History
KPBN started as K07UJ, a translator station for the Woody Jenkins-owned WBTR. The station soon changed to channel 11 and was known as WTVK in 1994, owned by Gulf Atlantic Communications. In 1995, WTVK served as Baton Rouge's first WB affiliate with a secondary affiliation with America One, yet the station failed to secure a spot on Baton Rouge's cable lineup and had a broadcast range of only six miles. Only cable systems at LSU, Clinton, Jackson, and Watson carried the station.[1]
By 1999, WBBR signed on as a cable-only station, taking the WB affiliation, and channel 11 changed its call letters to KTTE, serving as an independent station on March 31, 1999 that focused on local and sports programming.[2] At this time, KTTE secured a spot on TCI's cable lineup; however, the station struggled to stay on the air, as the owners faced eviction in August 2000.[3] After returning to the air for a brief period of time, the station signed off for good on December 27, 2000 after a conflict emerged between the station's owner, Dave Loflin of Gulf Atlantic, and station manager Upfront Partnership, owned by Tony Perkins and Bob Courtney. On January 12, 2002, KPBN signed on channel 11, carrying a sports-centered programming lineup with some America One programming. The station chose not to renew its America One affiliation once the network merged with YouToo TV.
Beginning in 2017, KPBN dropped its Untamed Sports TV affiliation & now only broadcast programming from The Pursuit Channel outside of Local Programming. In 2017, the station aiured Jimmy Swaggart's Sonlife TV network. Pelican Sports was added to KPBN's second subchannel, and Light TV was added to the fourth subchannel on January 1, 2018.
KPBN-HD is now available on Cox Communications channel 1013, they are also working on their digital signal located on UHF 14.
