KBBC-TV is a full-service bilingual independent television station in Bishop, California, broadcasting locally on channel 20. Founded August 21, 2007, the station is owned by Venture Technologies Group, LLC.

In the daytime, KBBC airs infomercials from Corner Store TV. At night, it airs Spanish-language independent programming including "La Corte del Pueblo" ("The People's Court"), "La Corte de Familia", "Fútbol al Dia" (a talk show about soccer), and a newscast with extensive news from Central America. The nighttime programming had premiered on KNLA-LP, which is now a translator station.

On December 21, 2007, KBBC was added to the DirecTV local channel lineup for the Los Angeles media market. This came two days after KVMD was re-located to a high-definition tier, making it unavailable on standard definition.

Digital television

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [http://www.transmitter.com/FCC97115/chanplan.html] , the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 17, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KBBC-TV will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
