KKEY-LP is a low-power television station in Bakersfield, California, that transmits over analog channel 11, it is also a subchannel of KGET. The station is owned by Newport Television and is a Telemundo affiliate.
On April 20, 2007, Clear Channel entered into an agreement to sell its entire television stations group to Newport Television, a broadcasting holding company established by the private equity firm Providence Equity Partners.[1] This deal closed on March 14, 2008. However, due to Providence Equity Partners' partial ownership stake in the Spanish-language network Univision, the owner of MyNetworkTV affiliate KUVI-TV, KKEY-LP will be sold along with KGET-TV and five other stations (KGPE in Fresno, California, KTVX and KUCW in the Salt Lake City, Utah DMA, WOAI-TV in San Antonio, Texas and WTEV-TV in Jacksonville, Florida) to High Plains Broadcasting. However, due to KKEY's low-power status, it was excluded along with KTVX from the deal, which was finalized on September 15, 2008. Newport Television continues to operate KGET through a shared services agreement. The analog signal went off the air in July 2009, and for a year KKEY only existed as a subchannel fo KGET and was even rebranded "Telemundo 17.3". On July 23, 2010 the analog signal on channel 11 came back on the air.
