KSKJ-CD
KSKJ-CD is a low-power Class A television station in Van Nuys broadcasting in digital on UHF channel 26, virtual channel 45 as an affiliate of BeIN Sports Xtra. Founded May 29, 1993, the station was owned by NRJ TV LLC until it sold to HC2 Holdings in July 2018. HC2 had elected to take the station dark while it builds a new transmission facility on Mt Wilson or Mt Harvard which will dramatically improve the station's coverage area. (As part of the FCC's repack, KSKJ-CD will be moving from digital channel 45 to digital channel 26.) The new transmission facility is expected to be completed during the December 1, 2018 - April 12, 2019 time period which is Phase 2 of the FCC's planned repack.[1]
