KEEF-TV

KEEF-TV is an own-and-operated affiliate of the DuMont Television Network serving Los Angeles, CA and the greater Orange County area. Broadcasting on channel 68, KEEF signed on in 1960 by the DuMont network shortly before the network started to turn things around. (The previous DuMont affiliate left the network and became an independent) KEEF's ratings hit its stride by 1970, and remained one of the top 4 stations in Los Angeles. In 2015, when the Prime-DuMont merger was announced, KEEF was prepared to lose the affiliation of DuMont to Prime O&O KNXT (channel 13) and become an independent, but DuMont instead chose to stick with KEEF. KNXT was then sold to Field Communications, who in turn chose to make it an independent on Oct. 1.
