KEHO-LD is a low-power television station in Houston, Texas, owned by Elva Rosa and Moises Garza, with a permit to build a digital station on channel 49.
History
The station started in 2007 as K13ZD on analog channel 13 in Beaumont, Texas, though the station never was on the air in the Beaumont area (typical of a lot of low power TV signals licensed to the Beaumont market). The call sign changed to KEHO-LP on August 28, 2008.
Citing interference from WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the station applied to construct its digital signal on channel 49, and that application was granted on January 27, 2010. At that time, the call sign was changed to KEHO-LD.
On July 26, 2010, the station was sold to Elva Rosa and Moises Garza for $300,000.
On January 12, 2011, the FCC approved the move of the station's transmitter to the Chase Tower in downtown Houston. This move colocates KEHO's transmitter with that of sister station KZHO-LD.
Under the ATSC standard governing PSIP, when it signs on, KEHO must display channel 32 to tuners because existing broadcaster KPXB-TV, transmitting on channel 32, displays channel 49 via PSIP.
