that it would produce a half-hour late afternoon newscast at 5:30 p.m. for KRRT, titled WB 35 News at 5:30. The program utilized the same anchors, meteorologist and sports staff seen on channel 29's 9:00 p.m. newscast. It would take on national newscasts that were airing on the Big Three networks at that timeslot. A point of difference between those programs and the new KRRT newscast was that it would focus mainly on local content in a fast-paced format, according to KABB's then-news director Alan Little. The new program launched on Monday, March 9, 1998. Four additional staffers were hired to accommodate the expansion; additional equipment was also purchased. The program was cancelled in 2001 due to low ratings. Technical information Subchannels The station's ATSC 1.0 channels are carried on the multiplexed digital signals of other San Antonio television stations: Analog-to-digital conversion On February 2, 2009, Sinclair told cable and satellite television providers via e-mail that regardless of the exact mandatory switchover date to digital-only broadcasting for full-power stations (which Congress rescheduled for June 12 days later), the station would shut down its analog signal on the original transition date of February 17, making KABB and KMYS the first television stations in the market to convert to digital-only broadcast transmissions. KMYS discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 35, on February 17, 2009, the original target date for full-power television stations in the United States to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which Congress had moved the previous month to June 12). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 32, using PSIP to display its virtual channel as its former analog channel 35.
