KHPK-LP is an English language Genesis Television Network television affiliate serving the Dallas/Fort Worth area. It is owned and operated by Mako Communications, LLC. It is not available on either Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, or Verizon FiOS at this time.

The station began as an independent with the callsign K69BS on channel 69, then in 2003 it has moved its broadcasts to channel 28 and was rebranded K28HU. In less than a month, the call letters were once again changed to KHPK (so named after the three principal owners (Investors) Ric Halden (H), Marc Pace (P), and Ron Knott (K) and it became an Urban America Television network affiliate, because these three owners were shareholders in Urban (UATV) much similar to Pax TV's (now ION TV (formerly i)) format. KHPK aired the UATV signal 24 hours a day and was programmed and designed by Fred Hutton,(of American Independent Network). After UATV ceased operations in May 1, 2006 due to lack of necessary resources; KHPK became a temporary repeater for former Almavision affiliate KNAV-LP. However, when the Genesis Television Network was launched, it gave both stations a window of opportunity. While KNAV is airing Genesis in Spanish, KHPK is showing the same network in an english format.
