KATA-CA is a low-powered television station affiliated with MTV Tr3́s, owned and operated by Mako Communications. It broadcasts on Channel 50 and licensed to Mesquite, Texas. It affilation is available through its local cable providers as well as DirecTV and Dish Network.

The station began its broadcasting activities on Channel 60 as a repeater for former FamilyNet affiliate K46EV (now KJJM-LP) until it picked up a new affiliate with the former America's Voice network until that network's end in 2000. On October 3, 2005, KATA was made a "Class A Station" and moved its broadcasts to Channel 50 and switched affiliates to the English version of Almavision. After a few missteps the English network was dropped. In early 2006, KATA became a flagship station for the Mexico-based Multimedios Television network.

KATA went off the air briefly in late 2007. As of February 2008, however, it has returned to the airwaves as an MTV Tr3́s affiliate.
