==History==⏎
The station started out as a Spanish independent in 1997 as K62CY on channel 62. Shortly, the station was moved to channel 31 as K31FA. This signal was overlapping KUVN-LP (before it moved to channel 47) reception, so in 2001, the station moved its broadcasts to channel 57 as K57IG where it picked up the [[MTV Tr3s|Mas Musica]] affiliate passed over from [[K25FW]] and [[KLEG-LP]]. After 2 years, the station dropped Mas Musica and changed formats to English-language [[infomercial]]s as KSEX-LP.  In 2009 the station went silent.

On January 5, 2011, KSEX swapped callsigns with San Diego TV station KBOP.⏎
 and resumed broadcasting on channel 20 on January 14, 2011 with a sub-channel mixture of religious programming and infomercals.
