KBEH channel 63 is an MTV Tr3s affiliate serving the Los Angeles television market. It is licensed to Oxnard, California, and is owned by Bela Broadcasting of Miami, Florida. Because of its transmitter location, the station's signal covers only Los Angeles County, so KBEH employs low-power booster station KBEH1 to broadcast its signal into Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. It used to be an UPN affiliate for Santa Barbara from 1995 to 2002 and an English-language independent from 2002 until May of 2004.

[edit] History

The station originally went on the air in August of 1985 as independent KTIE. The station was the first TV station to operate in Ventura County, California since Ventura's KKOG-TV on channel 16 left the air in 1969. Originally airing live local news, movies and syndicated shows, the original owners sold the station in 1988. Under new calls KADY-TV, the station had numerous owners. KADY became one of the original affiliates of UPN in January 1995.

In 2002, KADY's owners dissolved the UPN affiliation and it became an independent station again. Among the shows seen on KADY was a rebroadcast of the local newscasts of Santa Barbara-based KEYT. KADY also debuted on DirecTV in the Los Angeles area.

In 2004, KADY-TV, then owned by Biltmore Broadcasting, was sold to Bela, LCC, a Florida-based Spanish-language broadcaster. As a result, in May 2004, Channel 63 became KBEH and became an independent Spanish language station. In order to expand the stations coverage area, KBEH began identifying as Oxnard-Los Angeles and has since gained coverage on local cable systems, in addition to DirecTV. One year later, when MTV Tr3s launched, Bela flipped KBEH, KMOH, and KEJR to it. With such a move, KBEH and KMOH became the network's lone full-power affiliates.

KBEH was one of four independent stations broadcasting at least part of its program schedule in Spanish. The others are KWHY, KRCA and KJLA, which broadcasts in both English and Spanish.
