It is owned and operated by the Ion Media subsidiary of the E. W. Scripps Company alongside Inglewood-licensed Bounce TV station KILM (channel 64).
[2] It originally operated as a Christian broadcast outreach of the Faith Center Church in Glendale, of which Reverend Raymond Schoch served as the pastor, with Paul Crouch (who would leave in 1972 in order to begin his own Trinity Broadcasting Network) as his assistant and general manager.
KHOF ran a mix of Schoch's own sermons, various televangelists and teaching programs, both local and syndicated.
The station began to have competition when their former GM Paul Crouch left in 1972 and acquired newly purchased KLXA-TV Channel 40 in 1974.
In 1992, the FCC shut down KAGL in order to allow new licensee Sandino Communications (an investor group whose name is shorthand for the city of license of San Bernardino) to construct a new transmitter for a planned television station under the KZKI call letters.
Sandino sold KZKI to Paxson Communications (the forerunner to Ion Media Networks) in 1995 for $18 million in cash and the assumption of debt.
KPXN's analog signal on UHF channel 30 was the last television station to transmit from Sunset Ridge in the Mount San Antonio range.
