KJCT-LP's signal is relayed on K28AD-D in Montrose, which has operated from Storm King Mountain since it launched in September 1982, along with digital translators across central and northwestern Colorado.

However, cable viewers could watch the full ABC schedule on Denver's KBTV (channel 9, now NBC affiliate KUSA).

The station had full production facilities in Grand Junction; however, much of the programming was fed via hundreds of miles of microwave links from KRDO.

[16] That October, Varecha sold KKHD, which had affiliated with Telemundo, and KXHD-LP (channel 36) in Montrose to News-Press and Gazette Company for $675,000;[17] the deal was completed on January 2, 2007.

[26][27] KKHD-LP and KXHD-LP (the latter of which had joined KKHD in carrying Telemundo programming) were included in Excalibur Broadcasting's 2013 purchase of KJCT from NPG.

[28] In June 2014, Excalibur reached a deal to sell KKHD and KXHD to Gray outright for $2.5 million;[29] the purchase was completed on December 15.

[30] KKHD changed its call letters to KJCT-LP on January 9, 2015;[14] this followed the move of the original KJCT's virtual channel 8 and its programming (including ABC) to the station.
