KAAP-LD is a low-power television station licensed to Santa Cruz, California, United States, airing DiyaTV on subchannel .1, VietBay Vietnamese programming on subchannel .5, and NewsNet, a 24-hour news channel on subchannel .7 in the San Jose area. The station broadcasts on VHF digital channel 11 (or virtual channel 24 via PSIP). Owned by Diya TV, Inc, KAAP-LD is headquartered on Walsh Avenue in Santa Clara, with its transmitter located on Loma Prieta, south of San Jose.

History

A construction permit was filed on February 20, 2009 by Mirage Media for KOTR-LD, a digital translator of Monterey's MyNetworkTV affiliate KOTR-LP (channel 2) on channel 41.^[1] On August 10, 2010, Mirage Media filed to change the channel allocation to channel 11 to avoid interference with San Jose-based KKPX-TV.^[2] On March 15, 2018, the station was acquired by Diya TV Inc and turned into KAAP-LD.^[3] It began airing DiyaTV on June 1. Later in 2018, VietBay programming was added to its second digital subchannel, and on January 1, 2019, NewsNet was added to a third subchannel.

Future

Because of the digital television repack, KAAP-LD's owner applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to move its digital broadcast channel to 24, its city of license to San Jose-Santa Clara, California, and its transmitter site to Monument Peak to serve the San Francisco Bay Area.^[4]
