KHMV moved to channel 28 around 2000.

The station's call sign was changed to KHMV-CA on March 6, 2006.[1]

Due to Pappas Telecasting's continuing financial problems, KHMV was taken off the air November 2, 2007,[2] and the station remained silent until after it was sold to Uniglobe Central America Network in March 2010. The new owners adopted the call sign KUGB-CA on April 2, 2010. Under Uniglobe's ownership, the station broadcast programming from Central America, notably El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Guatemala.

On January 4, 2011, the station was sold to Thomas Abraham.[3] The FCC approved that transaction on February 18, 2011.[4]

Citing a temporary loss of transmitter site, KUGB-CA temporarily went off the air April 25, 2011.[5]

Under Thomas Abraham's ownership, the station has begun broadcasting religious programming on multiple subchannels.

The station changed its call sign again on August 17, 2012, to the current KUGB-CD.

On November 27, 2012 Uniglobe Central American Network Inc. LLC. has sold KUGB-CD Houston to OTA Broadcasting LLC. for $2,3 million in cash.[6]

OTA Broadcasting assumed control of KUGB-CD on February 13, 2013.[7]
