KSCM-LP (channel 18) was a low-power television station in Bryan, Texas, United States, which was affiliated with the Spanish-language network Telemundo. Owned by Raycom Media, the station was a simulcast of the second digital subchannel of Waco-licensed ABC affiliate KXXV (channel 25) and its Bryan-based semi-satellite KRHD-CD (channel 40). KSCM-LP's transmitter was located northwest of Bryan on US 190/SH 6 in unincorporated southern Robertson County.

History

[edit]

In April 2006, Drewry Communications reached an agreement with R. D. Harris to purchase KSCM-LP for a reported $125,000.[2] On August 10, 2015, Raycom Media announced that it would purchase Drewry Communications for $160 million.[3][4] The sale was completed on December 1.[5]

Raycom Media surrendered the station's license for cancellation on November 14, 2017.[6] It had a construction permit to flash-cut to digital on channel 18; these facilities were never built.
