A low-power television station, KQUP-LD (channel 47), serves as a supplement to KQUP for coverage of Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Equity entered bankruptcy reorganization in 2008; the station lost RTN programming in 2009 as the result of a contract dispute with the network and was then sold at auction to Daystar.
A construction permit for channel 24, originally assigned the call sign KBGC, was awarded in 1998, but it was not for 5+1⁄2 years that the station began broadcasting as intended.
Equity had hoped to start broadcasting at full power by September 1, but by that time, only K47EJ, a translator in Coeur d'Alene (the present KQUP-LD), was ready.
Doug Krile, Equity's corporate public relations director, told the Lewiston Morning Tribune in late September, "This was not the timetable everything was supposed to be operating on.
