KVYE, virtual channel 7 (UHF digital channel 22), is a Univision-affiliated television station located in El Centro, California, that also serves Yuma, Arizona. Owned by Entravision Communications (minority owned by Univision's parent, Univision Communications), the station is operated as part of a virtual duopoly with UniMás affiliate KAJB (channel 54), which is owned by Calipatria Broadcasting Company but operated by Entravision via a joint sales agreement. KYVE maintains transmitter facilities located atop Black Mountain, while KYVE and KAJB share studio facilities located on North Imperial Avenue in El Centro.
The Federal Communications Commission granted an original construction permit on August 3, 1989, to build a television station licensed in El Centro. Before its license grant, the permit was extended 4 times and modified 2 times. On March 23, 1994, the Federal Communications Commission cancelled the permit, but restored it five days later.
The station made its debut in June 1996, however the station maintained its construction permit status.
On March 15, 1998, Entravision Communications (which operated KVYE under a local marketing agreement) bought station's licensee La Paz Wireless Corporation for $700.000. Entravision obtained the initial license for the station on November 26, 1999.
On November 8, 2002, the Federal Communications Commission granted a permit to construct the station's digital facilities (requested in 1999). The station completed construction of its full-power digital facilities in June 2007, and was granted a license on January 29, 2010.
