{{expand section|the station's history since 2008|date=May 2025}}

The station began with an original construction permit for K69FM (channel 69), granted to Broadcasting Systems of Phoenix on August 19, 1988. The station was licensed on January 11, 1990, with city of license of South Phoenix. Early programming is unknown. In February 1991, the station was sold to Polar Broadcasting of Arizona, a San Francisco–based company, who shortly thereafter applied to move the station to channel 67 and change the city of license to Phoenix. The station licensed its new facilities and its callsign was changed to K67FE in December 1992.

In June 1996, the station was sold to Paxson Communications (now Ion Media Networks) and became part of the Infomall TV Network, or inTV. Paxson sold the station in August 1999 to Spanish Independent Broadcasting Network, who changed the programming to a simulcast of KWHY-TV (channel 22), a Spanish-language independent station in Los Angeles. The next year, needing to vacate the upper-700 MHz band (channels 60–69), the station applied for and was granted a permit to move to channel 53. The station was licensed in June 2002 as K53GF. Sometime later,{{when?|date=May 2025}} it dropped the KWHY-TV rebroadcast and became an independent station, airing mostly movies and infomercials for local car dealerships.

In May 2005, K53GF received a request to vacate channel 53 from Aloha Partners, who were winners of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auction for the spectrum now occupied by channel 54.{{cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getattachment_exh.cgi?exhibit_id=324822 |title=Displacement Application Technical Exhibit |publisher=FCC CDBS database |date=July 11, 2005 |access-date=March 4, 2007 }}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} However, with the DTV conversion still in process, there were no suitable in-core channels to which K53GF could move their analog operations. Instead, they requested to operate as a low-power digital TV station on channel 38 and the FCC granted a construction permit in October 2005 to build low-power DTV station K38IZ-D. In the meantime, Aloha Partners had not launched its proposed service to Public Safety,{{cite web |url=http://www.wirelessindustrynews.org/news-oct-2005/0270-101405-win-news.html |title=Aloha demos Lucent technology |work=Wireless Industry News |date=October 14, 2005 |access-date=April 10, 2015}} and K53GF remained on the air on analog channel 53 until May 2010. Aloha Partners and its channel 54/59 spectrum were acquired on February 4, 2008, by AT&T Mobility.{{cite web |url=http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-08-26A1.pdf |title=Memorandum Opinion and Order |publisher=FCC CDBS database |date=February 4, 2008 |access-date=April 10, 2015 |archive-date=October 18, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111018012928/http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-08-26A1.pdf |url-status=dead }}

On October 27, 2008, the station filed for special temporary authorization (STA) to continue broadcasting the analog signal until 2009.{{cite web |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25&appn=101262133&formid=911&fac_num=52892 |title=Engineering STA |publisher=FCC CDBS database |date=October 23, 2008 |access-date=October 30, 2008}} The station began digital operation under program test authority on October 30, 2008.
