History
The station signed on February 8, 1962 as KACB-TV, a satellite of Abilene's KRBC-TV. Originally owned by the Ackers family, the stations were sold to Sunrise Television in 1998.[1] Sunrise relaunched KACB as the third full-fledged station in the San Angelo market, with its own news department, local advertising and programming line-up, on October 1.[2] In 2002, Sunrise merged with LIN TV;[3] the following year, LIN turned around and sold KACB and KRBC to Mission Broadcasting.[4] On October 1, Mission renamed the station KSAN-TV.
To this day, both KSAN and KRBC, though now separate stations, remain under the same ownership (Mission Broadcasting).
The KSAN-TV call letters were originally assigned to an early UHF station operating on channel 32 in San Francisco, California, which first began operations in 1954, but had a relatively small audience for many years since few Bay Area television sets had UHF tuners in the 1950s. The channel is now occupied by KMTP-TV.
Coverage area
KSAN serves as the NBC affiliate for 11 counties in West Central Texas that form the San Angelo television market as defined by Nielsen (Tom Green, Sterling, Coke, Irion, Concho, McCulloch, Schleicher, Menard, Crockett, Sutton & Kimble).
KSAN also provides news and weather coverage to one county that is assigned to another nearby television market (Runnels in the Abilene-Sweetwater DMA). Runnels County is the adjacent county to San Angelo but the majority of the residents in the county watch local television stations that broadcast out of Abilene. This is why the county is assigned to the Abilene-Sweetwater television market by Nielsen.
