KSTS, Television station in San Jose, United States
KSTS is a television station in San Jose that operates under the Telemundo brand and broadcasts Spanish-language content for the Bay Area. The station uses channel 48 for over-the-air transmission and reaches viewers across the region from its broadcast facilities.
The broadcast license was granted in 1978, and operations began in 1981 as an independent station focused on business and computer content. Telemundo acquired the station in 1987, fundamentally changing the programming toward Spanish-language content.
The station serves Spanish-speaking communities in Northern California with news, series and local productions that reflect the daily lives and interests of this audience. Many families rely on this channel to stay connected with Latin American content and regional events in their native language.
The channel can be received through digital antenna on channel 48 or via local cable and satellite providers throughout the San Francisco area. Reception works best in open locations or with an outdoor antenna for clearer digital signals.
Before Telemundo acquired it, the station broadcast specialized programming for business professionals and early computer users in the 1980s. The purchase price of 17 million dollars marked one of the earliest major deals in the US Spanish-language television market.
