KICU-TV, virtual and UHF digital channel 36, is an independent television station serving the San Francisco Bay Area that is licensed to San Jose, California, United States. It is owned by the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of 21st Century Fox, as part of a duopoly with Fox owned-and-operated station KTVU (channel 2). The two stations share studio facilities located at Jack London Square on Washington Street (between The Embarcadero and the San Francisco Bay Trail) in West Oakland; KICU maintains transmitter facilities located on Monument Peak in Milpitas.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) originally assigned the UHF channel 36 allocation in Northern California to . It was occupied by KTVU (no relation to the present-day Oakland-based sister station of KICU), a short-lived independent station that signed on the air on December 18, 1953. The station carried mainly low-cost barter syndicated programming and a limited amount of locally produced programs; during its final month of operation in April 1955, KTVU also carried a few NBC programs (including Mr. Peepers, My Little Margie, Howdy Doody and You Bet Your Life) via simulcast with KRON-TV (channel 4, now a MyNetworkTV affiliate).
