KXTV, known on-air as ABC 10, is a prominent television station serving the Sacramento–Stockton–Modesto market in California. It operates as an ABC network affiliate and is owned by Tegna Media. The station broadcasts digitally on channel 10 with 34.5 kilowatts of power, providing high-definition programming and multiple digital subchannels, including True Crime Network, Bounce, and Quest[2]. KXTV's history dates back to March 19, 1955, when it first signed on as KBET under Sacramento Telecasters’ ownership. It was the second VHF station in Sacramento. In 1959, the station changed its call letters to KXTV after being sold to Corinthian Broadcasting[1][4][5]. A significant milestone was the network affiliation switch on March 6, 1995, when KXTV shifted from CBS to ABC, aligning the station with a major national network that shaped its programming and audience reach[2]. A notable technical and architectural achievement of KXTV is its broadcast tower, completed in September 2000. Rising 287 feet tall, the tower replaced a much shorter 70-foot structure that had caused signal interruptions due to surrounding buildings and trees. Designed as an aesthetic landmark and “public art” for Sacramento’s Broadway Street Corridor, the tower integrates engineering excellence with community-focused design, featuring vibrant colors and nighttime illumination to serve as a city icon[3]. KXTV has been a local media anchor, known for community engagement and programming such as the lifestyle show "Sacramento and Company," launched in 2005. The station has evolved its branding over time, most recently rebranding from "News 10" to "ABC 10" in 2015 to emphasize its ABC affiliation[2]. Today, KXTV remains an influential player in Sacramento’s media landscape, combining strong network content with local news, lifestyle programming, and technological innovation in broadcastin
