Profile CDBS |
KZSD-LP, UHF analog channel 41, is a MeTV-affiliated television station located in San Diego, United States. The station is owned by the E.W. Scripps Company, and is a sister station to ABC affiliate KGTV (channel 10). The two stations share studio facilities located on Air Way in the Riverview-Webster section of San Diego; KZSD-LP maintains transmitter facilities located in the San Miguel Mountains in southwestern San Diego County.
As an artifact of its former Azteca affiliation, KZSD does not operate a digital signal of its own and the low-powered broadcasting radius does not reach the entire San Diego–Tijuana market, the station is simulcast over KGTV's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This signal can be seen on VHF channel 10.3 from a transmitter on Mount Soledad in La Jolla; the unusual numbering for the mapped subchannel in the past as channel 10.15 was in order to align it with KZSD's former cable placement on Cox Communications channel 15 (PBS member station KPBS-TV, which broadcasts on UHF channel 15 over-the-air, is instead carried on cable channel 11). Once XHDTV-TDT2 assumed the affiliation, the station lost the channel 15 cable slot, but regained its spot on May 1, 2017 on Cox channel 808, when it assumed the MeTV affiliation in San Diego.
