History
KVHP went on air on Dec 12, 1982 as an independent service with slogan Make a U-Turn to KVHP, Channel 29. It would offer a blend of family and religious programs. Dr. Hugh Van Eaton, a local Baptist minister was the original owner of the religious independent television who launched it under the banner of Lake Charles Electronic Media. Marivn Gorman, a New Orleans televangelist bought the channel in 1986 out of receivership but released it to a consortium consisting of five businessmen. It became a charter affiliate of the upstart Fox Broadcasting Company upon its launch on Oct 9, 1986. National Communications in 1996 acquired KVPHP from KVHP partners held by the five businessmen.
An LP repeater of the station was launched in 2003 to carry transmissions in Beaumont area; it was a primary Fox and secondary United Paramount Network affiliate. Another rebroadcaster: KVHP-LD was active in Texas. It brought ABC programming on its digital sub-channel on July 28, 2009. National Communications, Inc. on March 10, 2016 sold the channel to KVHP License Subsidiary, LLC.
