Encyclopedia
KZSD-LP is a low-powered television station
in San Diego, California
, broadcasting locally on channel 41 as an affiliate of Azteca America
. Initially licensed September 25, 1997 (actual sign-on date currently unknown), the station is owned by McGraw-Hill
along with sister station KGTV
, which carries the station's digital signal over subchannel 10.15; the unusual numbering is in order to align it with KZSD's cable channel 15 over Cox Communications
systems (not to be confused with KPBS-TV, which broadcasts on Channel 15 terrestrially, but is carried on cable channel 11).
San Diego is one of four markets to receive both Azteca America and the original TV Azteca
channels (Rio Grande Delta, El Paso and Laredo are the others). Much of KZSD's programming from Azteca America can also be seen on XHTIT-TV
(Azteca 7) or XHJK-TV
(Azteca 13), sometimes simultaneously.
McGraw-Hill announced on October 3, 2011 that it would sell KZSD, along with its other television stations, to The E.W. Scripps Company as part of its exit from broadcasting.
