KTVP-LP is owned by Mako Communications LLC of Corpus Christi, Texas.
[edit] History
The original construction permit was granted September 28, 1992 to Simon, Inc. The station was given call sign K56FF, to broadcast on channel 56 from Usery Mountain in east Mesa.[1] In March 1995, Simon, Inc. sold the permit to Keith L. Lowery,[2] who licensed the station on November 28, 1995, then sold it to ATN Network, Inc. in June 1996.[3] The station is listed as an American Independent Network affiliate as of July, 1996.[4] ATN Network, Inc. changed the station's calls to KTVP-LP in September 1997 and transferred the station to Hispano Television Ventures, Inc. (HTV), later called Hispanic Television Network Inc., in October 1999 as part of HTV's acquisition of ATN Network, Inc. HTV placed their new network, Hispanic Television Network (HTVN), on KTVP-LP, but facing financial difficulties, Hispanic Television Network Inc. sold the station to current owners Mako Communications LLC in August 2001.
In 1998, KNXV-TV was granted a permit to construct their digital facilities on channel 56, which forced KTVP-LP to move to a new channel. The station went silent for a time, but in 2002, Mako Communications moved the transmitter location to South Mountain and began broadcasting the America's Store shopping channel on channel 64. In January 2006, needing to vacate the 700 MHz band, KTVP-LP moved to its current channel 22. At that time, Mako Communications also switched programming to Almavision.
