    KAMT-LP, UHF analog channel 50, was a low-power TeleFutura-affiliated television station licensedtoAmarillo, Texas, United States. The station was owned by Drewry Communications.

    History

    [edit]

    The station was founded in 2005.

    On June 25, 2008, original owner Equity Media Holdings disclosed that it was selling KAMT to Luken Communications, LLC.[1]

    Equity Media Holdings has been in chapter 11 bankruptcy since December 2008[2] and offers by Luken Communications to acquire Equity-owned stations in six markets have since been withdrawn.[3] On April 10, 2009, Equity Media announced a fire sale of all television stations - KAMT was set for an asking price of $750,000.[4] However, a buyer was not found until October, when Drewry Communications Group, then-owner of KFDA-TV (now owned by Gray Television), announced that it would purchase the station as part of a larger deal.[5]

    The station's license was surrendered to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on October 6, 2010, and the KAMT-LP call sign was cancelled by the FCC that same day.
