KRLB-LD (channel 29) is a low-power religious television station in Richland, Washington, United States, affiliated with the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Owned by Radiant Light Broadcasting, the station is relayed full-time on KWWO-LD in Walla Walla, Washington, with both stations identifying with virtual channel 29.

This station is not related to WRLM in Canton, Ohio, whose licensee name is the similar Radiant Life Ministries.

History

Radiant Light Broadcasting began broadcasting as K66BW, a translator for the national Trinity Broadcasting Network, in January 1985. In July 1989, it moved to channel 49 and became K49CN, branded "KRLB".[3][1] KRLB was later added to the cable system in the Tri-Cities and even reinstated after viewer outcry followed its removal in 1996.[4] In 2001, the transmitter at Badger Mountain suffered vandalism, leaving the station temporarily unable to present local programming.[5]

As of March 17, 2009, KRLB broadcasts only in digital.
