History

KSEE started transmitting on June 1, 1953, as KMJ-TV. It was the first station to go on-air in Fresno and the first to use color film and network color in 1954.[citation needed] The station was affiliated with NBC, but also carried independent programming.[1]

KMJ-TV was originally owned by the McClatchy family whose assets included KMJ radio and three Californian newspapers called The Bee, in Fresno, Sacramento and Modesto.

In 1981, McClatchy retired from television station ownership by selling KMJ-TV to San Joaquin Communications, which changed the station's call letters to the present-day KSEE (as McClatchy heold on to KMJ radio until 1987). San Joaquin Communications, in turn, sold KSEE to Meredith Corporation in 1984.

Granite Broadcasting purchased KSEE, along with Syracuse, New York's CBS affiliate WTVH, from Meredith Corporation on December 27, 1993.

The station may have changed its call letters once, but its network affiliation hasn't; it is one of the two Central California television stations that has never changed its affiliation, and has been since the mid-1980s the region's second rated television station behind longtime leader KFSN. The other station to keep its affiliation is KMPH.

Digital television

The station's digital signal is UHF 38, multiplexed:

Channel Programming
24.1 main KSEE-TV/NBC programming
24.2 KSEE Weather Plus
24.3 LATV

Programming

In addition to local programming, syndicated programming on KSEE are light, with Dr. Phil and Inside Edition in the mid-afternoons, and Access Hollywood before primetime. KSEE clears all NBC programming, however, Days of our Lives airs an hour later than the recommended 1 p.m. slot.

KSEE produced a local oriented show MedWatch which aired every Saturday at 6:30 p.m. with former Fresno anchor Cindy Suryan. MedWatch talked about health topics and concerns as well as featuring the latest in medical technology.

In September 2005, Sports Central was launched. The show went more in-depth about local sports teams as well as national sports topics. The KSEE sports department also launched The Bulldog Insider to air on Sundays at 6:30 p.m., this series goes in-depth with California State University, Fresno's athletic teams .

In September 2007, a new business-entertainment show Central Valley Today was launched and airs at 11 a.m. after the fourth-hour of Today. The daily hour-long show features KSEE 24 Sunrise news anchor Alex Delgado as host. Producing credit along with Delgado is Amanda Jaurigui. Monica Favila, now in San Diego, was the show-launch producer along with Monique Soltani, now at KPIX-TV in San Francisco, who served as associate producer and co-host.

Analog-to-digital conversion

KSEE remains on its current pre-transition channel number, 38. However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers will display KSEE24's virtual channel as 24.1.

News operation

As of 2011, KSEE totals 27 hours of local news per week (5 hours on weekdays and 1 hour on weekends). A two hour newscast airs at 5 a.m., followed by half-hour blocks at noon and 5 p.m., one hour at 6 p.m., half-hour at 7 p.m., and a 35-minute wrap at 11 p.m. On weekends, only half-hour newscasts at 6 and 11 p.m. are provided. KSEE previously had a 4 p.m. newscast before being replaced by a 30-minute locally produced live program called "We Are Fresno" in March 2011, which airs between Dr. Phil and Inside Edition.

On July 31, 2006, KSEE 24 produced a 10 p.m. primetime newscast every Monday through Friday on My Network TV affiliate KAIL until September 11, 2009. KSEE 24 was the only station to start a 4:30 a.m. newscast for KSEE Sunrise earlier than any other station. On January 3, 2011, KSEE Sunrise moved the newscast start time to 5:00 a.m. Since September 21, 2009, KSEE 24 is the first and only station to launch a 7 p.m. newscast with a different kind of format with Carolyn Bruck and is now hosted by Lindsey Pena.

As of September 26, 2011, KSEE is one of two stations without high definition newscasts (along with KGPE); however, KSEE's newscasts are now in 16:9 enhanced widescreen.
