4SD, commonly referred to as Channel 4 San Diego (and also known as Channel 4 Padres or COX 4, and originally known as KCOX) is an American cable television channel serving San Diego, California that is owned by Cox Television. More or less, it originally operated as a regional sports network for San Diego County, with a mixed format resembling that of Denver-based regional sports network Altitude Sports and Entertainment; but with the loss of the network's television rights to many professional and collegiate sports teams in recent years, its programming has shifted more towards public interest programs as well as local programming, informercials and older television series that the channel had been carrying before losing the majority of its sports programming. ==History== The channel was launched by Cox Communications as an outlet used as an experiment during the 1996 Republican Convention, as well as to provide round-the-clock coverage for the Super Bowl festivities at Qualcomm Stadium in 1998 and 2003. During the October 2007 wildfires that affected San Diego, 4SD carried ABC programs, including the network's news and primetime shows, in lieu of the market's ABC affiliate KGTV (channel 10) due to that station's breaking news coverage of the fires.〔(PROGRAMMING NOTE: ABC Shows To Air On Cox Channel 4 ) ABC 10/KGTV〕 Similarly on January 17, 2010, 4SD aired a college basketball game between the Connecticut Huskies and the Michigan Wolverines in place of CBS affiliate KFMB-TV (channel 8), which instead carried a local pregame show for the divisional playoff game between the New York Jets and the San Diego Chargers. In March 2009, Time Warner Cable began carrying 4SD on its systems in the Yuma, Arizona-El Centro, California market and the Desert Cities (Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Indio, La Quinta and Coachella). This was due to the fact that the San Diego Padres maintain territorial rights in areas of Riverside County east of the San Jacinto Mountains, and throughout the Yuma-El Centro television market. Channel 4 San Diego is carried on channel 19 on Time Warner Cable's Yuma-El Centro system, and on channel 27 on its Desert Cities systems; the provider carries the entire 4SD programming schedule, which is also carried on its system in San Diego. In June 2010, Time Warner Cable began carrying the channel's high definition feed on its Desert Cities systems.〔(New Start Over Channels in Desert Cities ) Time Warner Cable Desert Cities〕 Since 2012, 4SD has served as an alternate channel for Fox Sports San Diego for Cox and Time Warner Cable systems in San Diego County, carrying games from other teams that the regional sports network holds television rights in the event that live Padres telecasts on Fox Sports San Diego occur simultaneously as Los Angeles Clippers, Anaheim Ducks or Los Angeles Kings broadcast (which are simulcast from the latter channel's Los Angeles-based sister network Fox Sports Prime Ticket). Cox San Diego agreed to carry some games from the first season of the Fall Experimental Football League in October and November 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「4SD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
