For the television station in
Houston, Texas that used the KHTV callsign from 1967-1999, see
KIAH .
Television station in California, United States
KHTV-CD ,
virtual channel 6 (
UHF
digital channel 22), is a
low-power ,
Class A
MeTV+
owned-and-operated
television station
licensed to
Los Angeles, California , United States. The station is owned by
Chicago -based
Weigel Broadcasting . KHTV-CD's transmitter is located at the Mount Harvard Radio Site in the
San Gabriel Mountains .
Due to its low-power status, KHTV-CD's broadcasting radius does not reach all of Greater Los Angeles. Therefore, it must rely on
cable and
satellite carriage to reach the entire
market .
History
The station was founded on October 22, 1993. It signed on as K38EA on channel 38, before moving to channel 48 as KHTV-LP , starting in 2000 as an affiliate of now defunct Home Shopping en Español, later rebranding to HSE (a
Spanish-language channel operated by parent channel
Home Shopping Network ) until HSE ceased operations in June 2002. When
KOCE launched its digital signal on channel 48 in 2001, this displaced KHTV-LP to channel 67. It stayed on channel 67 until December 31, 2011, when the last of the LPTV stations still using out-of-core channels 52-69 had to vacate that spectrum. In 2012, KHTV-LP converted to digital as KHTV-LD and moved to channel 27. On July 11, 2012, the station received class A status and changed its call sign to KHTV-CD . In 2019, as part of the repack, KHTV-CD moved to its current channel 22 allocation, channel sharing with
MeTV owned-and-operated station
KAZA-TV .
The KHTV call letters were originally used by an unrelated full-power station in
Portland, Oregon on channel 27, and in
Houston, Texas on
channel 39 .
On February 28, 2022, KHTV-CD discontinued carrying Jewelry Television on 6.1 and replaced it with
MeTV Plus . With this change, 6.1 was converted to 720p HD. All remaining subchannels carried by KHTV-CD were removed. MeTV Plus had been on KAZA 54.3 since its expansion to Weigel-owned stations in September 2021.
