YurView California
[citation needed] During the October 2007 wildfires that affected San Diego, 4SD carried ABC programs, including the network's news and primetime shows, in lieu of the market's ABC affiliate KGTV (channel 10) due to that station's breaking news coverage of the fires.
[4] Similarly on January 17, 2010, 4SD aired a college basketball game between the Connecticut Huskies and the Michigan Wolverines in place of CBS affiliate KFMB-TV (channel 8), which instead carried a local pregame show for the divisional playoff game between the New York Jets and the San Diego Chargers.
Cox San Diego agreed to carry some games from the first season of the Fall Experimental Football League in October and November 2014.
[6][7] YurView California now serves as a locally originated entertainment channel, with many of its programs airing several times each week.
During the time that 4SD held the Padres broadcast rights, Cox Communications' Las Vegas system simulcast Padres games on Cox 96 which broadcast the team's games exclusively in standard definition (the channel otherwise carries Las Vegas area government affairs and special event programming).
On April 21, 2011, 4SD manager Dennis Morgigno announced during a meeting with his employees that 4SD will probably not renew the Padres television rights for the 2012 season onwards.
This was later formally acknowledged by Cox Communications' vice president of cable affairs for the San Diego market, Sam Attisha, in an announcement that it would lay off the channel's baseball production staff at the end of the 2011 season.
In 1998, 4SD obtained the broadcast rights to USD Toreros basketball home games that are not nationally televised (by either ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or Fox Sports Net).
[18] Beginning with 2024–25 NBA G League season, YurView California is the broadcast home for the San Diego Clippers.
In June 2010 Time Warner Cable began carrying the channel's high definition feed on its Desert Cities systems.
On June 15, 2010, Cox Communications announced its intentions to negotiate with DirecTV, Dish Network and AT&T U-verse to distribute 4SD to those providers.
