KZNO-LD (channel 12) is alow-power television station inLos Angeles, California, United States. Owned by the Venture Technologies Group, it transmits from the Mount Harvard Radio Site in the San Gabriel Mountains as aSpanish-languagereligious radio station that can be received at 87.7 FM. ItsATSC 3.0 video feed broadcastsJewelry Television on digital channel 12.1.
The station was founded on August 7, 1996, as translator K06MU inBig Bear Lake. It was also available to area subscribers ofCharter Cable on channel 6. The station's programming at the time was similar to apublic-access televisioncable television channel, consisting primarily of news, public affairs and travel programs produced by local residents of theBig Bear Valley.
In 2016, ownership was transferred from Bear Valley Broadcasting to Venture Technologies, which previously ownedKSFV-CA, which also operated on analog channel 6 as a radio station, which, as KSFV-CD, now shares transmitting facilities on Mount Harvard (a peak adjacent toMount Wilson) in Los Angeles County withOntario-licensedKPOM-CD.
While operating as an analog TV station, KZNO-LP audio could be heard locally by radio receivers on 87.7 FM, since TV channel 6 is in the 82–88 MHz range. Because it was a low-power station, it was not obligated to switch to a digital signal on June 12, 2009, which was required of all full-power TV stations in the United States.
As of July 9, 2021, KZNO-LP had ceased its analog TV transmissions, prior to the July 13, 2021,Federal Communications Commission (FCC) deadline for LPTV stations to end analog TV transmissions.[2] The station was licensed for digital operation effective July 15, 2021, changing its call sign to KZNO-LD at the same time. Effective July 27, 2021, the station was granted a six-monthspecial temporary authority to resume audio transmissions receivable on 87.7 FM.[3] On July 20, 2023, an FCC "Report and Order" included this station as one of 13"FM6" stations allowed to continue to operate an FM radio broadcast, as a "ancillary or supplementary" service.[4]
