KSCE (channel 38) is areligiousindependent television station inEl Paso, Texas, United States, owned by Channel 38 Christian Television. The station's studios are located on Wyoming Avenue (northwest ofI-10) incentral El Paso, and its transmitter is located atop theFranklin Mountains on the El Paso city limits.
The station first signed on the air on April 15, 1989, operating on anon-commercial license. Thecall letters initially stood for "Saint Clements Episcopal", as the station was originally intended to be an outreach by Saint Clements Episcopal School in downtown El Paso. However, the school lost interest in television broadcasting and the station's controlling board of directors appointed Grace Rendall, a former director at KCIK-TV (channel 14, nowKFOX-TV) as the station's manager before KSCE went on the air.

KSCE shut down its analog signal, overUHF channel 38, at 6 p.m. on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United Statestransitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 39, usingvirtual channel 38.[3]
On April 20, 2010, KSCE filed a request for aspecial temporary authorization with theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) to resume operating an analog signal on UHF channel 38, to broadcast information regarding the dangers to those traveling across theU.S.–Mexico border as a result of the ongoing drug wars in Mexico, on justification that most people in need of the information are unable to afford digital televisions or digital converter boxes.[4] On June 9, 2010, the FCC denied the station's request to restore its analog signal.[citation needed]
