The station is owned by [[HC2 Holdings]].<ref name=dtv>[https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=print_station&facility_id=184100 Digital TV Market Listing for KVAT-LD]</ref>

==History==
The license was initially established in 1978 as translator K63AY by Pompey Mountain Broadcasting in [[Mullin, Texas|Mullin]]. It was displaced to channel 17 as K17GH.

The station was originally an affiliate of [[LAT TV]], a [[Houston, Texas|Houston]]-based Spanish-language television network that launched in May 2006; however, the network folded 2 years later in 2008.

In December 2010, the station's call letters changed from KVAT-LP to '''KVAT-LD'''.

In June 2013, KVAT-LD was slated to be sold to Landover 5 LLC as part of a larger deal involving 51 other low-power television stations;<ref name=tvbr-saletolandover>{{cite news|last=Seyler|first=Dave|title=Anatomy of an LPTV deal extravaganza|url=http://rbr.com/anatomy-of-an-lptv-deal-extravaganza/|accessdate=July 3, 2013|newspaper=Television Business Report|date=June 24, 2013}}</ref> the sale fell through in June 2016.<ref name="fcc-nosaletolandover">{{cite web|title=Notification of Non-consummation|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1732255&Form_id=905&Facility_id=52930|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|accessdate=January 20, 2018|date=June 29, 2016}}</ref> Mako Communications sold its stations, including KVAT-LD, to HC2 Holdings in 2017.<ref name="fcc-saletohc2">{{cite web|title=APPLICATION FOR CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT OF BROADCAST STATION CONSTRUCTION PERMIT OR LICENSE|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1765834&Service=LD&Form_id=345&Facility_id=52930|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|accessdate=January 20, 2018|date=September 8, 2017}}</ref>
