[edit] History

In 1962, Fresno's Channel 21 was home to an English-language independent station, KDAS-TV. The station survived for two years before leaving the air in 1964. Channel 21 would not return to the air until 1972, when Univisión acquired a construction permit and began broadcasting as KFTV.

Sharing studios in Fresno, California with sister-station KTFF, KFTV serves California's central valley with its full-power signal, and several low-power translator stations.
