KTVS-LD is a low-power television station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, broadcasting locally in digital on UHF channel 36 as an religious broadcaster. Founded October 31, 1986, the station is owned by Alpha Omega Broadcasting.

KTVS 36.1 relays the programming from sister station KAZQ channel 32.1 which airs mostly religious programs and a couple of old shows. 36.2 airs Spanish-language religious programs from the Almavision network while 36.3 airs something called "Trine TV" which features some very old programs (likely public domain) and infomercials. This channel is not carried on local cable systems.

History

This station began broadcasting in 1988 as K59DB (often identified as KDB) on channel 59. It was the first Telemundo affiliate in the area. By 1997 KTEL-LP had picked up the Telemundo affiliation. KDB had continued as a Spanish-language independent airing mostly music videos and sports programs. By 1999, Continental Broadcasting had sold KDB along with one FM and two AM radio stations to Clear Channel Communications. The format continued until late 2000 when Clear Channel had shut down KDB. The station was later sold to Alpha-Omega Broadcasting. In 2002 K59DB went back on the air simulcasting programming from KAZQ-TV 32 and in 2003 it would move to channel 36 as KTVS-LP. By October it would begin airing programming separate from KAZQ. Originally the format featured old TV shows, movies and religious programs. Regional sports programming had also once aired on KTVS.

Digital TV

KTVS was viewed on KAZQ-DT subchannel 32.3 for a while. KTVS had "flash cut" to digital on channel 36 at 15kW in August 2009.
