History
K52DJ Launched on 1989 as a repeater of Fresno’s Univision station KFTV. It was renamed KSUV-LP and moved to channel 39 in 1998 after Univision purchased UPN affiliate, KUZZ-TV (now KUVI-DT) from Buck Owens. It was renamed again to KBTF in 2002 during the launch of Telefutura. It was renamed again to KABE in 2004 after a callsign swap with the original KABE-CA (channel 31 now KBTF-CD). In 2013 the station obtained Class A status. The station had a news department in the mid 2010s. It now silmucasts KFTV’s newscasts
