KQCA

KQCA is the MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station for Sacramento, California, USA. Licensed to Stockton, the station broadcasts a digital-only signal on UHF channel 46. KQCA's transmitter is located northeast of Walnut Grove. The station is owned by Hearst Television as part of a duopoly with NBC affiliate KCRA-TV. The two stations share studios located on Television Circle in Downtown Sacramento. KQCA is known on-air as My 58.

As a result of the duopoly, local rights to syndicated shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show and Access Hollywood are shared between KCRA and KQCA. Other shows currently airing on KQCA that are not on KCRA are Cheaters, The Office, Friends, The Jerry Springer Show, Maury, How I Met Your Mother, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Brothers & Sisters, Stargate: Universe, Stargate: Atlantis, Friends, The Simpsons, American Chopper, Deadliest Catch and That '70s Show.

From September 5, 2006 to September 21, 2009, KQCA did not follow the 8 to 10 pm primetime MyNetworkTV schedule like other affiliates of the network. Instead, the station aired network programming from 7 to 9 pm and The Oprah Winfrey Show from 9 to 10 pm leading up to the 10 pm newscast that is produced by KCRA. KQCA is the second in the market to not follow a traditional network schedule. The other station KOVR has had a 7 to 10 pm lineup since its network switch to CBS in 1995. KQCA was also one of five MyNetworkTV affiliates on the West Coast that did not follow the 8 to 10 pm scheduling. The four other stations to do this (and still do so today) are KRON-TV (which has network programming slotted from 9 to 11 pm), KEVU (Network programming slotted from 9 to 11 pm), KPDX (Network Programming also slotted from 9 to 11 pm) and KMYQ, (Now KZJO, which also aired network programming from 7 to 9 pm until September 13th, 2010, when that station moved MyNetworkTV programming to 11pm to 1am). KQCA now airs the MyNetworkTV block in pattern.
