KVVV-TV channel 16 was an Independent television station for the Houston area. KVVV was officially licensed to Galveston, Texas, but physically located at 1400 Lundy Lane in Friendswood, at FM 528, 4 miles north of Alvin.
KVVV signed on in February 1968, operating at 3.39 MW ERP visual.
Among the programs carried on KVVV were the locally-originated children's program "No-No the Clown" and stock market coverage during the day. KVVV also carried syndicated programming, as well as network shows not cleared by the local affiliates or Houston's other independent station, KHTV.
On days when there is no stock trading, the station was generally on the air only in the afternoons and evenings -- signing on between 2PM and 3PM, and signing off at 10PM.
KVVV lost so much money in its only year in operation, that the owners closed the station down on August 31, 1969.
As of October 2006, the building was still there, though it was vandalized and in poor condition.
Today, the KVVV call letters are now being used for a low-powered repeater of KAZH, the local Azteca America affiliate; KAZH themselves used the KVVV calls when they were affiliated with Value Vision. It should be made clear that 1968's KVVV and today's KVVV / KAZH have absolutely no relation with each other.
