KSAO-LD, virtual channel 49 (UHF digital channel 14), branded on air as Azteca 49 Sacramento, is a low-powered Azteca América-affiliated television station licensed to Sacramento, California, United States. The station is owned by Cocola Broadcasting. On cable, KSAO is available locally on Comcast Xfinity channel 397, AT&T U-verse channel 4 and Charter Spectrum channel 191.

Satellite provider DirecTV has yet to carry KSAO as the Sacramento market's Azteca affiliate. It continues to carry KEMO-TV (channel 50.2) from the San Francisco Bay Area instead.

Technical information[]

Subchannels[]

The station's digital channel is multiplexed:

Channel	Video	Aspect	Short name	Programming^[1]
49.1	480i	16:9	Azteca	Main KSAO-LD programming / Azteca América
49.2		4:3	ThisTV	This TV
49.3		4:3	BUZZR	Buzzr
49.4		16:9	NTD	New Tang Dynasty Television
49.5		4:3	ShopLC	Shop LC
49.6			SBN	SonLife Broadcasting Network
49.8			TCN	Universal Church

Most of KSAO's subchannels are not available on local cable and satellite providers, although the national feeds of Shop LC and SBN are carried by some local providers. In addition, KSAO's main channel is not carried by DirecTV and instead carries Azteca América owned-and-operated KEMO-TV (subchannel 50.2) in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In 2019, KSAO became the third station in the Sacramento television market to affiliate with This TV on digital subchannel 49.2, after having previous subchannel affiliations with KQCA (subchannel 58.2) and KTXL (subchannel 40.3).

Former subchannel affiliations[]

KSAO affiliated with MundoMax when the network launched (as MundoFox) in August 2012. It was also affiliated with Bounce TV on digital subchannel 49.2 until March 2013, when Bounce was switched over to KUVS digital subchannel 19.3 as part of a distribution agreement with Univision Communications, owner of KUVS.^[2]

KSAO was affiliated with TheCoolTV on digital subchannel 49.2 until April 2016 when it was dropped and replaced by Retro TV. As part of an affiliation deal with Retro TV's parent company Luken Communications, it also included the addition of Rev'n on digital subchannel 49.5.^[3] Both channels were dropped in 2018.

A simulcast of former Azteca América affiliate KSTV-LP, channel 32, aired on digital subchannel 49.3 until the simulcast was dropped in early 2016. The channel remained silent for a short time until May 11, 2016, when it was affiliated with Buzzr, a broadcast television network airing classic game shows.

Azteca América returned to KSAO on its main channel as the primary Sacramento area affiliate when MundoMax ceased operations on November 30, 2016.
