History
KKPX signed on in 1986 as KLXV-TV (Roman numeral for 65) and was the local affiliate of the Trinity Broadcasting Network. In August 1997, the station's call letters were changed to KKPX after Paxson Communications (now Ion Media Networks) bought the station.
Newscasts
From 2000 until 2005, KKPX, along with many Pax stations (as the network was known at the time), signed an agreement with NBC and aired a re-broadcast of KNTV's newscasts at 7 PM and 11:30 PM. The newscasts were originally titled "NewsChannel 11 on Pax" when KNTV was affiliated with The WB; when KNTV joined NBC in January 2002, the newscasts changed first to "NBC 3 News on Pax", then to "NBC 11 News on Pax" several months later. Like most other such arrangements, the simulcasts were dropped on June 30, 2005.
Digital television
On June 12, 2009 KKPX ceased transmitting on channel 65 and is a digital only TV station on channel 41. The station's digital channel is multiplexed, carrying Ion TV, qubo and ION Life.
KKPX-TV also has plans for a Mobile DTV feed of subchannel 65.1.[1][2]
