KEZT-CD (channel 23) is alow-power,Class A television station inSacramento, California, United States. It is atranslator ofModesto-licensedUnivision outletKUVS-DT (channel 19) which isowned and operated byTelevisaUnivision. KEZT-CD's transmitter is located on 22nd Street in downtown Sacramento. Its parent station shares studios withStockton-licensedduopoly partner andUniMás owned-and-operated stationKTFK-DT (channel 64) onArden Way nearCal Expo in Sacramento.

KEZT first aired programming fromThe Box in the 1990s and 2000, later affiliating withMTV2 in 2001 after The Box ceased operations. The station switched toSpanish-language programming briefly in 2002 as a charter affiliate of the newly-launched Telefutura (nowUniMás). When KTFK-TV (channel 64) was acquired by Univision Communications (nowTelevisaUnivision) in 2003, it assumed the Telefutura affiliation in 2004 and channel 23 switched back toEnglish-language programming as an affiliate ofHSN. This made KEZT one of two television stations owned by Univision at the time to broadcast in English (along withKUVI-TV, theUPN affiliate at the time inBakersfield, California); however, it re-aired a Spanish-language newscast and two Spanish-languagepublic affairs programs from KUVS on Sunday mornings to meetFederal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements regarding local programming on Class A television stations.

In 2014, the HSN affiliation was dropped and KEZT began repeating KUVS-DT (KUVI-DT, at the time, aMyNetworkTV affiliate, became Univision's sole remaining English-language station once again). To accommodate these changes, the station added three new subchannels, expanding from oneSD channel to four channels (with twoHD channels in5.1 surround sound for Spanish programming and two SD channels for English programming).

Since it was a Class A low-power analog station, it stayed on the air well after the June 2009 cutoff, but left the air on January 26, 2012. It was replaced with a digital channel (in standard definition with 2-channel sound) the same day.
