Station for sale
In November 2007, it was announced that KMCW and sister station KFBI were up for sale, but they were never purchased. It remained Sainte property from then on.
In April 2012, station owners Sainte Television Group (aka Sainte Partners II) entered into a local marketing agreement with Bonten Media Group, a New York-based private equity group which owns Northern California ABC and MeTV affiliates KRCR-TV in Redding, California, and KAEF-TV in Eureka, California. Esteem Broadcasting now owns and operates Sainte's former Northern California full power stations in Chico and Eureka. Operated by Bonten Media under a shared service agreement with Esteem Broadcasting. KMCW and its sister station KFBI were not included in the package as well as the Sacramento KCSO Telemundo affiliate. KMCW and KFBI were sold to Northwest Broadcasting, owner of KMVU-DT in Medford. KMCW replaced This TV (which now airs on KOBI-TV sub-channel 5.2) on sub-channel 48.2 while still airing on channel 14.
(KCSO Telemundo 33 in Sacramento, California and KVIQ, a Eureka, California CBS affiliate station are now on the block for yet another Sainte Liquidation which will end the long stent of Sainte Broadcast Properties 27 in all built by the legendary Chester Smith.)
