Analog-to-digital conversion

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997,^[3] the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. KKJB shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 39, instead, on or before June 12, 2009. The station "flash-cut" its digital signal into operation UHF channel 39.

On November 30, 2018, KKJB switched from channel 39 to channel 15.

Sister stations

Cocola Broadcasting also owns the following low-power stations in the Boise area:

• KBSE-LD 33
• KCBB-LD 41
• KIWB-LD 43
• KZAK-LD 49

Two other LPTV stations owned by Cocola, KKIC-LD and KEVA-LD, were sold to Bridge Media Networks^[4] and SagamoreHill Broadcasting,^[5] respectively.
