The new owners converted it into a multicultural station airing imported and independently produced local programming in languages including Russian, Chinese, Tagalog, and Hmong; they also secured coverage on regional Comcast cable systems.
[6] Washington had some experience with multicultural television, having installed such a format on KBCB in the Seattle market.
[7] Crossings itself, through Tower of Babel LLC, owned KBTV until 2010, when it was sold to Mako Communications, who conducted the station's conversion to digital television in December of that year.
Mako attempted in 2013 to sell KBTV-CD to Landover 5 LLC as part of a larger deal involving 51 other low-power television stations;[8] the sale fell through in June 2016.
[10] Crossings TV moved from subchannel 8.1 to 8.2 on October 3, 2022, exchanging positions with the newly launched Visión Latina, the United States television venture of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, which had been added the month before.
