History [ ]
The station began in 1988 as K56DP on channel 56, as a translator of KUBE-TV , then known as KLTJ. The call sign was changed to KHMV-LP on September 1, 1995.[2]
KHMV moved to channel 28 around 2000, and was moved to channel 40, to make space for its digital signal.
The station's call sign was changed to KHMV-CA on March 6, 2006.[2]

Due to Pappas Telecasting 's continuing financial problems, KHMV was taken off the air November 2, 2007,[3] and the station remained silent until after it was sold to Uniglobe Central America Network in March 2010. The new owners adopted the call sign KUGB-CA on April 2, 2010. Under Uniglobe's ownership, the station broadcast programming from Central America, notably El Salvador , Honduras , Costa Rica and Guatemala .
On January 4, 2011, the station was sold to Thomas Abraham.[4] The FCC approved that transaction on February 18, 2011.[5]
Citing a temporary loss of transmitter site, KUGB-CA temporarily went off the air April 25, 2011.[6]
Under Thomas Abraham's ownership, the station has begun broadcasting religious programming on multiple subchannels.
The station changed its call sign again on August 17, 2012, to the current KUGB-CD .
On November 27, 2012, Uniglobe Central American Network Inc. LLC sold KUGB-CD to OTA Broadcasting, LLC , a company controlled by Michael Dell 's MSD Capital , for $2,3 million in cash.[7] OTA Broadcasting assumed control of KUGB-CD on February 13, 2013.[8] In November 2017, the station was purchased by HC2 Holdings for $1.5 million.[9]
