History

The original construction permit for low-power television station K58DV was granted to Atrium Broadcasting Company on August 21, 1990, with the transmitter to be located on South Mountain in Phoenix. The FCC granted the license on September 29, 1992. Originally, K58DV aired programming from The Box, a music video channel based in the UK. In February 1996, the station took the call letters KPHZ-LP.
In 2000, the station changed its programming to America's Collectibles Network, or ACN. In September 2002, Venture Technologies Group sold KPHZ-LP to NBC Telemundo, along with stations KPHZ and KPSW-CA. In June 2006, as part of the Telemundo/Daystar license swap, NBC Telemundo sold KPHZ-LP to Daystar, along with station KDRX-CA. In August 2006, Daystar changed the station's call letters to KDTP-LP.
