KMMC-LD, digital and virtual channel 40, is a low-power television station in the San Francisco Bay Area market licensed to San Francisco, California, United States. Its transmitter is located atop San Bruno Mountain.
History[edit]
A construction permit for KMMC-LP, analog channel 40, was granted by the FCC on June 30th, 2003.[1]. Owned by Caballero Television, the station began operation on September 15, 2004 as a Mas Musica owned-and-operated station, hence the call-letters[2]. On September 25, 2006, it switched to the new MTV Tr3́s network (now simply known as Tr3́s since July 2010), which was created as a result of Viacom's acquisition of Más Música[3].
On November 7, 2011, the station flash cut to Digital and became KMMC-LD but remained on its pre-digital channel, 40[4]
On December 4th, 2014, New York Spectrum Holding Company purchased KMMC-LD from Viacom[5]. Upon closure of the sale, the station dropped the Tr3́s affiliation and switched to a series of networks over the subsequent years including 3ABN Latino, Retro TV, and Rev'n. The station currently airs infomercials on its .1 subchannel and Kpop on its second subchannel.
Future[edit]
Because of the digital television repack, KMMC-LD's owner applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to move its digital broadcast channel to 14, a channel it will share with Daystar-owned-and-operated KDTS-LD. It will use PSIP to continue to display as virtual channel 40.
Digital channels[edit]
The stations' digital signals are multiplexed:
| Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming[6] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40.1 | 480i | 16:9 | KMMC-LD | Infomercials |
| 40.2 | Kpop |
