It carries local and nationally known programming from noon through 6am daily and network programming from 6am until noon from TCT. Operations are supported by donations from loyal viewers.

In 2009, a severe thunderstorm late on the evening of July 11 seriously damaged the new 85-foot (26 m) radio tower at its new TV studio, which holds the microwave-band dish antenna for the studio/transmitter link. In use for less than two weeks, it was made necessary because of a move in the studio location further away from the TV transmitter site, making the cost of leasing a much longer fiber-optic line than before prohibitive.

K38HE went off the air couple of times after a transmitter tube broke in the transmitter and returned to the air on October 9, 2009. However, this was short-lived. On Monday night September 21, 2009, K38HE went off the air after a tube broke in the transmitter. This station has returned to the air on Monday night October 19, 2009. K38HE went off the air after a rebuilt tube broke in the transmitter. K38HE has replaced the transmitter with a new tube and returned to the air on October 23, 2009.
