History
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. 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. In September 2010, Bustos transferred most of its licenses to Adelante Media Group as part of a settlement with its lenders.
On October 21, 2014, Adelante announced that it would be selling KSTV and its sister radio stations in Sacramento and Modesto to Lazer Broadcasting. The sale was completed on December 31, 2014.
On November 30, 2016, former MundoMax affiliate KSAO-LD (channel 49) became the primary affiliate of Azteca 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.
