Beech Street Communications Corporation was formed in 1987 to
establish a Christian television ministry in Texarkana. Board
members were selected from the church body and a separate
nonprofit corporation was founded in early 1988. Funding for the
initial equipment and the first year of operation was provided by
Beech Street First Baptist Church.
Acts of Texarkana went on Dimension Cable
channel 36 on June 1, 1988. Initial programming included the
regular Sunday and Wednesday worship services, and a live Sunday
School program began a few weeks later.
Community programming, most notably, "Positive
Alternatives" hosted my Mike Huckabee, and Texarkana
football began in August and September.
During the past few years some notable
changes have occurred. In 1990, construction on a low power
television station known as KBSC began. "We Have a Heart for
Texarkana" was the station's slogan.
Construction on the Beech Street
Communications Corporation production truck was completed in
September 1994. In October, 1994, we became a Family Net affiliate
and began airing programming from their digital satellite.
In January 1995, we were assigned our official FCC call letters,
KLFI, and our slogan became
"Sharing Life with Texarkana."
Our programming is currently seen on Texarkana cable channel 10
and Channel Vision cable
channel 36 in Miller County, Arkansas, and UHF channel 35,
Texarkana, AR/TX.
Our Programming has grown to include: "Heart to Heart'',
Texarkana sports, and worship services
of many other churches in the area. We also have several programs
featuring area pastors throughout the week. Other programming
includes City Council meetings, Kiwanis Auctions, High School
Coach's shows, parades, Arkansas Baptist State Convention,
graduation ceremonies, youth programs. We also produce videos and
commercials for local businesses and charitable organizations.
The volunteers are the heroes of this
work and God has blessed this ministry. If you would be interested
