KVHP
KVHP is a television station in Lake Charles, Louisiana, broadcasting locally on digital channel 30 as an affiliate of the Fox network. KVHP is owned by the Brechner Management Company and operated by National Communications, LLC, and its transmitter is located halfway between Lake Charles and Beaumont, Texas in Vinton, Louisiana, allowing it to reach both markets.
In 2003, KVHP established a special low-powered Fox / UPN station for the Beaumont area, KUIL-LP on channel 64 (that station has since became independent, with Fox now on KBTV-TV). KVHP also has another Texas-based repeater, KVHP-LP channel 66 in Jasper.
KVHP is transmitting 720p HD w/ 5.1 audio on 29.1 and their CW SD signal on 29.2. This signal was transmitted via their low power transmitter from the tower located next to the studio on Prien Lake Road in Lake Charles. The full power digital signal was moved to the 1300 ft (396m) tower near Edgerly around the beginning of 2009. KVHP signed on the air in 1983 as an independent station. In 1986, KVHP became a Fox affiliate.

KVHP briefly aired news capsules and newscasts in the late 80's and early 90's before dropping them for a number of years. The station began airing local news once again in 1999, and expanded to producing a 2-hour morning show and 5 PM newscast within a year of the launch. KVHP was never considered a serious threat to KPLC's dominance in the ratings and by 2004, local news was dropped from the lineup entirely.
Today, the station's only local programming is a 30-minute Public affairs program called "On The Air with Fox 29" which airs twice on Sundays.
WBRZ's newscasts on Fox 29
On Monday, April 27, 2009, KVHP began showing a tape-delayed 6 p.m. weeknight newscast from Baton Rouge station WBRZ-TV, under the name Fox 29 News from the Capital, Monday through Friday at 9 p.m.
