In 1983, the American Christian Television System (ACTS) won the ability to build a low-power TV station on channel 20 in Anchorage as part of an FCC lottery.[3] ACTS, a division of the Southern Baptist Convention, began constructing studios on 1/4 Mile O'Malley Road and network reception facilities in downtown Anchorage.[4] K20AG began broadcasting on July 11, 1984.[5] It was the second station built by ACTS after one in Tyler, Texas.[6] By January 1995, when it became KCFT-LP, it was affiliated with FamilyNet.[1]
At various times in its history, the station has broadcast local sports, including Anchorage Pilots baseball in 1986[7] and Alaska Anchorage Seawolves in the 2000s.[8]
