Owned and operated by Crossroads Christian Communications, the station has studios on Calgary Trail Northwest and 52nd Avenue in Edmonton, and its transmitter is located in Sherwood Park.

Licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on June 8, 2007,[1] the station began broadcasting five months later on October 8, 2007, on UHF channel 30.

The rebranding coincided with the introduction of several secular programs into the schedule such as American Idol, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!.

[2] Yes TV airs programming intended for family viewing, mostly based on Christian values, including dramas, comedies, mini-series and reality, game, and talk shows; although Yes TV also features shows on political commentary and other religions, including Judaism, Islam and Sikhism.

It is governed by the CRTC's Religious Broadcast Regulations and follows a policy of not airing shows containing "coarse language, gratuitous violence or explicit sexual scenes."
