During the 1950s, the station ran programming from all four TV networks: ABC, CBS, DuMont, and NBC.〔(TV Guide: Los Angeles Metropolitan Edition )〕 It would lose NBC in 1964 when KCOY in adjacent Santa Maria signed on, then shared CBS with KCOY until 1969, when the inclusion of San Luis Obispo County into the Santa Barbara-Santa Maria market resulted in KEYT becoming exclusively affiliated with ABC, with KCOY becoming the CBS affiliate and KSBY in San Luis Obispo also becoming Santa Barbara's NBC affiliate. KEYT operates morning, evening and nighttime newscasts. KEYT channel 3 has identified its local newscasts as ''KEY News'' since the 1980s. Between KEYT's launch of its HDTV signal on March 2007 and September 2007, KEYT-HD was initially unavailable to cable subscribers in the Central Coast, due to a contract dispute with the local cable companies. KEYT has since reached an agreement with Cox Communications in Santa Barbara, Comcast in Santa Maria, and as of late October 2007, with Charter Cable in San Luis Obispo to carry its HDTV signal, In 2012 Time Warner Cable In Ventura County Carried It's HDTV Signal. On September 7, 2012, News-Press & Gazette Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase KEYT from Smith Media for $14.3 million.〔(TV station KEYT sold to News-Press & Gazette Co. ), ''Ventura County Star'', September 6, 2012.〕〔(NPG Paying $14.3M For KEYT Santa Barbara ), ''TVNewsCheck'', September 11, 2012.〕 The transaction, which was approved by the Federal Communications Commission on November 6,〔http://licensing.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/pubacc/Auth_Files/1514499.pdf〕 was completed November 19.〔http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=1526077〕〔http://www.noozhawk.com/article/111612_santa_barbara_business_KEYT_sale_complete/〕 Smith Media owned KEYT since 1987.
