In addition to its own digital signal, KABE-CD is simulcast in high definition on the second digital subchannel of KUVI (virtual and UHF channel 45.2) from a separate transmitter atop Mount Adelaide.

History

K52DJ launched in 1989 as a translator of Fresno's Univision station KFTV. It was renamed KSUV-LP and moved to channel 39 in 1998 after Univision purchased UPN affiliate KUZZ-TV (now KUVI-DT) from Buck Owens. It was renamed to KBTF-LP in 2002 during the launch of TeleFutura (now UniMás). It was renamed to KABE-LP in 2004 after a callsign swap with the original KABE-CA (channel 31, now KBTF-CD). In 2013, the station obtained Class A status. In 2019, KABE started airing Court TV on its second digital subchannel as part of an agreement between Scripps and Univision for areas where KERO-TV's signal is not easily received.[1]

gollark: Nope!
gollark: It would be slightly inconvenient to do so, because a bunch of osmarks.net services interact with IRC.
gollark: I can put irc.osmarks.net onto one of my other servers, if people would prefer more uptimeness.
gollark: Resolved now.
gollark: It was a spontaneous internal network misconfiguration.
