KBCP-TV

KBCP-TV, virtual channel 25 (digital channel 4) is a non-commercial religious independent television station licensed to Carrollton, Texas and serves the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It is the flagship property of RJH Media. The station's studios are located at RJH Media's campus in Carrollton, Texas with its transmitter located in Cedar Hill, Texas.

Origins
On July 23, 1978, KBCP-TV would sign on as the first religious station in Dallas. The station was founded by R.J. Hawkins (a Christian businessman; as well as relative of film director Sandra Hawkins). Hawkins' goal with the station was to provide Christians in the Dallas area with high-quality programming to educate and entertain them.

When the station launched, it was an affiliate of the christian oriented television network TBN. However, in a situation in which TBN doesn't provide programming, KBCP-TV would air a mix of classic shows, local religious programming, and cartoons. KBCP-TV would lose its affiliation with TBN after TBN O&O KDTX-TV, took over the local affiliation rights to the network.

Soon after KBCP-TV lost its TBN affiliation, it expand its emphasis on local religious programming and would pick up several syndicated shows as well starting in 1988.

Growth as a superstation
On October 5, 1986, the station would improve its broadcasting signal. Due to this improved signal, KBCP became available in many cable systems across the United States. A superstation feed of KBCP would be officially launched on January 19, 1989 with the intent of providing a better signal in areas where KBCP's regular reception was cloudy.

On July 5, 2007, KBCP's parent RJH Media would discontinue the station's super-station feed due to the unprofitability of owning superstations.

Sister service
In mid-1989, RJH Media would purchase American Christian Television, a liberal christian television network and changed the channel's name to KBCP Family Channel, the channel was now a commercial family-oriented network. The channel would split from its branding under KBCP, becoming Flex TV and switching to a general entertainment channel.
