History
KTLE-LP began as a construction permit granted to Telemundo on August 23, 1989 and was licensed as K60EE, UHF channel 60, on April 19, 1991. KTLD-LP began as a construction permit granted to Brooks Broadcasting Inc. on April 29, 1988. Brooks Broadcasting sold the permit to Ronald J. Gordon in March 1989, who in turn, sold the permit to Telemundo in October 1991. The station was licensed as K49CD, UHF channel 49, on August 14, 1992.
The stations' early days were marked by uncertainty, being transferred several times as Telemundo, their owner, endured financial hardship in the mid-1990s, and at one point went into bankruptcy. In May 2001, Telemundo sold the stations, along with Amarillo station K36DV (later KTMO-LP), to Lawton, Oklahoma-based Drewry Communications Group, who owned the NBC affiliate in the Midland-Odessa market. Both stations received new call letters in January 2002; K60EE became KTLE-LP, and K49CD became KTLD-LP. In April 2004, KTLE moved from channel 60 to channel 20, having been required to abandon their position in the high-700 MHz band (channels 60 - 69). KTLD's license was canceled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on March 12, 2014.

Ghetto Lullabye
by: ShontelleHush little shorty, don't you cry
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
So rest your head, let me ease your mind
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
Where shall I begin to teach you
What could take a lifetime to learn?
Nuff lies will be told, with each day
The truth will unfold
Picture if you can, a mountain so high
That you can't see the top
An ocean so wide
You can see where it meets the sky
Well, that's how far you're gonna have to go
Hold on tight shorty, don't let go
Those rains will fall and those winds will blow
Out in these streets can be so cold
Hush little shorty, don't you cry
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
So rest your head, let me ease your mind
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
I'm looking at you, a picture of innocence framed within trust
Each river you cross filled with the unknown not so treacherous
All envy and greed will rip you apart and leave you to bleed
And incessantly cut you down with no trace of mercy
Nuff back stabbers and informers
Hate and disease, so let me warn ya
Sharks in the ocean will raise their teeth
Let's all run fast when you see
Hush little shorty, don't you cry
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
So rest your head, let me ease your mind
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
Ooh, dry your eyes, don't you cry, not tonight
If you just try you will find your sunrise
Hush little shorty, don't you cry
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
So rest your head, let me ease your mind
