History
The construction permit for the station, originally assigned the call letters K27kJ-D, was issued by the Federal Communications Commission on February 25, 2010. The station signed on in 2015 as the Tyler area’s new Estrella TV affiliated television station, with Azteca America carried on a second subchannel.[3][4] NBC affiliate KETK-TV previously carried Estrella TV on its second subchannel from 2011 until KDKJ-LD's sign-on.
In December 2015, KDKJ-LD3 switched from DrTV to Sony Pictures Television's GetTV movie network, and KDKJ-LD4 was launched to carry FremantleMedia's Buzzr network. As of April 2016, Buzzr has moved to 33.1.
