KCAT is the ABC affiliate serving Crescent City, California. It is owned by Confection Broadcasting, as part of a duopoly with TCN affiliate KCSC-LD.
== History ==
KCAT signed on the air on August 5, 1963. It was the first station in the Crescent City area, and the only one until then-NBC affiliate KBCC began broadcasting in 1977. 
The station's news operation began in 1979, with an 11 p.m. newscast anchored by Donny Paskowitz. A 6 p.m. newscast, titled Crescent City News Tonight (to match with the ABC World News Tonight, the network's national newscast that followed the program), was introduced in 1983.
Despite being owned locally by Crescent City Communications, KCAT's schedule was similar to that of a network-owned ABC affiliates'. The station aired syndicated shows such as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, Donahue, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. The station also produced a late-night public affairs show, Crescent City Tonight, airing weeknights at 1 a.m. The show aired from 1986 until 1991.
In 1995, Chris-Craft Industries bought KCAT, along with UPN station KCSC-LP, making the two sister stations. KCAT began producing a 5-minute news update for KCSC, airing weeknights at 10 p.m.; Northern Exposure followed at 10:05. The newscast was expanded to a full half-hour in 1997. 
In 1999, the station began its morning newscast, Good Morning Crescent City. It aired from 5:30 a.m. to 7 a.m., with an additional hour at 7 a.m. on KCSC-LP. The channel 40 edition was cancelled after eight months due to difficulty competing with network morning shows, and was replaced with infomercials. 
The KCSC 10 p.m. newscast was expanded to one hour in 2003 after The Caroline Rhea Show, which had been airing at 10:30 p.m. the past year, was cancelled. 
After Oprah ended in 2011, KCAT premiered CC Live, an hour-long lifestyle show airing in the 4 p.m. slot. In 2014, it was shortened to 30 minutes for ABC 7 News First @ 4:30. 
Current syndicated programming seen on KCAT includes Live with Kelly and Ryan, Rachael Ray, The Dr. Oz Show, and Storage Wars.
