KBNT-CD (channel 17) is a low-power, Class A television station in San Diego, California, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language network Univision.
The three stations share studios on Ruffin Road in San Diego's Kearny Mesa section; KBNT-CD's transmitter is located on Mount Soledad in La Jolla.
The station obtained the Univision affiliation from Televisa-owned XEWT in Tijuana on January 1, 1990.
[2] At that time, San Diegans could receive the station only through cable television, because its weak broadcast signal could not reach the city proper.
The Univision affiliation switched from channel 19 (closed in 2001) to channel 17 (obtaining the KBNT-LP callsign and bought by Entravision), allowing Univision to reach San Diego, National City and Chula Vista over the air.
On August 9, 2021, the Federal Communications Commission canceled the license for analog translator KTCD-LP, as the station did not transition to digital operation by the July 13, 2021, deadline.
