===Ownership with KSBW===
From 1957 to 1996, the station was a sister station to [[KSBW]] channel 8 in [[Salinas, California|Salinas]], which is why the station currently has a similar [[call signs in North America|call sign]]. From 1957 to 1979, KSBY was largely a [[broadcast relay station#Semi-satellites|semi-satellite]] of KSBW, with the exception of local commercials, its local newscasts, some syndicated programs, and preempting CBS network shows also carried by [[KCOY]] in adjacent Santa Maria, once it began operation in 1964. During this period, the KSBY sales office was located at co-owned Sonic Cable, and its local programming originated at the transmitter site. In 1960, ABC programming was effectively dropped when KSBW lost its affiliation with that network to [[KNTV]] in [[San Jose, California|San Jose]]. Finally, in 1969, KSBY became the sole NBC station for both [[San Luis Obispo County, California|San Luis Obispo]] and [[Santa Barbara County, California|Santa Barbara]] counties when they were consolidated into a single market (with [[Santa Barbara, California|Santa Barbara]]-based–based [[KEYT-TV|KEYT]] as the ABC affiliate). KSBY and KSBW were acquired by Blair Broadcasting in 1979, at which time KSBY became a free-standing station. The stations were sold to [[George N. Gillett, Jr.|Gillett Communications]] in 1986.

In 2006, the station was featured in an episode of ''[[The Surreal Life#Season 6|The Surreal Life]]'', in which the cast of the reality-based series were hired as anchors and reporters for the station's 6:30&nbsp;p.m. newscast.

==Central Coast CW (KSBY-DT2)==
'''KSBY-DT2''' is the [[The CW|CW]]-affiliated second [[digital subchannel]] of KSBY, broadcasting in [[720p]] [[high-definition television|high definition]] on channel 6.2. All programming on KSBY-DT2 is received through The CW's programming feed for smaller media markets, [[The CW Plus]], which provides a set schedule of syndicated programming acquired by The CW for broadcast during time periods outside of the network's regular programming hours; however, Scripps handles local advertising and promotional services for the subchannel. KSBY-DT2 carries the entire CW network schedule, although it preempts a half-hour of syndicated programming carried by the CW Plus source feed (usually consisting of off-network sitcoms) each night in order to carry a 10:00&nbsp;p.m. newscast produced by its parent station.
