History
The station’s application history dates back to around February 2011 under the call letters K18JL-D. The callsigns were changed to the current KAJL-LD in 2013.
DTV America Corporation announced in December 2014 that KAJL will go on the air as a Telemundo affiliate. The station took to the air by early 2014 as an affiliate of Spanish-language television network, Telemundo, broadcasting in 1080i HD. The station is the newest competitor to two other Spanish television stations in the market, Univision affiliates KXUN-LD and KWNL-CD and MundoMax affiliate KKAF-CD.
Doctor TV, a new healthy-lifestyle oriented network was run on channel 16.2 until December 2015, when it was replaced by the Grit TV network. On that same day, KAJL-LD3 began broadcasting Sony Pictures Television's GetTV, and KAJL-LD4 was launched to serve as a Laff network affiliate.
