WCKD-LP (channel 30) was a low-power television station licensed to both Bangor and Dedham, Maine, United States.
[3][4] Cuts in federal funding led to the elimination of MPT Plus on June 30, 1996;[5] W30BF then became a repeater of Maine Public Television's primary service[6] until 1999, when James McLeod, owner of Pax affiliate WBGR-LP (channel 33), bought the station.
However, UPN informed the station that it not only could not drop the network before the expiration of its contract in December 2005, but that WCKD-LP was not allowed to preempt UPN programming for Fox Sports' weeknight telecasts;[9] as a result, on October 7, the same day that WPXT switched affiliations, Adelphia Communications replaced WCKD-LP with Foxnet,[10] though the station was reinstated (with Foxnet moving to another channel) a month later.
[11] Although WCKD-LP remained with UPN,[11] its association with Fox Sports also continued, allowing the station to air Super Bowl XXXVI.
[12] After Rockfleet Broadcasting acquired W22BU (channel 22) from MS Communications in 2003, it changed that station's call letters to WFVX-LP and, on April 13, affiliated it with Fox.
