KVFA-LP is a low power television station serving the Imperial Valley, California and Yuma, Arizona. It broadcasts in analog on VHF channel 6 in Yuma, and on UHF channels 31 and 63^{[citation needed]}. Owned by KM Communications of Skokie, Illinois, KVFA carries home shopping, Christian religious and Spanish language programs, but was slated to become part of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, and Almavision, a Spanish language Christian network^{[citation needed]}. Another independent channel, KYUM-LP on channel 2 has a similar programming format.

[edit] History

On October 7, 2004, the FCC granted a permit to KM Communications to construct a low-power television station on VHF channel 6 to serve Yuma, Arizona. The station was originally assigned callsign K06OD, but in November 2005, took the call letters KVFA-LP. The station was first reported on the air in September 2006, broadcasting under program test authority, since as of the end of that month, the station had not yet applied for a license to cover construction.
