WDTB-LP is a Daystar-owned television station, under the license of Word of God Fellowship, Inc. Its analog signal on channel 40, the station is licensed to Hamburg, New York, but has applied for a change of its city of licence from Hamburg to Buffalo, and to move to channel 28.

[edit] History

The station was granted a broadcast license on May 31, 1989 under the call sign W39BC on channel 39, but would not sign on until 1993. When WIVB-TV was granted channel 39 for its digital signal in 1997, W39BC was displaced, but allowed to move to channel 40, and gained the call-sign of WBUF-LP (no relation to the former WBUF-TV or the current WBUF-FM). In 1999, it gained its current call-sign.

[edit] Recent Developments

Daystar has recently applied to purchase WNGS, channel 67 from bankrupt owner, Equity Media Holdings (formerly under an LMA with and operated by Granite Broadcasting). If this transaction is approved by the FCC, it is likely that Daystar programming would move to WNGS. At the same time, Daystar has applied to move its city of license from Hamburg to Buffalo, and to move to channel 28 afterwards.
