KGAN

And then you have a couple of congressional races, uh, in the, the 2nd District, so, uh, the Northeast Iowa US House race.

Democrat Lindsey James and Republican Joe Mitchell have two debates, one October 1st, um, that's being hosted by Iowa News Now, which operates, um, KGAN, a CBS affiliate, and then Fox 28.

And then they've got another debate, uh, October 8th on Iowa PBS.

Independents thir- and third party candidates, uh, Dave Bashaw and Rick Stewart are on the ballot but, uh, were not included in those debates for similar reasons as to why, uh, Libertarian, uh, Thomas Lane didn't qualify for the debates in Iowa's US Senate race.

In 1968, the Orion Corporation of Louisville, Kentucky bought WMT.

In October 1981, WMT-TV split from the radio operation when Guy Gannett bought the television station and renamed it KGAN-TV.

In explaining, explaining the change in call letters, The Gazette reported under FCC policy, all call letters being approved now start with the letter W east of the Mississippi River and the letter K west of the Mississippi.

Sinclair Broadcasting of Baltimore, Maryland bought KGAN in 1998.
