History

Signing on as K64AT, the station was owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network and broadcast programming from TBN for many years on channel 64. K64AT moved to channel 33 in 1987 and took on the call sign of K33BT. It later moved to channel 39 in 2003, with its current call sign.

In 2007, TBN sold the station to Jeff Chang, a former California television weatherman and owner of several low-powered television stations (including sister station K33DK in Lucerne Valley).

On March 22, 2007, the station received a construction permit to flash-cut operations to digital television. Upon completion, it will broadcast at an effective radiated power of 15 kilowatts.

On May 6, 2009, the station was switched to an analog translator of KHIZ-DT 44 in Barstow, California. It also airs English and Cantonese programming.
