WKDH is the ABC network affiliate for the Columbus/Tupelo/West Point, Mississippi television market. The station is licensed to nearby Houston, Mississippi, and broadcasts on digital channel 45, with no analog signal. On January 26, 2007, at 5:00 AM, WKDH turned off its analog signal on channel 45 and turned on its digital signal. This makes WKDH one of the few primary ABC affiliates in the US with a digital-only signal.

Its transmitter is located near Woodland, Mississippi. It is legally owned by Southern Broadcasting (no relation to "Southern Broadcast Corporation of Sarasota", a legal name for Calkins Media), but is controlled by WTVA, Inc. through a local marketing agreement.

The station's general manager is Dee Spain, son of WTVA founder Frank K. Spain.
