History

KEXT began as K27EX, broadcasting to Modesto on channel 27 and receiving that callsign on September 21, 1994. It was owned by Warren L. Trumbly. In 2001, K27EX became KEXT-CA, a Class A station.

After the Class A conversion, Trumbly sold KEXT to Univision in May 2002. The name of the licensee changed to Telefutura Sacramento and later UniMás Sacramento as the station relayed KTFK.

In June 2014, KEXT was sold by Univision to Central Valley Television for $5,000, two weeks after Univision filed to convert it to digital from a site in San Jose. On August 1, 2014, KEXT analog went off air in order to begin digital construction; it returned to the air two months later and received its license to cover that December.
