**KCBU** (channel 15) is a [television station](/source/Television_station) in [Price, Utah](/source/Price%2C_Utah), United States. The station is owned by [Gray Media](/source/Gray_Media). KCBU's transmitter is located on Ford Ridge. Programming is currently unknown.

## History

The station had a [construction permit](/source/Construction_permit) to increase the power of the digital signal to 4 [kilowatts](/source/Kilowatts) and was to have moved its [transmitter](/source/Broadcast_transmitter) to a peak south of [Springville, Utah](/source/Springville%2C_Utah). This would have effectively given the station signal reach into the [Salt Lake City](/source/Salt_Lake_City) [market](/source/Media_market) it was a part of. When the construction permit was approved, KCBU was to broadcast on digital channel 11.

The station's license was applied for in 2003, and the station went on the air as KUTF on October 24 as a [TeleFutura](/source/TeleFutura) affiliate.

The station briefly changed its call sign to KCBU on March 31, 2005, but switched back to its original calls on April 29. On July 8, 2005, the station dropped TeleFutura for the English-language [Retro Television Network](/source/Retro_Television_Network), and the station's call sign was officially changed to KCBU that day.

On January 4, 2009, a contract conflict between Equity Media Holdings Corporation and RTV interrupted the programming on many RTV affiliates.[3] As a result, Luken moved RTV operations to its headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and dropped all Equity-owned affiliates, including KCBU.[4]

KCBU was sold at auction to Word of God Fellowship, the parent company of the [Daystar](/source/Daystar_Television_Network) network, on April 16, 2009, along with several other Equity properties.[5] The station ceased analog operations on June 12, 2009, and never completed its digital facilities under Daystar, resulting in the cancellation of its license on July 6, 2010, as the network also purchased sister station [KUTF](/source/KUTF) (channel 12) in [Logan](/source/Logan%2C_Utah), which would be converted to digital.

In 2024, [Marquee Broadcasting](/source/Marquee_Broadcasting) agreed to swap the rights to the FCC construction permit for a new KCBU in Price to [Gray Television](/source/Gray_Television) in exchange for [KGWN-TV](/source/KGWN-TV) in [Cheyenne, Wyoming](/source/Cheyenne%2C_Wyoming), and [KCWY-DT](/source/KCWY-DT) in [Casper, Wyoming](/source/Casper%2C_Wyoming).[6] The station filed for a license to cover on September 8, 2025.[7]
