History

KUCO's logo prior to January 1, 2013

KUCO was founded by country-western singer Chester Smith's broadcast company Sainte Partners II, L.P. and first hit the air in 1998 to help bring Spanish-language television to the growing Spanish-speaking population in Northern California. It was the first Spanish-language station to air in the Chico/Redding market. It would soon be joined by Telemundo affiliate KXVU-LP and TeleFutura affiliate KKTF-LP, both also founded by Smith's company.

In 2014, six years after Smith's death, his company sold KUCO and the remaining stations to Bonten Media Group, owners of Redding, California, ABC affiliate KRCR-TV.

KEUV-LP is its semi-satellite in Eureka, airing similar programs, but with different commercials and identification for the Eureka area.
