KZKC-LP
KZKC-LP, UHF analog channel 42, is a low-powered Court TV owned-and-operated television station licensed to Bakersfield, California, United States. Owned by the E. W. Scripps Company, it is a sister station to ABC affiliate KERO-TV. The two stations share studios on 21st Street in Downtown Bakersfield; KZKC's transmitter is located atop Mount Adelaide.
Since KZKC does not broadcast a digital signal of its own, it is simulcast in high definition on KERO's second digital subchannel from a transmitter atop Breckenridge Mountain.
The station was originally owned by Cocola Broadcasting, where it served as a repeater for Fresno's KMSG-LP, an Azteca América affiliate; McGraw-Hill bought it in 2006 and made it a stand-alone station. McGraw-Hill announced on October 3, 2011 that it would sell KZKC, along with its other television stations, to the E. W. Scripps Company as part of its exit from broadcasting. The deal was completed on December 30, 2011. KZKC-LP became an owned-and-operated station of the relaunched Court TV during 2019. Azteca América programming has moved to the fourth subchannel of KDBK-LD/KEBK-LD, and is also available via its national feed on satellite and IPTV providers.
