LATV launches in Sacramento.

LATV announced that it had signed on its fourth Tribune affiliate, KTXL-FOX40, covering Sacramento/Stockton/Modesto, California. The station is in the 11th-largest Hispanic market and is ranked as the 20th largest Designated Market Area (DMA). KTXL-FOX40 began broadcasting LATV on Friday, December 5 on digital channel 40.2. This is LATV’s 35th digital multicast affiliation across the U.S.

“Sacramento is a pivotal affiliate for us as we round out our presence in California. Now with the addition of the 11th-largest Hispanic market in our fold, we cover the state,” said Howard Bolter, president and COO, LATV. “In just over a year-and-a-half, LATV has extended its national footprint with the top broadcast stations in nearly every key DMA. With only two months to go before the FCC-mandated digital conversion, we are well-positioned for the future.”
