San Diego's first television station was [[KFMB-TV|KFMB]], which began broadcasting on May 16, 1949.<ref name="KFMBTV">{{cite news|last=Stigall|first=Gary|title=KFMB-TV Turns 50|publisher=Society of Broadcast Engineers Chapter 36 San Diego|date=May 3, 1999|url=http://www.sbe36.org/1999/0509_kfmbtv50.html|access-date=April 22, 2009}}</ref> Since the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) licensed seven television stations in Los Angeles, two [[VHF]] channels were available for San Diego because of its relative proximity to the larger city. In 1952, however, the FCC began licensing [[UHF]] channels, making it possible for cities such as San Diego to acquire more stations. Stations based in Mexico (with [[ITU prefix]]es of XE and XH) also serve the San Diego market. Television stations today include [[XHJK-TDT]] 1 ([[Azteca Uno]]), [[XETV-TDT]] 6 ([[Canal 5 (Mexico)|Canal 5]]/[[Nueve (Mexican TV network)|Nueve]]), [[KFMB-TV|KFMB]] 8 ([[CBS]], with [[The CW]]/[[MyNetworkTV|MNTV]] on DT2), [[KGTV]] 10 ([[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]), [[XHCPDE-TDT|XHCPDE]] 11 ([[Canal Once (Mexico)|Once]]), [[XEWT-TDT|XEWT]] 12 ([[Televisa Regional]]), [[KPBS (TV)|KPBS]] 15 ([[PBS]]), [[KBNT-CD]] 17 ([[Univision]]), [[XHTIT-TDT]] 21 ([[Azteca 7]]), [[XHAS-TDT]] 33 ([[XHILA-TDT|Canal 66]]), [[KDTF-LD]] 36 ([[Unimás]]), [[KNSD]] 39 ([[NBC]]), [[KSKT-CD]] 43 ([[Estrella TV]]), [[XHBJ-TDT]] 45 (Canal 45 PSN), [[KUAN-LD]] 48 ([[Telemundo]]), [[XHDTV-TDT]] 49 ([[Canal 6 (Mexico)|Canal 6]]), [[KUSI]] 51 ([[Independent station|Independent]]), [[XHUAA-TDT]] 57 ([[El Canal de las Estrellas]]), and  [[KSWB-TV]] 69 ([[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]).

Due to the ratio of U.S. and Mexican-licensed stations, San Diego is the largest [[media market]] in the United States that is legally unable to support a [[Duopoly (broadcasting)|television station duopoly]] between two full-power stations under [[Federal Communications Commission|FCC]] regulations, which disallow duopolies in metropolitan areas with fewer than nine full-power television stations and require that there would be eight unique station owners that remain once a duopoly is formed (there are only seven full-power stations on the California side of the San Diego-Tijuana market).<ref>[http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Mass_Media/News_Releases/1999/nrmm9019.html "FCC revives local television ownership rules"]. ''[[Federal Communications Commission]]''. August 5, 1999.</ref> As a whole, the Mexico side of the San Diego-Tijuana market has two duopolies and one triopoly ([[Entravision Communications]] owns XHDTV-TV, [[Azteca (multimedia company)|Azteca]] owns [[XHJK-TV]] and [[XHTIT-TV]], and [[Televisa|Grupo Televisa]] owns [[XETV-TDT|XETV-TV]], [[XHUAA-TV]] and [[XEWT-TDT|XEWT-TV]]. 

San Diego's television market is limited to only [[San Diego County]]. As a result, San Diego is the largest single-county media market in the United States.
