KDMI (channel 19) is areligioustelevision station inDes Moines, Iowa, United States,owned and operated byTri-State Christian Television (TCT). The station's transmitter is located inAlleman, Iowa. KDMI maintained studios on Southwest 7th Street in downtown Des Moines until TCT ended local operations in June 2018.^{[citation needed]}

KDMI signed on August 28, 2006, as anAmerica One affiliate.^[2]MyNetworkTV programming was added upon its launch on September 5. As MyNetworkTV's prime time lineup only aired six days a week for two hours, America One programming was retained in all other timeslots. By the fall of 2007, KDMI began carrying some first-runsyndicated programs, includingFamily Feud andTMZ on TV.

In 2009, America One was dropped in favor ofThis TV; the station initially discontinued the MyNetworkTV affiliation following its conversion to a programming service (one program from the service,WWE SmackDown, then aired onKCWI-TV until September 11, 2010, when the program moved to cable channelSyfy later that October). Outside of some syndicated programming, KDMI's schedule was then filled solely by This TV; however, as of October 3, 2011, KDMI re-affiliated with MyNetworkTV, although the station aired the service's programming 11 p.m.–1 a.m. (some nights 11:30 p.m.–1:30 a.m., depending on the length of one of This TV's second prime time movie broadcasts). KDMI dropped MyNetworkTV once again after September 27, 2014; the MyNetworkTV affiliation was later moved to a subchannel ofKCCI on December 1, 2014.

The KDMI call letters were previously used for two different radio stations in Des Moines. From 1960 to 1994 they were used at 97.3 FM, a Christian radio station owned by Buddy Tucker. After 97.3 becameKHKI, the KDMI call letters were moved to 1460 AM before that station becameKXNO at the beginning of 2001.^[3]

On January 6, 2016,Pappas Telecasting filed to sell KDMI toTennessee non-profit corporation Dove Broadcasting, Inc., for $1 million.^[4][5] Although TCT began operating the station on March 14 under alocal marketing agreement (LMA), the sale was formally consummated on April 27.^[6] Prior to the sale's closing, it was one of the few television stations in the country to carry the This TV network affiliation on its primary channel.
