KMSG's Azteca America feed is rebroadcast on KVVG-LD channel 54.1 in Visalia.

History

KVVG-LD started out as KVVG-LP, an affiliate of Almavision for the Visalia area in early 2005. Formerly on channel 31, it later moved to channel 54. KVVG-LP changed to Tvida Vision in mid-2005. As of 2011, the station converted to a digital signal, as KVVG-LD.

The KVVG calls were originally used on a DuMont affiliate on channel 27 in Tulare in the 1950s. The KMSG calls were originally used on what is now CW affiliate KFRE-TV (channel 59) from its sign-on from 1985 to 2001.

Until mid-2006, KMSG's programming was also seen on KPMC-LP (channel 42, now KZKC-LD) in Bakersfield, which was sold to McGraw-Hill, becoming a standalone Azteca América affiliate and later a translator of ABC affiliate KERO-TV (channel 23).

On September 28, 2020, MyNetworkTV programming moved to KMSG, after the network's previous affiliate, KAIL (channel 7), switched to TCT.

Programming

KMSG provides programming for the Hispanic community. Some of its most popular programming includes novelas, sports events such as First Division Mexican League Soccer, news, talk, comedy, reality, and women's magazines.
