On May 30, 2007, KIMG-LP (then on channel 23) switched affiliations to LAT TV, as part of a new deal between LAT TV and Equity Media Holdings, who owned KIMG at the time [1]. LAT TV was a Houston-based Spanish-language television network that launched in May 2006 and ceased operation two years later.

KIMG-LP switched affiliations from LAT TV to Retro Jams; it is unknown when the switch took place.

KIMG-LP signed off on March 9, 2009, in the wake of Equity's bankruptcy.[2] After failing to find a buyer at a bankruptcy auction,[3] the station was sold to Ronald Ulloa on October 30, 2009.[4] The station had previously been included in Silver Point Finance's June 2 acquisition of other Equity stations,[5] but that application was dismissed August 11, 2009.[6]

On January 24, 2011, the station's license was cancelled by the FCC.[7] However, as of November 2011, the station's license is still active, as KIMG-LD.
