KFFV is a commercial television station in Seattle, Washington, United States, broadcasting locally on digital channel 44 as an independent station branded as KFFV Television. It broadcasts on 44.2 as an affiliate of the Spanish-language Azteca. In addition, the station airs English-language infomercials on its main channel and Chinese-language programming ("AAT Television") on a digital subchannel.
The station is owned by OTA Broadcasting, LLC, a company controlled by Michael Dell's MSD Capital.
The former KHCV call letters were assigned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with a construction permit on October 2, 1989. The station signed on the air 10 years later on January 1, 1999 on Channel 45 after many permit extensions; ten years later, the call letters became KPST.
During the week of August 11, 2006, KHCV started carrying Azteca América (now known simply as Azteca) on its analog channel 45 and on its digital channel 44-2.
On December 20, 2006, Navarre's FUNimation Entertainment announced that the FUNimation channel would be broadcast on KHCV 44-3.
On March 1, 2007, KHCV started broadcasting content from GNF Entertainment Network on its digital subchannels 44-3 and 44-4. 44-3 carried GNF "Game & Music" and 44-4 carried GNF "Movie".
The analog broadcast (UHF 45) had been exclusively Azteca América, while the Comcast broadcast of this channel (Channel 15) is Jewelry TV. Since September 10, 2007, the analog UHF channel 45 appears to have carried the Jewelry TV content which is the same as the digital UHF channel 44-1 and Comcast channel 15.
