[edit] History
KSTS ident before the presentation of the Apple Macintosh computer in 1984.
KSTS began operation on May 31, 1981. The station was owned by National Group Television and headed by N.J. Douglas. The station offered various brokered types of programming during the day on weekdays and mornings on weekends. Some of the brokered programming foreign language shows, religious programming, and a lot of programming pertaining to new technologies. The station used the slogan "Your computer connection". KSTS was also the only station to broadcast the introduction of Apple Computer's Macintosh personal computer at Apple's 1984 Annual Shareholders Meeting. From the evening on on weekdays and from about noon on during weekends, KSTS offered ON-TV subscription TV services.

In 1984, the station partnered with two other independent Spanish language television stations to bring about 5 hours a day of Spanish shows weekday evenings. This Network was known as Net Span. The Spanish programming actually replaced Subscription Television programming. Other stations joined this group. By 1986, KSTS was running Spanish programming about half the time. The Net Span network became known as Telemundo in mid-1987. By then the station was running this programming about 16 hours a day. Telemundo actually bought the station outright later that year of at which time full-time Telemundo programming began. Initially, KSTS was themed for the San Jose/Silicon Valley metro area, but after converting to Spanish language programming has changed focus for the entire San Francisco Bay area. In 2000, as a result of a corporate takeover, NBC became the owner of KSTS running the station as part of the Telemundo division.
[edit] Digital Television
