History

The station began in 2004 on channel 45 in Victoria, Texas with the call sign K45IN.[1] The transmitter was moved to Palacios, Texas in 2007.[2]

The call sign was changed to KZHO-LP on August 28, 2008, and had its city of license changed to Bay City, Texas.[3]

It was displaced to channel 40 in March 2009 due to interference from Univision station KXLN (channel 45) in Houston.[4] On April 7, 2009, the station was taken off the air pending digital conversion.[5] The call sign was slightly changed to KZHO-LD on September 3, 2009.

Citing interference from Fox affiliate KBTV (channel 4) in Beaumont-Port Arthur, the station was displaced to channel 39 in March 2010.[6]

In August, 2010, the FCC approved the move of the station's transmitter to the Chase Tower in downtown Houston.[7] The station signed back on the air on September 23, 2010.

Under the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard governing the Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP),[8] KZHO displays channel 38 to tuners because CW affiliate KIAH, transmitting on channel 38, displays channel 39 via PSIP.
