KBNT-CD, virtual channel 17 (UHF digital channel 25), is a Univision-affiliated television station located in San Diego, California, United States. The station is owned by the Entravision Communications Corporation, and is a sister station to MyNetworkTV affiliate XHDTV-TV (channel 49), UniMás affiliate KDTF-LD (channel 51) and Telemundo affiliate XHAS-TV (channel 33). All four stations share studio facilities located on Ruffin Road in San Diego's Kearny Mesa section; KBNT-CD maintains transmitter facilities located on Mount Soledad in La Jolla.
The station's signal is relayed on low-powered KTCD-LP (channel 46) in San Diego and KHAX-LP (channel 49) in Vista.
The earliest incarnations of KBNT dates back to May 19, 1987, with the launch of K19BN San Diego, owned by Cabrillo Broadcasting Corporation. The station obtained the Univision affiliation from Televisa-owned XEWT Tijuana on January 1, 1990. The station also obtained its on-air identity KBNT-TV. The station's original facilities were located in San Diego's Mira Mesa neighborhood. At that time, San Diegans could receive the station only through cable television, because its weak broadcast signal could not reach the city proper. Eventually, the station increased its transmitting power, effectively boosting its signal; while still not reaching San Diego proper, it could be picked up in Escondido, San Marcos, Vista and Fallbrook.
