September 20. In 1997, Pappas acquired KFWU-TV in Fort Bragg in 1997 from Sainte Limited, at which point KFWU became a satellite of KTNC (though at first, KFWU was considered the main station and KTNC the satellite). That station became KUNO-TV in 2003. KUNO was sold to Jeff Chang in July 2010. Chang would later drop the KTNC simulcast in favor of Retro Television Network programming, under new call letters (originally KBQR; now KQSL), upon taking over. As a Spanish-language station KTNC was among the earliest affiliates of Azteca América upon its formation in 2001. However, Pappas Telecasting terminated KTNC's affiliation agreement with the network on June 30, 2007. The next day, KTNC officially became a part of Pappas' independent Spanish language network, TuVision. The Azteca América affiliation for the San Francisco market moved to a newly created digital subchannel of KBWB (channel 20, now KOFY-TV), while the network's Sacramento affiliation moved to low-power station KSTV-LP. DirecTV replaced KTNC with the KBWB subchannel in some locations on July 1, 2007. On January 16, 2009, it was announced that several Pappas stations, including KTNC and KUNO, would be sold to New World TV Group, after the sale received United States bankruptcy court approval. KTNC affiliated with Estrella TV upon its launch in 2009. On January 18, 2013, NRJ TV announced that it would acquire KTNC-TV from Titan TV Broadcast Group for $13.5 million, as part of a two-station deal that also included Houston sister station KUBE-TV; Titan TV Broadcast Group would continue to operate the stations upon the sale's consummation. The acquisition of KTNC created a legal duopoly with MundoMax affiliate KCNS (channel 38, which was bought by NRJ for $15 million in 2011); Titan Broadcast Management maintains a one-third equity stake in NRJ TV. The sale was consummated on July 1. KTNC was the Central Valley's Estrella TV affiliate until June 1, 2015, when Sacramento's KQCA added the network to one of their subchannels. The Central Valley feed on 42.2 was replaced with The Works. The Works on 42.3 was initially replaced with color bars before the channel was deleted. The San Francisco feed is still available to viewers in Sacramento over the 42.1 subchannel. Return to English-language programming On December 31, 2016, KTNC ended its Estrella TV affiliation, and commenced airing of paid programming. The station also began airing programming from NTDTV during the prime time hours. On February
