KESE-LP is the lone Telemundo affiliate serving the Yuma-El Centro (Imperial Valley) TV market, located in Yuma, Arizona. It is owned and operated by Gulf-California Broadcast Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the News-Press & Gazette Company of St. Joseph, Missouri, and shares studios with KECY-TV in Yuma.
The station is the first full-time Telemundo outlet for the Yuma / El Centro market; Telemundo programming was originally seen late-nights on CBS affiliate KSWT.
[edit] History
The station began with an original construction permit granted on October 24, 1997. The station was assigned the callsign K35EX and was owned by Estrella License Corporation. Gulf-California Broadcast Company acquired the station in October 2000, applied for a station license in November, and changed the station's callsign to KESE-LP in December. The FCC granted the station a license on February 2, 2001.
[edit] Digital television
In September 2006, KESE-LP was identified as a singleton applicant for a companion digital LPTV signal on UHF channel 40 [1]. A singleton applicant is one whose application for a construction permit has no competition from nearby applications on the same or adjacent channels. As a singleton applicant, the station is likely to be granted a construction permit. Currently, KESE-LP can be seen on KECY-TV digital subchannel 9.3 / 48.3.
