It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 30 (virtual channel 29.1 via ) from a transmitter in rural northwestern Calcasieu Parish 5 miles northwest of Edgerly (located halfway between Lake Charles and Beaumont, Texas, allowing the station's signal to reach both markets), while the station maintain studios on Prien Lake Road in Lake Charles. Syndicated programs seen on this station include Two and a Half Men, The Dr. Oz Show, Jeopardy!, How I Met Your Mother, Rachael Ray,Modern Family, The Queen Latifah Show, and Steve Harvey.
KVHP also operates as an affiliate of The CW on its HD2 subchannel.
The station first signed on the air on December 12, 1982 as an independent station with the slogan "Make a U-Turn to KVHP, Channel 29". KVHP became a charter affiliate of the upstart Fox Broadcasting Company on October 9, 1986.
In 2003, KVHP established a low-power repeater station for the Beaumont area, KUIL-LP (channel 64), which served as the Fox affiliate for southeast Texas and held a secondary affiliation with UPN (KUIL-LP lost its Fox affiliation to KBTV-TV in January 2009 and became a MyNetworkTV affiliate). KVHP also operated another Texas-based repeater, KVHP-LD (channel 44) in Jasper; in March 2011, KVHP-LD ceased to serve as a translator of KVHP and began relaying programming from Beaumont ABC affiliate KBMT.
