KSAN-TV is the NBC affiliate for the San Angelo, Texas, USA market, owned and operated by Mission Broadcasting.

KSAN is owned by Mission Broadcasting; through a Local Sales Agreement the station is operated by CBS affiliate KLST, which is owned and operated by Nexstar Broadcasting Group.

The station originally had its start in 1962 as KACB-TV, a satellite of Abilene's KRBC-TV. Eventually, by the 1990s at the latest, KACB became its own station, with its own news department, local advertising and programming line-up.

On October 1, 2003, KACB-TV was re-called KSAN-TV.

To this day, both KSAN and KRBC, though now separate stations, remain under same ownership (Mission Broadcasting).

[edit] Earlier Use of the Call Letters

KSAN-TV (Channel 32) was originally an early UHF television station in San Francisco, California, which first began operations in 1954, but had a realtively small audience for many years since few Bay Area television sets had UHF tuners in the 1950s. The station was bought by Metromedia and renamed KNEW-TV, then taken over by KQED (Channel 9) and renamed KQEC-TV to offer additional PBS programming. KQED now offers several separate digital services and Channel 32 is a foreign language station, KMTP.
