About us

Based in Chula Vista, KSDY50 is the only independent minority-owned broadcasting company governed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the South Bay region. The broadcast transmitter sits atop Mount San Miguel, located in beautiful Chula Vista, California.

This vantage point extends the signal to the City of Oceanside* to the north, the City of Alpine to the east, and southbound of the region in Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico.

With the vision of maximizing free television in every household and affording access to all of San Diego, KSDY50 has secured strategic partnerships with our affiliate networks: Nuestra Visión, Retro TV, Heartland, and Sintesis TV.

This collaborative effort ensures delivery of high-quality programming to our diverse viewership.

Situated in one of the world’s busiest borders, San Diego and Tijuana, B.C., we sought the opportunity to be a trusted source of information on border dynamics. This led to the deployment of KSDY Noticias newscast in April of 2022, a strategic initiative aimed at fostering a greater understanding and connection with our binational audience through KSDY’s local Spanish news broadcasts.

KSDY Noticias, recently achieved a remarkable milestone by winning their first Emmy Award within their inaugural year. This exceptional recognition was bestowed upon the network for their outstanding report titled “El arte estigmatizado, un ángel DRAG“.

“El arte estigmatizado, un ángel DRAG” garnered immense praise and recognition for its insightful storytelling and compelling visuals. The report offered a fresh perspective on the art world, provoking discussions about inclusivity and the power of artistic expression.

The Emmy Award serves as a testament to the exceptional journalism exhibited by the KSDY Noticias team. Their dedication to providing engaging, thought-provoking content in their first year of operation has not only captivated audiences but also earned them critical acclaim within the industry.

As KSDY Noticias embarks on their journey, this Emmy Award marks just the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable legacy in the world of journalism

We are proud to announce that “La Voz de la Metamorfosis, la travesía transgénero”  has been honored with a Telly Award, recognizing excellence in video and television across all screens. This powerful and deeply personal narrative sheds light on the experiences, challenges, and resilience of transgender individuals, offering a moving and authentic perspective on gender identity and transformation.

This recognition by the Telly Awards encourages us to keep pushing boundaries, creating content that fosters empathy, understanding, and social change.
