Background
On February 26, 1980, the Federal Communications Commission granted a construction permit to Fayetteville Television, Inc., for a new commercial television station on channel 40 in Fayetteville. The station began broadcasting as independent station WKFT on June 1, 1981; studios were located in the old First Union Bank on Donaldson Street in downtown Fayetteville and transmitted its signal from a 750-foot tower in unincorporated Cumberland County on Cliffdale Road, with 1.54 million watts of power. WKFT offered a general entertainment format consisting of cartoons, westerns, religious shows, dramas and classic sitcoms. The station put a fairly decent signal into the southern portion of the Triangle, but was harder to receive in the more densely populated areas of the market. WKFT became WUVC-TV 40 on June 1, 2003 after the station was sold to Univision, becoming North Carolina's very first Spanish television station in the process.
