History
K52DJ launched in 1989 as a translator of Fresno's Univision station KFTV. It was renamed KSUV-LP and moved to channel 39 in 1998 after Univision purchased UPN affiliate KUZZ-TV from Buck Owens. It was renamed to KBTF-LP in 2002 during the launch of TeleFutura. It was renamed to KABE-LP in 2004 after a callsign swap with the original KABE-CA. In 2013, the station obtained Class A status. In 2019, KABE started airing Court TV on its second digital subchannel as part of an agreement between Scripps and Univision for areas where KERO-TV's signal is not easily received.Digital television
