History

The station began broadcasting in 1990 from One Shell Plaza on channel 33 under the call sign K33DB as a low-power translator for Conroe-licensed KTFH (channel 49, renamed KPXB-TV in 1998), in order to improve KTFH's analog coverage in Houston since its full-power analog transmitter site was located in the far northern suburbs of Houston. The transmitter was moved to the Missouri City tower farm in 1992. The call sign was changed to KBPX-LP on April 25, 2001.

The translator was shut down on June 30, 2009, two weeks after the digital transition, due to loss of access to the tower site. [2] Ion Media applied to move KBPX-LP to channel 46, [3] but since the full-power KPXB-TV now broadcasts from Missouri City (which was KBPX's former transmitter location), it was unclear what purpose the translator would serve. KBPX-LD resumed operations November 22, 2010, on digital channel 46, [4] carrying The Country Network. [5]

In late 2016, on a digital subchannel, the station launched a diginet called "The New DuMont Television Network" (or "The NuDu", for short), claiming it to be descended from the original DuMont Television Network. [6] Upon the outlet's launch, it began carrying various programming.

On December 21, 2017, Ion agreed to donate KBPX-LD to the Word Broadcasting Network; [7] the donation was completed on February 16, 2018. [8]
