Encyclopedia
KDLH is the CBS
-affiliated television station
for the Iron Range
area of Northeastern Minnesota
that is licensed to Duluth
. It broadcasts a high definition
digital signal on UHF channel 33 from a transmitter west of downtown in Hilltop Park. Owned by the Malara Broadcast Group
, the station is operated through a local marketing agreement
(LMA) by the Granite Broadcasting Corporation
. This makes it sister to NBC
affiliate KBJR-TV
and its semi-satellite KRII. KDLH and KBJR share studios on South Lake Avenue in Duluth. Syndicated
programing on this station includes: The Doctors
, Dr. Oz, Jeopardy!
, and Anderson
. KDLH can also be seen on KRII's third digital subchannel that broadcasts on UHF channel 11.3 from a transmitter in Meadow Brook

and was owned by Dalton LeMasurier along with KDAL-AM
610. It switched affiliations with WDSM-TV (now KBJR) in 1955 and joined CBS. It also aired some ABC
programs sharing them with WDSM until WDIO-TV
signed-on in 1966. During the late-1950s, KDAL was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network
. KDAL began broadcasting in color in 1965. The LeMasurier family sold KDAL-AM-TV to what eventually became Tribune Broadcasting
in 1960. Tribune sold KDAL-TV to Stauffer Communications in 1979 who changed the call letters to KDLH-TV. The station dropped the -TV suffix in 1991.
Stauffer merged with Morris Communications
in 1995 but Morris was not allowed to keep the former Stauffer television stations. KDLH, along with most of its sisters, were sold to Benedek Broadcasting
. That company merged with Gray Television
in 2001 but KDLH was not included in the merger and was sold to Chelsey Broadcasting instead. New Vision Television
bought the station in 2003.
In March 2005, the Malara Broadcast Group purchased channel 3 from New Vision and outsourced most of the station's functions to longtime rival KBJR who was owned by the Granite Broadcasting Corporation. Under this agreement, KDLH laid-off most of its staff and KBJR began to handle nearly all of KDLH's operations. Filings with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) showed Malara could operate KDLH with as few as two people on the payroll.
KDLH's digital transmitter had been operating at reduced power with a substitute side-mounted antenna after a May 18, 2008 fire that severely damaged its main digital antenna. It returned to full power on UHF channel 33 by June 2009. In February 2009, Malara Broadcasting announced that KDLH would not make the switch to all digital later in the month due to the fire. With that announcement, the station was the only one in the area still broadcasting in analog after February 19 as KBJR, WDSE, WDIO, and KQDS-TV
all went digital-only on that date. On June 12 at around 7 p.m., KDLH ceased normal broadcasting operations on its analog signal. At that time, the analog station began a nightlight signal consisting of a ten minute digital television informational video on a constant loop.
On June 26 two weeks after regular broadcasts were stopped, the nightlight signal was terminated with the help of Bob Peterson (a former engineer at the station who helped launch KDLH in 1954) bringing an end to all full-power analog broadcasting in the area. In November 2009, the station re-branded from "CBS 3" to "KDLH 3". This brought a new logo to the station for the first time since it merged with KBJR.
While operating its own news department, KDLH was the last of the big three
stations in Duluth to have a weeknight 5 o'clock broadcast. It aired Judge Judy
in the time slot instead. In 2004, it debuted a 5 p.m. show that featured anchor Amy Rutledge and meteorologist Phil Johnson. This was replaced along with its 6 o'clock show with the current one at 5:30 when KDLH merged with KBJR in March 2005. Judge Judy has since reclaimed the 5 o'clock spot on channel 3 and the CBS Evening News
airs at 6.
After the buyout, the station had its news department closed and merged with KBJR. To maintain a separate identity, there were some channel 6 personalities that were also seen on KDLH. However, due to KBJR's existing newscasts not all of that station's personnel were seen on channel 3. More recently the news teams of both stations have been downsized. KDLH's weekday morning show is known as Northland's NewsCenter
Morning Plus and is essentially a simulcast of the second hour of KBJR's morning show, Northland's NewsCenter Today. Originally, it had been a separate ninety minute broadcast before being dropped in favor of a ninety minute simulcast of KBJR.
KDLH's Northland's NewsCenter at 5:30 had been anchored by Pat Kelly who was the only channel 3 news team member remaining after the KDLH sellout. Its weeknight 10 o'clock newscast, which continues to be a separate production, was known as Northland's NewsCenter Express and consisted of a ten minute news "capsule". The other 25 minutes was a Seinfeld
rerun. After thirteen months of mediocre ratings, KDLH changed the 10 o'clock show to the traditional 35 minutes and re-branded it to Northland's NewsCenter Tonight. On Sunday nights at 10, there continues to be a ten minute Northland's NewsCenter Express update followed by Judge Judy. Otherwise, there are no weekend newscasts on KDLH. Saturday nights at 10, there is a local sports highlight show that airs known as Sports Zone.
KBJR produces a weeknight prime time newscast (known as Northland's NewsCenter at 9) on its second
digital subchannel that has MyNetworkTV
affiliation. This had been simulcasted on KDLH-DT2
"Northland CW 2" but was dropped. That station continues to airs the nationally syndicated
morning show The Daily Buzz
on weekdays from 5 to 8. KDLH and KBJR began broadcasting their local newscasts in 16x9 widescreen
on May 4, 2009. They were the first television stations in the market to do so. Although not true high definition
, the format matches the ratio of HD televisions. As of November, this station has now began to brand its separate weeknight shows as KDLH 3 News. These broadcasts air from a secondary set. It continues to use the Northland's NewsCenter branding when simulcasting KBJR's newscasts. On January 11, 2010, KDLH will begin airing the area's only weeknight 6:30 o'clock newscast.
