==KSBT-DT2 history==
In early 2005, KSBT debuted its localized version of NBC Weather Plus, branded as KSBT Weather Plus on its second digital subchannel. NBC's national Weather Plus operations were shut down on December 1, 2008, after the network's parent company NBCUniversal purchased The Weather Channel. However, KSBT continued to use the L-bar graphics while changing the local forecast frequency to eight times per hour. KSBT's Prime Plus programming block debuted on August 2, 2010, although it is broadcast Monday through Friday nights during prime time. Prime+ consisted of repeat of the 6:00 p.m. newscast, Access Hollywood, Dr. Phil, Oprah and a 10:00 p.m. newscast. KSBT Weather Plus continued to air on the subchannel during the time that Prime Plus was not on the air.
KSBT-DT2 and its Central affiliation launched on April 18, 2011, branding as "North Coast Central." This marks a return of the Central affiliation to the immediate North Coast market in 42 years after KSBT dropped the secondary affiliation. Before KSBT-DT2's launch, Central formerly served the area by a feed of Sacramento-based KMOV for four decades.
