History

On 15 April 1994, application JF0415CY was filed with the Federal Communications Commission. It was first granted a license to operate as K61GV channel 61 on April 15, 1996. On July 28, 1999, the station moved to its current frequency and changed its call-letters to K35FN, then changed callsigns to KYRK-LP on November 5, 1999. It gained its current call-sign of KVTE-LP on June 17, 2005.

Robin Leach became affiliated with KVTE in late 2004, and by March, 2005 had filed a lawsuit against owner Nathan Drage claiming, among other things, fraud against the corporation. Ultimately over a year later, in May 2006, Leach dismissed his lawsuit and claimed it was all a misunderstanding and that the allegations of fraud were the result of a miscommunication between Leach and his legal counsel.[1]

After Leach's departure the station produced a completely different show line-up of all original programming geared towards a national and international audience for what it called the Las Vegas Television Network. By June 1, 2010, however, the station was airing color bars and tone and had filed for a silent Special Temporary Authority with the Federal Communications Commission. It is now inactive.

gollark: Oh, I just agree with its political/economic/personal freedoms thing.
gollark: planned economy bad.
gollark: (which does mean that the current high inequality is somewhat problematic, but I'm not sure what the fix for that is unless you *can* somehow split economic/political power a lot)
gollark: (unless you can somehow strongly decouple them? it would be interesting if that could be done somehow)
gollark: You can, I'm sure, just complain that all examples of that aren't REAL communism. But really, centralized economic power leads to centralized political power.
