KBNK-LD (channel 39) is a low-power television station in Fresno, California, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language religious network Canal de la Fe. It is owned by Cocola Broadcasting. Until late 2007, the then-KJEO-LP was also seen on KBID-LP channel 31.
The station was first established in 1998 as K32EQ, and then KMCF-LP.
In 2000, Cocola Broadcasting acquired the call sign KJEO-LP for channel 32, after Fresno's CBS affiliate discarded the call sign in favor of KGPE. This call sign was changed to KJEO-LD in September 2009.
On March 30, 2023, Bridge Media Networks, the parent company of NewsNet and Sports News Highlights (SNH) (backed by 5-hour Energy creator Manoj Bhargava), announced it would acquire KJEO-LD and six other Cocola stations for $3.2 million.[2] Upon completion of the transaction, KJEO-LD would become a NewsNet owned-and-operated station for the Fresno–Visalia media market.
On July 20, 2023, the station changed its call sign to KBNK-LD.
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
