[edit] History
KDTV began operation in 1975 on channel 60 as the Bay Area's first exclusively Spanish-language TV station. The station was owned by a local group headed by Reynold Anselmo and affiliated with the Spanish International Network. On March 5, 1979 KDTV traded facilities with KCSM, San Mateo, obtaining Channel 14.
By the mid-1980s, The Spanish International Network became known as Univision. KDTV continued its format of full-time Spanish language programming. Finally, it became owned and operated by Univision in 1992. Univision 14 is also rebroadcast on KDTV-CA channel 28, in Santa Rosa.
[edit] News operation
Enrique Gratas, host of Univision's late night newscast Noticiero Univision Última Hora, anchored KDTV's first newscasts. In November 2007, the Bay Area's highest ratings among all viewers aged 25 to 54 for a 6 p.m. local news broadcast went to KDTV. This was the Bay Area's first occurrence in which a Spanish-language news program earned higher ratings than its English-language counterparts.[1]
A major change was brought to KDTV in November 2011, which included a new set and brand new graphics. With the change, KDTV started broadcasting in 16:9 widescreen. [2]
