K31GL-D
K31GL-D is a low-power digital TV station in the Dallas / Fort Worth area, licensed to serve DeSoto, Texas, owned and operated by Mako Communications of Corpus Christi, Texas. It is not available on either Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, or Verizon FiOS at this time, and covers the Dallas/Fort Worth DMA.
This station initially began in 1980 (FCC file: BRTT-19800530IG) as K65BC of Mullins, Texas and was owned by Pompey Mountain Broadcasting, Incorporated of Corpus Christi, Texas. KUVN-CA of Fort Worth operated on channel 31 until 2001 when KUVN-CA changed to channel 47 clearing the way for other use of channel 31. On January 6, 2004 the call sign of K65BC changed to K31GL with the change from channel 65 in Mullins to channel 31 in De Soto. During the summer of 2006, the station picked up Almavision.
At one time in the late 80s a non-profit organization secured a construction permit for a full-power station on non commercial Channel 31 in Fort Worth that would have broadcast with the call KETE-TV. However, the organization never built the station and the CP was cancelled by the FCC.
In late 2006, Almavision programming ceased on the station and it started airing an all-infomercial format, much like KSEX-LP's current format.
When K31GL switched from analog to digital broadcasting in November, 2008, the Genesis network moved from KHPK-LP and KNAV-LP to K31GL, and KHPK-LP began broadcasting K31GL's former infomercial format. In December, subchannel 31.3 began an all-infomercial format.
On March 12, 2009, subchannel 31.3 began broadcasting TheCoolTV, a music video channel owned by Cool Music Network. 31.3 ceased transmitting TheCoolTV in September of 2009. www.thecooltv.com
On May 19, 2009, subchannel 31.4 began broadcasting AMGTV. On May 13, 2010, 31.4 switched to an affiliate of the Retro Television Network.
