KASY

Station Profile

Founded in 1995, KASY was primarily a UPN affiliate, but had a secondary affiliation with The WB. In 1997, KASY became an exclusive UPN affiliate. Two years later, ACME Communications, owner of the Albuquerque WB affiliate KWBQ, bought KASY, resulting in the creation of the first major television duopoly in the Albuquerque market. KASY affiliated with MyNetwork in 2006, and was rebranded as My50 TV. The station operates under a Shared Services Agreement with Nexstar owned KRQE.
