KTBN-TV, channel 40, is the Santa Ana, California-licensed flagship television station of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, a Christian religious broadcaster. The station is based in the TBN network headquarters in nearby Tustin.

Channel 40 first aired on January 5, 1967 as KLXA-TV, licensed to Fontana, and one of the Los Angeles area's first Spanish-language stations. Paul Crouch, founder of TBN, took over operations of the station in 1973 and purchased the station outright in 1974. Trinity Broadcasting continued to use the KLXA call sign until November 1977, when the station officially became KTBN-TV. It's city of license changed to Santa Ana in 1983.

Today, it serves the entire Los Angeles metropolitan area with a full powered signal, with low-powered satellite stations carrying the signal to other areas in Southern California (such as Palm Springs (K40ID), Bakersfield (K21FP), Ventura (K45DU), and Santa Barbara (K15DB)). With the station being available on cable systems throughout Southern California, KTBN is not carried on either Dish Network nor DirecTV's Locals package at TBN's request; instead the national feed is carried, as both the network and KTBN carry the same programming schedule except for Southern California-specific public affairs programs.

[edit] Digital services

This station's digital signal, like most other TBN-owned stations, carries five different TBN-run networks:

Channel	Programming
40.1	The local TBN channel (simulcasting the analog station)
40.2	The Church Channel
40.3	JCTV
40.4	Enlace USA
40.5	Smile of a Child

The digital signal, which went on the air in 2004, is broadcast on channel 23, making reception difficult in some areas, due to interference from the digital signals of both KVMD Twentynine Palms and XETV-TV Tijuana/San Diego. KTBN has a pending request with the FCC to change its digital allotment to channel 33, which would displace KJLA's low-power analog translator KSMV-LP.
