KVYE ("Univisión 7") is a full-service television station in El Centro, California, broadcasting locally in analog on VHF channel 7 and in digital on UHF channel 22. It is owned by Entravision and serves as the Univision affiliate for the Imperial Valley and the lower Colorado River valley, including Yuma, Arizona.

History

The station began as a construction permit, granted on August 3 1989 to La Paz Wireless, and was given the call sign KLXO in 1991. La Paz had difficulty getting the station to air, allowing the construction permit to expire several times. In March 1994, the FCC dismissed the permit, but restored it five days later.
