KSTV-LD (channel 32) is a low-power television station in Sacramento, California, United States owned by Lazer Broadcasting, the company's sole television station. Currently, the station is dark as it searches for a new transmission site and network affiliation.
History[edit]
![[icon]](/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (October 2015) |
On July 1, 2007, KSTV dropped its simulcast of KSAO-LP (affiliated with Jewelry Television at the time) and became an affiliate of the Spanish-language network Azteca América.[1] KSTV replaces former Azteca América affiliate KTNC-TV, which switched to the TuVision network on that date. In addition, a sale of KSTV to Bustos Media by its original owner, Cocola Broadcasting, was completed on September 13, 2007.[2] In September 2010, Bustos transferred most of its licenses to Adelante Media Group as part of a settlement with its lenders.[3]
On October 21, 2014, Adelante announced that it would be selling KSTV and its sister radio stations in Sacramento and Modesto to Lazer Broadcasting.[4] The sale was completed on December 31, 2014, and became the first television station to be owned by Lazer.
On November 30, 2016, former MundoMax affiliate KSAO-LD (channel 49) became the primary affiliate of Azteca América for the Sacramento area after MundoMax ceased operations. KSTV then broadcast a frozen image of a TV program that aired on Azteca for a few months before finally signing off the air in early 2017.
In December 2017, KSTV signed on the air again as a Jewelry Television affiliate for the second time. In 2019, KSTV shut down its analog signal and converted to a digital signal, remaining on its analog-era channel number 32. At the same time, KSTV affiliated with the bilingual Spanish/English-language network LATV on a new subchannel 32.2. In July of that year, Jewelry Television and LATV swapped channel positions, making LATV the primary affiliate on KSTV's main channel.
In January 2024, KSTV-LD suspended operations upon the end of its affiliation agreements with LATV and JTV, along with working on real estate issues involving its current transmitter site, possibly including a relocation to a new site.[5]
