Profile CDBS |
KTFN, virtual channel 65 (UHF digital channel 51), is a UniMás-affiliated television station located in El Paso, Texas, United States. The station is owned by the Entravision Communications Corporation, as part of a duopoly with Univision affiliate KINT-TV (channel 26). The two stations share studio facilities located on North Mesa Street/Highway 20 in northwest El Paso, and its transmitter is located atop the Franklin Mountains on the El Paso city limits. On cable, the station is available on Charter Communications channel 5.
The station first signed on the air on June 22, 1991 as KJLF-TV; it originally served as an English language outlet, formatted as religious independent station. The station was founded by Pete E. Meryl Warren III – who had signed on KCIK-TV (channel 14, now KFOX-TV) in August 1979 – and was run by the Warren family, with John Warren serving as the station manager. Initially, KJLF-TV ran mostly Christian-oriented programs mixed with several hours of secular programs such as sporting and hunting shows, westerns, some older sitcoms, public domain movies and low-budget barter cartoons. Gradually, the religious programming decreased and was replaced with more classic sitcoms and cartoons, causing the station to evolve into a more traditional independent.
