Licensing authority
Public license information
KBNK-LD (channel 39) is a low-power television station in Fresno, California, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language religious network Canal de la Fe. It is owned by Cocola Broadcasting. Until late 2007, the then-KJEO-LP was also seen on KBID-LP channel 31.
History
The station was first established in 1998 as K32EQ, and then KMCF-LP.
In 2000, Cocola Broadcasting acquired the call sign KJEO-LP for channel 32, after Fresno's CBS affiliate discarded the call sign in favor of KGPE. This call sign was changed to KJEO-LD in September 2009.
On March 30, 2023, Bridge Media Networks, the parent company of NewsNet and Sports News Highlights (SNH) (backed by 5-hour Energy creator Manoj Bhargava), announced it would acquire KJEO-LD and six other Cocola stations for $3.2 million.[3] Upon completion of the transaction, KJEO-LD would become a NewsNet owned-and-operated station for the Fresno–Visalia media market.
On July 20, 2023, the station changed its call sign to KBNK-LD.
Technical information
Subchannels
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
| Channel | Res. | Aspect | Short name | Programming |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 39.1 | 720p | 16:9 | UniChur | Main KBNK-LD programming / Canal de la Fe |
| 39.3 | 480i | 4:3 | CBN | CBN News |
- KBNK-LD broadcasts from the Corlew Meadows ("Meadow Lakes") towers location near Auberry, CA (37.073838 -119.432075).
- Older, Fresno-area-based terrestrial tuners may/may not receive the Channel 39 broadcast(s). Sensitive terrestrial tuners may reduce tropospheric propagation effects through lowering floor noise, and inadvertently mask one lower-power channel set (i.e. KBNK-LD) and enhance another (i.e. KSDI-LD).
