KKFX-CD (channel 24) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to San Luis Obispo, California, United States, serving the Central Coast of California as an affiliate of the Fox network. It is owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company (NPG) alongside Santa Barbara–licensed ABC/CBS affiliate KEYT-TV (channel 3); NPG also provides certain services to Santa Maria–licensed Telemundo affiliate KCOY-TV (channel 12) under a shared services agreement (SSA) with owner VistaWest Media, LLC. KKFX-CD and KCOY-TV share studios at West McCoy Lane and Skyway Drive in Santa Maria north of Santa Maria Public Airport; KEYT-TV maintains separate facilities on Miramonte Drive on TV Hill, overlooking downtown Santa Barbara. KKFX-CD's transmitter is located near Serrano and US 101 in the Los Padres National Forest. The station can be seen on channel 11 on most cable systems in the market, hence the Fox 11 branding.

Although KKFX-CD identifies as a station in its own right, it is officially licensed as a translator of KCOY-TV. In addition to its own digital signal, KKFX-CD is simulcast in high definition on KCOY-TV's second digital subchannel from a transmitter on Tepusquet Peak in the Los Padres National Forest east of Santa Maria. KCOY-TV, in turn, is simulcast on KKFX-CD's second digital subchannel.
