The station is [[owned and operated]] by [[Weigel Broadcasting]], and transmits from the Mount Harvard Radio Site in the [[San Gabriel Mountains]]. Due to its low-power status, KSFV-CD's broadcasting radius does not reach all of Greater Los Angeles. Therefore, it must rely on [[cable television|cable]] and [[satellite television|satellite]] carriage to reach the entire [[media market|market]]. ==History== The low-power station was founded in 1989 as [[broadcast translator|translator]] K24CM on channel 24, before changing from a translator to an LPTV as KSFV-LP in 1995, moving to channel 26 in 2001. On April 30 of that year, the station debuted Spanish-language programming targeted towards [[Central America]]n immigrants. Sometime after that, the station moved to channel 6 to make room for [[KVCR-DT]] in [[San Bernardino]], which had signed on its digital signal on channel 26. Because of this move, the station began marketing itself as an FM radio station (carrying a Spanish Religious service known as Guadalupe Radio), since the audio of analog TV channel 6 can be heard at the bottom of the [[FM radio]] dial at 87.75 [[MHz]]. The station received Class A status in 2009, as KSFV-CA. On March 9, 2009, Venture Technologies announced that it had signed a leasing agreement with Mega Media Group to launch a [[Dance radio|Dance]] format on KSFV, thus ending the Spanish Religious format on the signal. Programming was to have begun on June 1, 2009, and it would have been patterned after Mega Media's [[New York City]] outlet [[WNYZ-LP]] and likewise, carry the "[[Pulse 87]]" brand.<ref>[http://megamediagroup.ir.stockpr.com/news/detail/161 Press release from Mega Media Group (March 9, 2009)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726032712/http://megamediagroup.ir.stockpr.com/news/detail/161 |date=July 26, 2009 }}</ref> However, Venture Technologies has notified Radio World that it would not take Mega Media's offer and Mega Media ceased operations in October 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.radioworld.com/article/80378|title=Radio Technology &#124; Radio Industry news}}</ref> After converting KSFV to digital, Venture Technologies maintained the channel 6 analog service by acquiring [[KZNO-LP]] in Big Bear Lake and moving Guadalupe Radio to the latter.
