From The TV IV

KSWB-TV is the FOX affiliate for San Diego, California, a full service television station broadcasting over the air on digital channel 19, displayed on tuners as virtual 69. It appears on San Diego's cable systems on channel 5, thus the "Fox 5" branding. The only notation of 69 used on the air is at the start of their 10 PM news, when the "69" in their on-screen station bug dissolves into a "5."

Originally pencilled in to start in 1983 as KSDT, channel 69 started in 1984 as independent KTTY. It became an affiliate of The WB network in 1995 and was renamed KSWB by Tribune, which took ownership at that time. In 2006, KSWB became a CW affiliate after the WB and UPN shut down their operations and merged. KSWB aired a 10PM newscast produced and staffed by NBC affiliate KNSD, channel 39. When KSWB switched to Fox, their news became in-house produced.

On August 1, 2008, KSWB-TV switched to the FOX network, obtaining it from XETV/channel 6.

While the original shutoff date for analog TV was extended to June 12, 2009, KSWB chose to shut theirs off on the original date of February 17, 2009. KFMB/channel 8 (CBS), and KGTV/channel 10 (ABC) shut theirs off as well.

Some tuners are acquiring KSWB's virtual channel as 5 (its cable position), which would create a possible conflict with KTLA in Los Angeles (digital 31, virtual 5) in the north fringes of the San Diego market where it joins with the Los Angeles market.
