The station began with an originalconstruction permit for K69FM (channel 69), granted to Broadcasting Systems of Phoenix on August 19, 1988. The station was licensed on January 11, 1990, with city of license ofSouth Phoenix. Early programming is unknown. In February 1991, the station was sold to Polar Broadcasting of Arizona, aSan Francisco–based company, who shortly thereafter applied to move the station to channel 67 and change the city of license to Phoenix. The station licensed its new facilities and its callsign was changed to K67FE in December 1992.
In June 1996, the station was sold to Paxson Communications (nowIon Media Networks) and became part of the Infomall TV Network, or inTV. Paxson sold the station in August 1999 to Spanish Independent Broadcasting Network, who changed the programming to a simulcast ofKWHY-TV (channel 22), a Spanish-language independent station inLos Angeles. The next year, needing to vacate the upper-700 MHz band (channels 60–69), the station applied for and was granted a permit to move to channel 53. The station was licensed in June 2002 as K53GF. Sometime later,[when?] it dropped the KWHY-TV rebroadcast and became an independent station, airing mostly movies andinfomercials for local car dealerships.
In May 2005, K53GF received a request to vacate channel 53 fromAloha Partners, who were winners of theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) auction for the spectrum now occupied by channel 54.[2] However, with theDTV conversion still in process, there were no suitable in-core channels to which K53GF could move their analog operations. Instead, they requested to operate as a low-power digital TV station on channel 38 and the FCC granted a construction permit in October 2005 to build low-power DTV station K38IZ-D. In the meantime, Aloha Partners had not launched its proposed service to Public Safety,[3] and K53GF remained on the air on analog channel 53 until May 2010. Aloha Partners and its channel 54/59 spectrum were acquired on February 4, 2008, byAT&T Mobility.[4]
On October 27, 2008, the station filed for special temporary authorization (STA) to continue broadcasting the analog signal until 2009.[5] The station began digital operation under program test authority on October 30, 2008.
