KDSN

KDSN is the local Colorband Television affiliate for the Fresno-Tulare-Visalia, CA market, and the first Colorband-affiliated network ever. Although the Los Angeles affiliate has passed it in being the main network, it is still the network that tries out all the latest things.

== History ==
KDSN was originally launched in 1981 as KDKN. It was an independent station using a name made up by it's main director - Colorband. Little did he know that this would end up becoming a, while not as powerful as ABN or NBC, household name through the sheer testing of what a channel could be.
By 1985, some other channels in the California area had gone from independents to Colorband. By this time, the main director had decided to move Colorband to LA, and problems with a channel with the same call letters ended up renaming the station KDSN. But the story of Colorband is for a different place...
Ever since then, KDSN has enjoyed it's success. But this does not mean that it's made Visalia a popular town - the reason that the director moved operations of the TV network to Los Angeles was because he wanted the town to stay the way it was, as he liked it; ironic, for a man who single-handedly created a real popular business out of a small independent channel in the middle of nowhere.
