KCOY-TV

KCOY-TV is the CBS-affiliated television station for the Central Coast of California that is licensed to Santa Maria. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 19 from a transmitter on Tepusquet Peak in the Los Padres National Forest east of Santa Maria. Owned by VistaWest Media, KCOY is operated by News-Press & Gazette Company through a shared services agreement, making it sister stations to ABC affiliate KEYT-TV, and Class A Fox affiliate KKFX-CD. KCOY and KKFX share studios on West McCoy Lane in Santa Maria. Its signal can also be seen on repeater K44DN (on channel 44 from a transmitter northwest of Paso Robles) licensed to Paso Robles and on KSBB-CD (channel 17) in Santa Barbara.

History

The station went on-the-air on March 16, 1964. KCOY would not have existed if it were not for the Federal Communications Commission's decision in 1959 to move KFRE-TV (now KFSN-TV) in Fresno from channel 12 to channel 30 under pressure from politicians in the Central Coast. This allowed channel 12 to be used in Santa Maria. The station signed on as Santa Barbara County's NBC affiliate, sharing CBS with ABC affiliate KEYT.
