KTAV-LD

KTAV-LD is a low-power television station licensed to Altadena, California, serving the Los Angeles area. In the available reference material, the station is listed as channel 35.1 and as an affiliate of Almavision, a Spanish-language Christian television network. The station should therefore be understood primarily as a local broadcast outlet rather than as an independently documented consumer brand or national network. Almavision broadcasts Christian programming in Spanish and has been described as distributing its programming by satellite, including through Echostar and SatMex 5. Its programming identity is expressed through the slogans “Televisión Cristiana...a la manera de Dios” and “Comprometidos con la verdad.” KTAV-LD is one of the stations associated with that network’s affiliate footprint. The available material does not establish when KTAV-LD began broadcasting, who owns or operates the facility, its transmitter specifications, its current affiliation status, or whether its programming schedule has changed. The station’s relationship with Almavision provides the principal context for its public identity. Almavision began broadcasting in Los Angeles on December 28, 2002, originally using the name VidaVision before changing its name in early 2003 after learning that another organization in Florida was using that name. The network was founded by Juan “Bruno” Caamaño. These dates and organizational details describe Almavision rather than proving a corresponding founding date for KTAV-LD itself. Because KTAV-LD is a broadcast license and call sign rather than a widely marketed standalone brand, publicly available brand information is limited. No reliable information in the supplied material identifies a separate product portfolio, executive team, financial performance, stock listing, or corporate ownership structure for the station. Its documented role is that of a local low-power television outlet carrying or affiliated with Spanish-language Christian programming under the Almavision network identity.

KTAV-LD is documented in the supplied material as a low-power television station licensed to Altadena, California, and serving the Los Angeles region. Its listed digital or program position is channel 35.1. The same material places KTAV-LD within Almavision’s affiliate network, connecting the station to a Spanish-language Christian television service operating across parts of North and Central America. The available history is primarily the history of Almavision rather than a detailed institutional history of KTAV-LD. Almavision Television began broadcasting on December 28, 2002, in Los Angeles under the name VidaVision, using channel 25. In early 2003, the organization changed its name to Almavision after discovering that another group in Florida was already using the VidaVision name. The new name was explained as meaning “Soul Vision.” The network was founded by Juan “Bruno” Caamaño, who described the project as originating from a religious calling to establish a television ministry. Almavision’s service has been characterized by Spanish-language Christian programming, with distribution through satellite systems including Echostar and SatMex 5. Its stated identity has included the slogans “Televisión Cristiana...a la manera de Dios” and “Comprometidos con la verdad.” KTAV-LD appears in the network’s affiliate list alongside low-power and Class A stations in California, Illinois, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Nevada, and Washington. Within that structure, KTAV-LD functioned as the Altadena/Los Angeles outlet identified with Almavision on 35.1. No supplied source provides a separate launch date for KTAV-LD, a chronology of its license transfers or technical changes, its ownership history, or confirmation of its current programming and affiliation. It is therefore not possible to assign the station the 2002 founding date of Almavision without conflating the network with the local broadcast facility. The station’s documented significance is its role as a local distribution point for Almavision’s Spanish-language Christian programming in the Los Angeles market.
