KIDK 1984

Channel 3 changed its call letters to the current KIDK on December 18, 1984, when the radio stations were sold due to an FCC rule in place at the time that prohibited TV and radio stations in the same market, but with different ownership from sharing the same call letters. The Microgramma Bold wordmark was introduced that year while the 1977 logo was retained and continued to be used until 1999. Retlaw Enterprises purchased channel 3 in 1988.
