KVFW-LD is a low-powered television station licensed to Fort Worth, Texas and owned by New York Spectrum Holding Company, LLC. It is not available on either Charter Communications or Verizon FiOS, as there is no legal requirement for a cable or satellite provider to carry a low-power station or station with insignificant numbers of viewers.

KVFW signed on in 1998 as a TBN Enlace USA affiliate on channel 65 with calls K65HA; the KVFW call letters were issued in late 1999. In 2003, the station moved to channel 38 for better market coverage. Channel 65, the original channel assignment, was made a repeater without FCC authorization. After a complaint to the FCC, channel 65 was shut down. That same year, the TBN Enlace USA affiliation was moved to KDTX-TV as one of its digital subchannels. From 2004 to 2009, it was the flagship station for Reino Unido Network, a Spanish religious network operated by Templo Jesucristo Rey de Gloria. The slogan was "Venga tu Reino y Hágase tu Voluntad (a section of the Our Father in Spanish)".

In June 2009, Reino Unido Network moved its Dallas affiliation to KATA-CD subchannel 50.2. Also in 2009, KVFW-LP ceased analog broadcasting and switched to digital. Beginning in May 2010, KVFW affiliated with the Almavision network, making the network's third return to the Dallas/Fort Worth market. However, in September 2010, KVFW returned to its previous independent Spanish Religious programming.

In early 2014, Gerald Benavides (the station's original owner) sold KVFW-LD to CMMB America, with New York Spectrum Holding Company, LLC as its licensee. That same year, KVFW switched its programming to infomercials.
