WDDN-LD is a low-power religious television station in Washington, DC, broadcasting locally on channel 23 as an affiliate of Daystar. The station is owned by Daystar Television Network.
WDDN-LD signed on in December 1988. As W42AJ, the station was the Washington market's first Telemundo affiliate.[1][2] When current affiliate W64BW (now WZDC-CD) signed on late 1993, the two stations are recorded as simulcasting each other.[3]
The station, then known as WSIT-LP, was sold to Paxson Communications in 1996 and Capital Media in 1999. Capital Media assigned the famous callsign WKRP. WKRP-LP moved to channel 23 in 2003 in order to avoid interference from WVPY in Front Royal, Virginia. Daystar purchased the station in 2005.[4]
