Overview
KATA-CD was a low-power television station associated with Mesquite, Texas, in the Dallas–Fort Worth area of the United States. The station is identified in reference material as a former television station rather than an active broadcaster. Its call sign, KATA-CD, follows the United States Federal Communications Commission convention for Class A digital television stations, although the available reference material does not establish the station's launch date, ownership history, programming schedule, network affiliation, transmission channel, or exact closure date. The station's presence in listings of Texas television outlets places it within the state's local-broadcasting ecosystem, alongside full-power stations, low-power stations, translators, and defunct facilities. As a local broadcast outlet, its principal brand function would have been the distribution of television programming to viewers in or around its licensed community, but the supplied sources do not support a more specific description of its programming or audience proposition. The website associated with the supplied dossier is SSN.tv; the available material does not establish whether that domain was operated by the station, its owner, or an affiliated service. KATA-CD should therefore be treated as a historical broadcast-station brand, not as a currently operating national media brand. Further verification would be required to document its technical facilities, ownership, programming, regulatory history, and the circumstances under which it ceased operations.
History
KATA-CD was a television station licensed to Mesquite, Texas, a community in the Dallas–Fort Worth media region. The available reference identifies it as a former low-power television station in the United States. That classification indicates that the station operated on a lower-power basis than a full-power commercial or public television station and was intended primarily to serve a defined local coverage area. The “-CD” suffix in its call sign is consistent with the digital-era Class A television designation used in the United States. However, the supplied material does not provide a verified chronology for the station. No launch year, former call signs, channel assignment, owner, network affiliation, program format, audience figures, or shutdown date is documented in the references available for this entry. KATA-CD appears in the broader context of Texas television-station listings, which distinguish between full-power stations, low-power facilities, translators, and defunct stations. Its classification as a former station indicates that the brand no longer represents an active broadcast operation. The supplied dossier also associates the station with SSN.tv, but the available evidence is insufficient to determine the nature or duration of that relationship. Consequently, the documented history of KATA-CD is limited to its identity as a former low-power television station connected with Mesquite and the Dallas–Fort Worth broadcast market. A fuller account would require archival Federal Communications Commission records, station directories, local newspaper coverage, or historical listings that establish its operating period and programming history.
