History
The FCC, supplied a construction permit to Meridian Communications Company, to serve Lake Havasu as full power station on UHF CH34 on 14th May, 1996. KMCC was named a month later previously its call sign was KAUE.
During the process of building the station; July, 1996, the broadcasters affirmed that the area was inadequate for operating as a full power TV station and the alternative site near Oatman couldn’t dispense city grade service due to terrain. By 1999, they requested to shift both the channels to Laughlin, Nevada, with transmitting line at the Oatman site. Later a modification of their proposal was attained which specified transmitter in Laughlin, having a secure affiliation with NBC for non-interference with Las Vegas NBC station.
By June, 2000 the Federal Communications Commission approved the request formally and the broadcast relay station started building in Laughlin. The construction permit for digital companion CH, UHF 32 was allotted on 15th January, 2002 and a special temporary authority was also granted for the broadcast of digital channel with reduced power.

The Mojave Broadcasting sold out the KMCC to Cranston II LLC under the supervision n approval of FCC by October, 2004 which was then consummated by July, 2005. The change of ownership changed the language of KMCC too; it changed to Spanish and programmed from TeleFormula.
