History

Founded July 25, 1990, KYAV-LD has been previously affiliated with CNC, a Spanish-language news channel based in

Mas Musica
, the 24-hour Spanish-language music video channel.

In January 2003, the station relaunched with

Azteca America programming; that May, Desert Television—owner of KPSP-CD—acquired the outlet.[2]

On October 18, 2009, the then-KYAV-LP went out of business and the signal ceased operations.[citation needed] On February 22, 2012, the station changed its call sign to KYAV-LD. The station became an AccuWeather affiliate, a 24-hour live weather network features weather reports and forecasts.

In January 2012, News-Press & Gazette Company acquired the non-license assets of KYAV and KPSP; a year later, it purchased the stations' licenses outright. The deals made KYAV a sister station to ABC affiliate KESQ-TV and Telemundo affiliate KUNA-LP, among other stations.[3]

As of 2019, the AccuWeather affiliation (which has been discontinued from most of its affiliates by this point) has been dropped in favor of a "News" format.
