History
KSJT was lanched on June 5th, 1974 and immediately became an NBC affiliate. Owned by Hightower Communications, KSJT became the first station licensed in San Jose. When NBC became the doldrums of the ratings, KSJT saw their ratings sank to the bottom of the Bay Area. Having enough of losing money, Hightower Communications sold KSJT to MT Communications in 1982. What Hightower Communications missed out on was about two years later, NBC's ratings began to improve, and with that, so did KSJT as they became the no. 1 station in the Bay Area by 1985. KSJT stayed no. 1 until 1993, but quickly became no. 1 in the market again in 1994 thanks to NBC's hit lineup. However, when NBC started falling in 2004, KSJT saw themselves once again in last place. Meanwhile, after being bought out by Walt Disney Company to become ABC, Inc. Frank Smith, Jr. (whose father helped founded the original Capital Cities Communications) decided to relaunch Capital Cities and made it his creation. So in 2006, KSJT was bought by CapCities.

Newscast
Launched in 1975, NBC 25 News had a rough start, finishing in the bottom of the news division race in the Bay Area, Finally in 1985, when NBC became the no. 1 network, NBC 25 News started winning, and they kept winning until 2009 when NBC moved Jay Leno to 10 PM before the 11 PM newscast. Because of that, NBC 25 News' ratings plummeted to the bottom and haven't finished higher than 4th since 2012.
