It was sold again in 1966 to the Bunn family who changed the call letters to KWHY and together with Quotron, who then provided all brokerage houses with real time stock market information, launched the first business news service for television. Year 1966 ( MCMLXVI) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the 1966 Gregorian calendar.

The tickertape was delayed 15 minutes and airtime was given away to stock brokers while news readers "ripped and read" from the news wires. Although KWHY was not profitable, it was a staple in thousands of offices, restaurants, and homes each trading day. The programing switched to ethnic programming in the afternoon and evening hours, notably in Korean, Japanese and Chinese. This article is mainly about the spoken Korean language See Hangul for details on the native Korean writing system is a language spoken by over 130 million people in Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities Dick "Huggy Boy" Hugg, a local broadcast personality, hosted his own dance program, The Huggy Boy Show, which aired weekly on KWHY.

In 1978, KWHY-TV received the first subscription television license in the United States from the FCC and soon thereafter replaced much of the ethnic programming with the pay-TV service SelecTV. SelecTV was a subscription ( Pay TV) television service beginning operation in 1976 and ending in 1991 In 1982, the station was sold to Harriscope of Los Angeles.

KWHY-TV took the business news through a number of facelifts and distribution expansions. In the 80's as the cable TV reach expanded beyond Los Angeles and Quotron's technology became obsolete, the business news was reinvented. A complete graphic overhaul was done creating the first multi-element screen. This showed all of the stock and commodity indexes, two rows of stock ticker tapes and over-the-shoulder realtime pricing information. Meanwhile, an anchor read the news live. The service was renamed, "The Business Channel". At the same time, KWHY faced competition from KSCI, the local affiliate of the Financial News Network.

In 1989, FNN went off the air. In the meantime, as local stations received FCC protection with must-carry rules, the name changed to "22 Business News", and then "Business News 22" (or BN 22, for short). In Cable television, governments apply a must-carry regulation stating that locally-licensed television stations must be carried on a cable provider's system And finally, with the internet, it became "BizNews 1" and was streamed on the internet as "BizNews1. com. ", and broadcast over KJLA as KWHY went fulltime in Spanish. Sometime in 2001, KJLA cancelled the service. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar.

The growth of cable TV and HBO caused subscription TV to lose audience and SelecTV cut back its hours in 1984. SelecTV was a subscription ( Pay TV) television service beginning operation in 1976 and ending in 1991 Infomercials filled many hours, including one which featured live broadcasts from car dealerships. Infomercials (or informercials are Television commercials that run for one minute or for as long as a typical Television program In 1984 KWHY launched Video 22, a 3 hour, weekday afternoon rock video show which had the slogan "We cook for 3 hours before dinner. " The show used the first Macintosh computers to inventory the playlists. Macintosh, commonly nicknamed Mac is a Brand name which covers several lines of Personal computers designed developed and marketed by Apple Inc Video 22 was cancelled when SelecTV merged with competitor On-TV and expanded their hours. In 1989, SelecTV went out of business. KWHY sold its non-business news airtime to Univisa, a division of Televisa, who aired Galavision, the Spanish language cable TV service. Televisa is a Mexican multimedia company and is the largest media company in the Spanish -speaking world and a major player in the international entertainment In 1991, Televisa became part owner of Univision (KMEX) and KWHY became the first independent Spanish language TV station in the country.

In 2001, with the FCC allowing duopoly (ownership of two television stations in one TV market) Telemundo (which already owned its West Coast flagship, KVEA Channel 52) purchased KWHY and has kept it as a Spanish-language independent station.
