History
Established in Oct 1990 as KSTV-TV, it was the second attempt to launch a television service in the area of Ventura, the first one being KKOG which operated on channel from Dec 1986 to Sep 1969 and broadcasted live local programming for its audiences. KSTV was owned by Costa de Oro Television Inc. and would air content in Spanish as a Galavisión affiliate. It would also operate an LP translator in Santa Maria.
Walter Ulloa in 1994 acquired Costa de Oro Television and KSTV and unrevealed his plans to supplement the transmitting power of the station and increase the reach of the signal to Los Angeles Area. However, KSTV couldn’t get the opportunity to operate in Los Angeles due to the FCC rules that placed it within the Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-San Luis Obispo market. Unable to run on through cable in LA market. KSTV decided to switch to an English language format and got associated with WB in Santa Barbara.
Nevertheless, the efforts to break into Los Angeles never stopped and KSTV by Feb 1998 was able to enter the Western Los Angeles County after increasing its ERP to 5,000 Kw. However, the channel had to end its affiliation with WB as the Los Angeles area already had a WB-affiliate: KTLA: Ch 5. By the spring of 1998, the studios facilities were moved from Ventura to West Los Angeles. It changed its calls to KJLA on July 20, 1998; the ‘LA’ in letters identified its affinity with LA market.
