KFVE broadcasts from Kailua-Kona on the big island of Hawaii, with its signal being relayed via KHNL-DT6 (13.6) in Honolulu and KKAI-DT2 (50.2) in Kailua, both on Oahu.
KFVE was founded in 1988 as a repeater of KMGT 26, and was re-named KLEI on March 9, 1992 after being purchased by Gray Television, becoming a satellite of PAX station KPXO-TV, from 1998 to 2011. It would join The Family Channel from 2011 until 2017, when it was spun off as a stand-alone station.
KFVE has a satellite (KLEI) that it purchased from KWHE in 2018. That station was initially known as KWHM from 1991-2018, before being renamed KLEI (with the original KLEI becoming KFVE).
