History
editThe station was formerly owned by Cornhusker Television and rebroadcast the Home Shopping Network on channel 65 before going dark in 2006. In 2007, the station returned to the air for a short period on channel 48, with an analog signal displaying a test pattern with the call sign and channel number. After a few months, the station again went dark.
In May 2009, the sale of the station to Word of God Fellowship, which runs the Daystar Television Network, was announced. The sale was completed on October 9, 2009.
A construction permit for digital broadcasting on channel 47 was allowed to expire on July 12, 2010. During this time, the analog signal also remained off the air. In September 2011, Word of God Fellowship filed a new application with the FCC to flash-cut to digital broadcasting on channel 48. This application was approved on October 6, 2011.[2] KOHA-LP returned to the air, transmitting Daystar programming over an analog signal, in November 2011. On July 9, 2012, KOHA-LP began broadcasting a digital signal.[3]
On August 2, 2012, the station changed its call sign to KOHA-LD. As of Spring 2018, the station is owned by Flood Communications and operates as a Telemundo affiliate as Telemundo Nebraska. It is the first Spanish language television affiliate in Omaha since former Azteca América affiliated KAZO-LP (2002–2007) and KXVO-DT2 (2008–2014).
KOHA-LD carries News Channel Nebraska on its second subchannel, and as of August 4, 2018, Daystar on its third subchannel.
In June 2024, the station completed a move from UHF channel 27 to UHF channel 30. The channel change was necessary due to Nebraska Public Media transmitter KUON-TV moving from channel 12 to 27.[4]
