KLTJ


KLTJ, virtual channel 22, is a Daystar owned-and-operated television station serving Houston, Texas, United States that is licensed to Galveston. The station is owned by Word of God Fellowship, a subsidiary of the Daystar Television Network. KLTJ's transmitter is located near Missouri City, in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County. It is operated separately from low-power sister station KDHU-LD in Houston.

History

The station was originally licensed to Galveston Educational TV, Inc. under the call sign KUYA; it is unknown whether the station ever went on the air under those call letters.
On July 20, 1989, Eldred Thomas moved the KLTJ religious programming inventory and call sign from channel 57 to channel 22 to take advantage of an improved coverage area.
Before moving the call letters to Houston, Thomas owned KLTJ in Dallas from 1983 to 1987; it was a sister station to radio outlet KVTT-FM, which Thomas also owned.

Analog-to-digital conversion

KLTJ discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 22, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 23, using PSIP to display KLTJ's virtual channel as 22 on digital television receivers.
