KCCC-TV
KCCC-TV was a television station on ultra high frequency (UHF) channel 40 in Sacramento, California, United States. Owned by the Capital City TV Corporation, KCCC-TV was Sacramento's first television outlet and broadcast from 1953 to 1957. However, the arrival of new very high frequency (VHF) stations, which unlike UHF outlets did not require special converters to tune on most television sets, limited the station's reach and programming. The station's demise was caused when Stockton, California, Stockton's KOVR (channel 13) obtained the American Broadcasting Company, ABC affiliation by moving its transmitter; KCCC-TV's ownership then purchased a stake in KOVR and shut down channel 40. History Establishment In 1952, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) lifted a four-year freeze on television station applications and made available 70 new channels in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band for television use. Two applications were received specifying channel 40 in Sacramento, fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
