KGTV is the ABC television affiliate in San Diego, California. It broadcasts its analog signal on VHF channel 10, and its digital signal on UHF channel 25. It is currently owned by McGraw-Hill.
History
The station went on the air on September 13, 1953 as KFSD-TV (First in San Diego), and was affiliated at the time with NBC. It aired some ABC programs until 1956, when XETV in Tijuana took over the ABC affiliation full-time. In 1961, KFSD-TV and its then-sister radio station KFSD-AM 600 changed their call letters to KOGO-TV and KOGO-AM. The broadcasting division of the Time-Life magazine company purchased the stations, which also included a FM station, in 1962 from a locally based firm, Fox, Wells & Rogers.In 1972, the McGraw-Hill publishing company purchased Channel 10 (along with Indianapolis' WFBM-TV Channel 6, now WRTV) and changed its call letters to the present KGTV. The radio stations were sold separately to other interests. KGTV joined ABC in 1977, after ABC chose to disaffiliate itself from UHF station KCST Channel 39 (now KNSD). Channel 10 has remained with ABC since then.
On May 29, 2006 KGTV launched an all new non-traditional newscast called 10-4 San Diego focusing on issues that deal solely on San Diego. It airs at 4 pm and replaced The Oprah Winfrey Show, which KGTV lost to rival station KFMB.
Currently the station is #3 at 11pm, #2 at midday, #2 at 6:30pm, #2 on the weekends and competes with CBS affiliate KFMB for the #1 slot at 5pm.
Famous KGTV alumni include Regis Philbin, who hosted his first talk show on KGTV in the 1960s.
