KATA-CA is a low-powered television station affiliated with the Mexico-based Multimedios Television, owned and operated by Mako Communications Broadcasting. It broadcasts on channel 50 and licensed to Mesquite, Texas. It is not available on either Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, Verizon FiOS, or USDTV at this time.
The station began its broadcasting activities on Channel 60 as a repeater for former FamilyNet affiliate K46EV (now KJJM-LP) until it picked up a new affiliated with the former America's Voice network until that network's end in 2000. On October 3, 2005, KATA was made a "Class A Station" and moved its broadcasts to channel 50 and switched affiliates to the English version of Almavision. After a few missteps the English network was dropped. In early 2006, KATA became a flagship station for the Multimedios network.
On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KATA-CA will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
