 K07TA began as a translator of then-independent station KCSO 19 (now KUVS-DT in the Sacramento, California area) based in Modesto in the 1970s and 1980s.KTAS shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 33, on February 17, 2009, the original target date in which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009).The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 34.
