KEYI-LD (channel 35) is a low-power Spanish-language independent television station in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. The station is owned by Mountain Ridge Holdings.

History

[edit]

On April 15, 1994, application JF0415CY was filed with the Federal Communications Commission. It was first granted a license to operate as K61GV channel 61 on April 15, 1996. On July 28, 1999, the station moved to its current frequency and changed its call-letters to K35FN, then changed callsigns to KYRK-LP on November 5 of that year. The station then changed its callsign to KVTE-LP on June 17, 2005, and KVTE-LD on July 12, 2018. On June 19, 2024, the station received its current callsign of KEYI-LD.

Robin Leach became affiliated with KVTE in late 2004, and by March 2005, had filed a lawsuit against owner Nathan Drage claiming, among other things, fraud against the corporation. Ultimately over a year later, in May 2006, Leach dismissed his lawsuit and claimed it was all a misunderstanding and that the allegations of fraud were the result of a miscommunication between Leach and his legal counsel.[2]

After Leach's departure the station produced a completely different show line-up of all original programming geared towards a national and international audience for what it called the Las Vegas Television Network. By June 1, 2010, however, the station was airing color bars and tone and had filed for a silent Special Temporary Authority with the Federal Communications Commission. It has been silent since.
