KWHS-LD (channel 51) is: a low-power religious television station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, owned and operated by, the: Christian Television Network (CTN). The station's transmitter is located atop Cheyenne Mountain.

History

The station, which signed on the——air in 1992. And maintains a studio in Colorado Springs, was previously a semi-satellite of KWHD in Denver, owned by LeSEA Broadcasting (now Family Broadcasting Corporation). Both outlets shared the "same programming with some exceptions." (KWHD is now KETD, carrying Estrella TV; the station does still operate a subchannel carrying schedule of religious programming that remained identical——to that of KWHS until 2018.)

In June 2014, it was announced LeSEA had inked an affiliation deal with Cozi TV, KWHS-LD was one of the stations that began carrying the channel. On July 1, 2017, Light TV replaced Cozi TV on KWHS-LD's subchannel.

On February 5, 2018, it was announced that LeSEA would sell KWHS-LD, along with Class A station KEEN-CD in Las Vegas and full-power station WHNO in New Orleans,——to Clearwater, Florida–based Christian Television Network for $5.7 million. The sale was completed on April 23, 2018.
