History

KAHC-LD began operations in 1988 as K69FB, on analog channel 69, and was originally affiliated with the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). On June 17, 2004, its call letters changed to K45HC and switched to analog channel 45. In 2015, K45HC disaffiliated with TBN after 27 years and the station went silent for about a year. In 2016, it went on the air again with new call letters as KAHC-LP, later becoming its current call letters of KAHC-LD, after the station switched from analog to digital, remaining on its analog-era channel number 45.KAHC-LD Call Sign History
