History

The station began as K19DH with an original construction permit granted to Communications Programming Agency, Inc., on March 4, 1997, but shortly thereafter, was sold to Desert Broadcasting, Inc., who completed construction and brought the station on air in late 1998. It was licensed by the FCC on January 25, 1999. Desert Broadcasting was sold to Methuselah Media, Inc., on April 16, 1999, then to a group headed by Fred Donaldson on May 1, 2001, and was renamed Desert Springs, Inc., in 2005. The station was a FamilyNet affiliate and its main studio facilities were located at a church. On March 31, 2008, SMG Media Group acquired the station and changed its call sign to KLPS-LP. Shortly thereafter, the new owners took the station silent so that they could relocate the main studio and transmitter. [1] The station was run and operated digitally online (IPTV) by PNN Media Group out of Palm Springs, California. In January 2019, Pharmative, LLC purchased PNN Media group. Pharmative, LLC provides healthcare education and information on a social media platform. Dr. James Partyka, Oncology Research Scientist and Clinical Pharmacist is the owner of Pharmative, LLC along with co-owner Jimmy Mann located in Palm Springs, California.

KLPS-LP's license was cancelled by the FCC on March 19, 2015, for failure to file a license renewal application. However, since 2008, KLPS-19 currently operates as an IP Streaming Radio / TV Station owned by PHARMATIVE PNN Media Group located in Palm Springs, California.
