History

edit

The station was founded on July 31, 1986, under call sign K22BH and began broadcasting on January 2, 1991, showing music videos. On January 11, 1995, the station joined The WB upon the network's launch; on September 21, 1998, the station dropped WB programming (when cable-only "KWDB" launched) and became an independent station. On May 8, 2000, it changed the call sign to K41FO. On June 14, 2001, it became KCRP-LP and then became KCRP-CA on November 13 that year. In 2002, the station joined TeleFutura; after TeleFutura became UniMás in 2013, the station became an affiliate of the new network. On June 3, 2015, the station was licensed for digital operation and changed the call sign to the current KCRP-CD.
