KILM
(channel 64) is a
television station
licensed to
Inglewood, California
, United States, broadcasting the
Scripps News
network to the
Los Angeles
area. It is
owned and operated
by the
Ion Media
subsidiary of the
E. W. Scripps Company
alongside
San Bernardino
?licensed
Ion Television
station
KPXN-TV
(channel 30). KILM and KPXN-TV share offices on West Olive Avenue in
Burbank
; Through a
channel sharing
agreement, the two stations transmit using KPXN-TV's spectrum from an antenna atop
Mount Wilson
.
History
[
edit
]
KILM began broadcasting on August 15, 1987, as KVVT, originally licensed to
Barstow
. It was the only independent commercial television station in the
Mojave Desert
region to provide local news programs. In 1989, the station switched to
ABC
as a result of the Mojave Desert at the time not receiving a good signal from
KABC-TV
(channel 7) in Los Angeles. It became KHIZ in 1992; that same year, KABC boosted its signal to the Mojave Desert, causing channel 64 to disaffiliate with ABC. (A similar situation occurred in
Cleveland
and
Akron, Ohio
, where
WEWS-TV
(channel 5) and then-ABC affiliate WAKR/WAKC (channel 23, now
WVPX-TV
) both aired ABC programming until 1996). In the mid-2000s, the station changed its format and service area to be transmitted in both the
Los Angeles metropolitan area
and the
Inland Empire
region.
Multicultural Broadcasting
purchased Sunbelt Television, Inc. in 2007.
[4]
KHIZ eventually incorporated ethnic programming into its schedule.
At one time, KHIZ aired a weekday morning news program,
Inland Empire Live
, that was produced from the facilities of
CBS
affiliate
WSEE-TV
(channel 35) in
Erie, Pennsylvania
, and distributed to KHIZ via satellite transmission.
[5]
FilmOn
took over the station's operations under an
LMA
on September 1, 2012, at which point it became KILM.
[6]
On November 25, 2013, FilmOn TV was removed and replaced with
paid programming
. On July 12, 2014, KILM dropped the all-paid programming lineup and replaced it with programming from the
SonLife Broadcasting Network
, a
religious network
owned by
televangelist
Jimmy Swaggart
. On August 1, 2017, another LMA was made with a new network, Punch TV, which mainly consisted of
public domain
and
brokered programming
.
[7]
On June 1, 2018, KILM began channel sharing with
Ion Television
owned-and-operated station
KPXN-TV
(channel 30). As KPXN's
broadcast radius
does not adequately cover Barstow, KILM changed its city of license to Inglewood.
[2]
Several weeks later,
Ion Media Networks
agreed to a $10 million purchase of the station, continuing a nationwide pattern of Ion buying out their channel sharing partners to retain full control of their spectrum.
[8]
[9]
Multicultural terminated the Punch TV LMA at the start of August 2018, and began to carry a full schedule of
paid programming
from Corner Store TV while the sales process with Ion continued. The sale was completed on September 17, 2018, with Ion immediately converting the station to taking over the former channel space of KPXN-DT3 and its
Ion Plus
feed under KILM's 64.1 virtual channel, which allows Ion to utilize KILM's
must-carry
status for full-market coverage of Ion Plus.
[10]
On February 28, 2021, the station became an affiliate of
Grit
after Ion Plus was shut down.
[11]
On June 28, 2021, the station switched its affiliation to
Bounce TV
after the launch of
TrueReal
and
Defy TV
on KPXN's third and fourth subchannels.
On May 5, 2024, KILM switched from Bounce to sister network
Scripps News
, with Bounce moving to sister station KPXN-DT5.
Technical information
[

Analog-to-digital conversion
[
edit
]
KHIZ shut down its analog signal, over
UHF
channel 64, on February 17, 2009, the original target date on which full-power television stations in the United States were to
transition from analog to digital broadcasts
under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 44,
[13]
using
virtual channel
64.
Former translator
[
edit
]
On May 6, 2009, KHIZ added a
low-power
analog
translator
K39GY channel 39 (now KHIZ-LD, channel 2), a former
TBN
translator in
Victorville
. It was sold in 2015 to
DTV America
.
