primetime scheduling like other affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, opting instead to air its programming one hour early from 7 to 9 p.m. KMAX began broadcasting The CW when it launched on September 18.įrom Septemto September 18, 2009, KQCA did not follow MyNetworkTV's standard 8 to 10 p.m. KQCA affiliated with MyNetworkTV when it launched on September 5, 2006. MyNetworkTV was created to compete against The CW as well as to give UPN and WB stations that were not mentioned as becoming CW affiliates another option besides converting to independent stations. On February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced the launch of a new programming service called MyNetworkTV, which would be operated by Fox Television Stations and its syndication division Twentieth Television. Through CBS's part-ownership of The CW, KMAX was announced as the network's Sacramento affiliate as part of an 11-station affiliation deal. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW. Hearst-Argyle bought KQCA outright in 2000 after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) began allowing duopolies, creating the first duopoly in the market in the process the station adopted the "WB 58" branding in September 2004. When Hearst-Argyle Television (which became Hearst Television in 2009) bought KCRA and its LMA with KQCA in 1999, the station dropped its "Q 58" branding in favor of using its call letters and channel number. On January 5, 1998, it swapped affiliations with KMAX-TV (channel 31) and became an affiliate of The WB. On February 1, 1995, the station changed its call letters to the current KQCA it also became an affiliate of UPN, and changed its on-air branding to "Q 58" (a branding similar to KCRA's then-sister station, Fox affiliate KCPQ in Seattle, Washington, which it still uses to this day), barely missing the January 16 launch of the network (meaning viewers had to watch the network via KBHK-TV in San Francisco those first two weeks). That station then took over the operations of KSCH. In December 1994, KSCH entered into a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Kelly Broadcasting, then-owner of KCRA. KSCH was also the first station in the Sacramento–Stockton–Modesto area to provide stereo sound from its sign-on. In 1988, the station moved its studios to a new building located on Gold Canal Drive in Rancho Cordova. On August 9 of that year, SFN sold the station to Pegasus Broadcasting. Some programs that were aired on the station had not been seen since their original network/syndication runs. The station originally operated from studios located on West Weber Avenue in Stockton. It originally operated as an independent station and aired classic television series from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. It was owned by the SFN Companies (Schuyler Broadcasting Co.). The station first signed on the air on April 13, 1986, as KSCH. 3.1.6 Hearst Television Washington D.C.
