KETH-TV, virtual channel 14 (UHF digital channel 24), is a TBN owned-and-operated television station licensed to Houston, Texas, United States. The station is owned by the locally based Community Educational Television subsidiary of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, which manages TBN-owned stations in Texas and Florida on channels allocated for non-commercial educational broadcasting, and serves as the subsidiary's flagship station. KETH's studios (and CET's general offices) are located on South Wilcrest Drive in the Alief section of Houston. The station's transmitter is located near Missouri City, in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County.

The station was founded on October 12, 1983, and first signed on the air on July 16, 1987.
