History

KSNL was signed on the air before May 2008 as K06LZ.

In 1988, SJL Broadcast Management acquired the KSN stations. They were then sold to Lee Enterprises in 1995. Emmis Communications bought most of Lee Enterprises' stations in 2000. Montecito Broadcast Group, a newly-formed partnership between SJL and the Blackstone Group, acquired the KSN stations from Emmis on January 27 2006.

In January 2006, the station hired former general manager Al Buch as the station's new GM, under the then-pending ownership of Montecito Broadcast Group. The CEO/founder of Montecito is George Lilly.

On July 24, 2007, Montecito announced the sale of all of its stations (KSNW and its satellites, plus KHON-TV in Honolulu and its satellites, KOIN in Portland and KSNT in Topeka) to New Vision Television. The sale was finalized on November 1, 2007. [http://broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6462752.html]
