Prior to NRJ TV's sale of the station to HC2 Broadcasting on May 21, 2018, for $4 million, KSKT-CD operated on digital channel 36 as a direct repeater of co-owned independent station KSCI (channel 18). The station was founded on December 4, 1990, as K43DM. It changed to KSKT-CA on August 20, 2001, and to its present KSKT-CD on March 18, 2015.[3]
