It is owned and operated by the Daystar Television Network through its Community Television Educators subsidiary, and maintains offices on West 64th Avenue in Arvada, and its transmitter is located on Mount Lindo in rural southwestern Jefferson County.

History

The station first signed on the air on August 21, 1988, as KWBI-TV. Founded by Colorado Christian College (renamed Colorado Christian University the next year[1]), it originally operated as a religious independent station using programming from FamilyNet and the Christian Television Network, with some family-friendly secular programs.[2] In 1993, Colorado Christian University sold the station to Faith Bible Chapel International, a church based in Arvada;[3] the station changed its call sign to KRMT on January 10, 1994. Faith Bible Chapel sold KRMT to Daystar in 1997.
