KSAN-TV, virtual channel 3, is the NBC-affiliated television station for the San Angelo, Texas, television market. KSAN is owned by Mission Broadcasting; through a local sales agreement, the station is operated by CBS affiliate KLST, which is owned and operated by Nexstar Media Group. It is broadcast on digital channel 16, which remaps to former analog channel 3 via PSIP.
On June 15, 2016, Nexstar announced that it has entered into an affiliation agreement with Katz Broadcasting for the Escape, Laff, Grit, and Bounce TV networks (the last one of which is owned by Bounce Media LLC, whose COO Jonathan Katz is president/CEO of Katz Broadcasting), bringing the four networks to 81 stations owned and/or operated by Nexstar, including KSAN-TV and KLST.
The station signed on February 8, 1962, as KACB-TV, a satellite of Abilene's KRBC-TV. Originally owned by the Ackers family, the stations were sold to Sunrise Television in 1998. Sunrise relaunched KACB as the third full-fledged station in the San Angelo market, with its own news department, local advertising, and programming line-up, on October 1. In 2002, Sunrise merged with LIN TV; the following year, LIN turned around and sold KACB and KRBC to Mission Broadcasting. On October 1, Mission renamed the station KSAN-TV.
Both KSAN and KRBC, though now separate stations, remain under the same ownership (Mission Broadcasting).
The KSAN-TV call letters were originally assigned to an early UHF station operating on channel 32 in San Francisco, California, which first began operations in 1954, but had a relatively small audience for many years, since few Bay Area television sets had UHF tuners in the 1950s. The channel is now occupied by KMTP-TV.
