K43GZ-D (channel 43) is a low-powered television station in Spokane, Washington, owned by Ventana Television. It carries home shopping programs from HSN2.

History

The station was initially licensed as K14IF channel 14 in 1993. K14IF was owned by Clarabelle F. Boone; under her ownership, the station began its affiliation with the Home Shopping Network.

On November 23, 1994, K14IF was sold to West LPTV, Inc.

On June 14, 1996, K14IF was sold to Silver King Communications (later USA broadcasting), the broadcasting arm of HSN.

On June 3, 2003, K14IF was sold to current owner, Ventana Television, Inc. Programming switched to America's Store.

On December 28, 2005, K14IF became K43GZ.

After America's Store shut down in 2007, K43GZ reverted to HSN.

On November 19, 2012, the station flash cut to digital and changed its call sign to K43GZ-D. In the fall of 2014, programming switched to HSN's alternate feed, HSN2, apparently in response to the prime HSN feed airing on a subchannel of KGPX.
