  • KEYT-TV is the ABC-affiliated television station for the Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and San Luis Obispo, California areas. Licensed to Santa Barbara, California the station broadcasts on digital UHF channel 27 and uses VHF channel 3 as its virtual channel. KEYT's transmitter is located on top of Broadcast Peak, located between Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez, California in the Santa Ynez Mountains. KEYT is owned and operated by Smith Media, LLC. KEYT's studios are located at 730 Miramonte Dr. on TV Hill, overlooking downtown Santa Barbara. KEYT operates the area's MyNetwork TV affiliate on its DT2 digital subchannel, branded as MyRTN. It is also offered on Central Coast cable systems on channel 13. MyRTN clears the entire MyNetwork TV programming schedule and airs programming from Retro Television Network, as well as a few syndicated shows. During the 1950s, the station ran programming from all four TV networks: ABC, CBS, DuMont, and NBC . KEYT operates morning, afternoon, and evening newscasts. KEYT channel 3 has identified itself as KEY News since the 1980s. In the ratings game, KEYT is number one in ratings for late news. Between KEYT's launch of its HDTV signal on March 2007 and September 2007, KEYT-HD was unavailable to cable subscribers in the Central Coast, due to a contract dispute with the local cable companies. KEYT has since reached an agreement with Cox Communications in Santa Barbara and Comcast in Santa Maria in providing its HDTV signal to them. As of late October 2007, KEYT reached an agreement with Charter Cable in San Luis Obispo to carry its HDTV signal. Present Personalities Jim Bunner (News Director) Jessica Beck (Exec.
