History

The station was put on air on February 16, 1990 (by Telemundo, then under separate ownership), as a translator of KSTS in San Francisco.[2][3][4][5] The translator briefly had a local operation in Salinas, including a news bureau, which was closed in a cost-cutting move in 1992.[6]

On February 8, 2010, the station went dark for technical reasons.[7] The station returned to the air on March 11, 2010. On March 10, 2011, the license was canceled by mistake of the FCC.[8] On April 8, NBC filed an Engineering STA and a Petition for Reconsideration to restore the station.[9][10] The STA was granted on April 18, 2011.[11] On May 8, the Petition for Reconsideration was granted and the license was reinstated.[12]

On December 3, 2013, the FCC approved a request by NBCUniversal to convert the analog low-power station to digital, as a translator of KMUV-LP, the local Telemundo affiliate owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company.[13]

In 2014, the station became a primary affiliate of Cozi TV, listed in FCC records as a translator of NBC owned-and-operated KNTV, which airs Cozi TV on a subchannel.[14]

In October 2019, K15CU-D added TeleXitos as a second digital subchannel.
