Public license information

KAXT-CD (channel 1) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to both San Francisco and San Jose, California, United States,[1] broadcasting the digital multicast network Catchy Comedy to the San Francisco Bay Area. It is owned and operated by Weigel Broadcasting alongside Palo Alto–licensed Heroes & Icons outlet KTLN-TV (channel 68). The two stations share studios on Pelican Way in San Rafael, and transmitter facilities on Mount Allison.

Due to its low-power status, KAXT-CD's broadcasting radius does not reach all of the San Francisco Bay Area. Because of that, its market affiliation is shared with KICU-TV (channel 36) which broadcasts Catchy Comedy on its fourth digital subchannel.
