[edit] History
KDFX-CA went on the air in 1990, originally a simulcast of KECY-TV a CBS affiliate from El Centro, Ca. Became KDBA-TV 40 on Nov. 1, 1992, but switched to full-time FOX programming in the 1994/95 season.
In the interim, Fox programming came via cable through Los Angeles' KTTV. When KDFX-CA went on the air, the Coachella Valley area cable companies displaced KTTV (at KTTV's request), and KDFX-CA adopted the "Fox 11" moniker.
