KETH-TV, virtual channel 14 (UHF digital channel 24), is a TBN owned-and-operated television station licensed to Houston, Texas, United States. The station is owned by the Community Educational Television subsidiary of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, which manages TBN-owned stations in Texas and Florida on channels allocated for non-commercial educational broadcasting, and serves as the subsidiary's flagship station. KETH's studios (and CET's general offices) are located in the Alief section of Houston. The transmitter is located near Missouri City, in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County.
History
The station was founded on October 12, 1983, and first signed on the air on July 16, 1987.
Digital television
This station's digital signal, like most other full-service TBN owned-and-operated stations, carries five different TBN-run networks.
| Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14.1 | 480i | 4:3 | TBN | Main TBN programming |
| 14.2 | TCC | Hillsong Channel | ||
| 14.3 | COMBO | JUCE TV/Smile | ||
| 14.4 | Enlace | Enlace | ||

TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.[1]
KETH-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 14, on that date.[2] The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 24, using PSIP to display KETH-TV's virtual channel as 14 on digital television receivers.
Programming
As with other Community Educational Television stations, KETH carries almost all of the TBN network schedule, as well as some locally produced programs: a local version of Praise the Lord, Up with the Son and Joy in Our Town. In addition to programming from TBN, the station airs educational programming to prepare local students for the General Educational Development test to fulfill the requirements under their license service.
