KAXT-CA was a low-power analog class-A television station. It broadcasted in analog on UHF channel 22 as a network affiliate of Spanish-language Christian television Tiempos Finales TV, formerly being an affiliate of TBN from 1989 to 2003, and of Almavision from 2003 to 2006.
KAXT began ATSC digital TV transmissions on UHF channel 42 on July 31, 2009 with the call sign KAXT-LD, later becoming KAXT-CD. The station was the first digital television station to broadcast 12 video streams on a standard 6 Mhz 19.39 Mbps ATSC stream. Using statistical multiplexing technology in the encoders and multiplexer, the system provides variable bit rate compression needed to provide full quality standard definition video across all of the channels with enough bandwidth for radio (audio only) services.
Broadcast Engineering nominated KAXT as Station of the Year for 2009 [1], the first low power television station ever to receive such a distinction.
The DTV virtual channels between KAXT-LD's Channel 22 (physical: 22) and KRCB's Channel 22 (physical: 23) Cotati, had significant overlap that caused a PSIP conflict, forcing KAXT-CD to a new virtual channel, 1.1. The station operates with a PSIP of Channel 1, with 12 different video program streams and eight audio-only channels for a total of 20 virtual channels.
