KYAV-LD is a television station serving the Palm Springs, California area. It broadcasts digitally on VHF channel 12 and owned by News-Press & Gazette Company, owners of sister television stations KESQ, KPSP-LD, KDFX-CD, KCWQ and KUNA.
Founded July 25, 1990, KYAV-LD has been previously affiliated with CNC, a Spanish-language news channel based in Colombia, and Mas Musica, the 24-hour Spanish-language music video channel.
It has been an Azteca America affiliate since May 2003 and was purchased by Desert Television in August 2004, owner of local CBS affiliate KPSP-CD, although the station operates under the licensee U-Dub Productions LLC based in Yucca Valley, California. The company used to operate another Azteca America station, a low-power feeder for the Victor Valley, California on channel 19. [citation needed]
On October 18, 2009, the then-KYAV-LP went out of business and the signal ceased operations.[citation needed] On February 22, 2012, the station changed its call sign to KYAV-LD. The station became an AccuWeather affiliate, a 24-hour live weather network features weather reports and forecasts.
In January 2012, News-Press & Gazette Company acquired the non-license assets of KYAV and KPSP; a year later, it purchased the stations' licenses outright. The deals make KYAV a sister station to ABC affiliate KESQ-TV and Telemundo affiliate KUNA-LP, among other stations.[1]
As of 2019, the AccuWeather affiliation (which has been discontinued from most of its affiliates by this point) has been dropped in favor of a "News" format.
