History

The station was founded on May 1, 1990, on channel 24, but moved to channel 21 in 2005 due to displacement by KETH-TV's digital signal.

The station has had the KVQT call letters since August 2000.

KVQT was converted from analog to digital operation on June 12, 2009 by Skip Marsden of E.L. Marsden Wireless of Terrell, Texas, the manufacturer of the KVQT transmitter. KVQT began digital television broadcasting with two standard definition program streams, and has expanded to four.

The station was granted a minor change in call sign (from KVQT-LP to KVQT-LD) on May 4, 2010.[2]
