KVFA

KVFA is a UPN affiliate serving Yreka, Montague, Weed, Mount Shasta and the surrounding areas across Siskiyou County, California. Broadcasting on channel 20, KVFA is owned and operated by Gannett Communications. The station was founded in 1968 by Kaiser Broadcasting as an independent, and it remained an independent until 1995 when they became an affiliate of UPN. Kaiser sold the station Field Communications in 1977, who in turn sold KVFA to United Television in 1994. In 2000, Oakhurst Broadcasting purchased KVFA from United Television. On Jan. 30, 2016, it was announced that Island Television, as well as Higgins Broadcasting, and Oakhurst Broadcasting, were merging into Adelphia Communications. So Oakhurst Broadcasting had to sell the station, and the station was sold to Evans Communications. On May 17, 2017, KVFA was sold to Gannett Communications.
