Technical information
Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed:
Analog-to-digital conversion
Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997, the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. KKJB shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 39, instead, on or before June 12, 2009. The station "flash-cut" its digital signal into operation UHF channel 39.
On November 30, 2018, KKJB switched from channel 39 to channel 15.
Sister stations
Cocola Broadcasting also owns the following low-power stations in the Boise area:

KCBB-LD 41

Two other LPTV stations owned by Cocola, KKIC-LD and KEVA-LD, were sold to Bridge Media Networks and SagamoreHill Broadcasting, respectively.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
