KRET-CD

KRET-CD (channel 45) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to Cathedral City, California, United States, serving the Palm Springs area as an affiliate of the home shopping network ShopHQ.

The FCC granted an original construction permit to Charles R. Meeker on January 24, 1996, to build a low-power television station on UHF channel 45 to serve Cathedral City and Palm Springs, California.

[5] In 2008, the call letters for the station were changed to KRET-CA; that May, it added Retro Television Network.

From late July to late September 2013, due to a retransmission consent dispute between Time Warner Cable and Journal Broadcast Group's NBC affiliate KMIR-TV, that station subcontracted with KRET-CA to carry their evening newscasts during the dispute due to KRET's channel 14 position on TWC systems.

[7] The station was issued its license for digital operation on October 8, 2014, and simultaneously changed its call sign to KRET-CD.
