Background
The station first signed on the air on July 9, 1989; it was one of the first stations to be built and signed on the air by TBN subsidiary Community Educational Television. KHCE's programming was also previously simulcast on a low-power translator station, K20BW in San Antonio; this translator ceased operations in 2010, and has since been sold to Digital Networks - Southwest, LLC.
KHCE produces four local programs seen on the air: a local version of TBN's local public affairs franchise Joy in our Town, the biblical studies program Up with the Son, the educational program We Speak Inglés y Español and a local edition of Praise the Lord.
Digital television
This station's digital signal, like most other full-service TBN owned-and-operated stations, carries five different TBN-run networks.
TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.
KHCE-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 23, on that date. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 16, using PSIP to display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 23.
