After some thought, despite this being a station in Los Angeles, one of the biggest television markets in the US, I cannot see how this low-power station — a former TBN relay turned into another DTV America/HC2/Innovate operation — actually meets the GNG. It appears to have only ever really been a repeater of other networks or stations, with neither the adequate sourcing nor any sort of local content or coverage that would get it anywhere near actual notability; the article also tends to attract unsourced edits of dubious quality, another reason why our old overpresumption of "notability" (based on an essay, which seemed to have these all-diginet stations slip through the cracks pre-2021, rather than GNG) was a bit of an error in hindsight. (This is another station that was part of the failed bulk nomination of HC2/Innovate station articles that intermingled stations like this one with facilities that have slightly more substantial histories; the history here isn't quite as threadbare as some of the newer DTV America stations that went from application to license surrender in about a decade, but it isn't much better.)

Delete This is a strange one. This facility went on the air in 1979, as a note. The move to channel 33 in 1987 does have coverage in the Daily Press including a front-page story. But that's because it was displaced from channel 64 by KVVT and it tried to buy a channel from the translator system. But TBN translators have come to AfD before (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/K17ET), and there is no SIGCOV after that. GNG coverage just will not exist for this facility.
