''[[Voice of San Diego]]'' is a non-profit online news outlet covering government, politics, education, neighborhoods, and the arts.

San Diego is also the headquarters of the national [[Far-right politics in the United States|far-right]] cable TV channel [[One America News Network|One America News Network (OANN)]], which was founded in 2013 and is owned by [[Herring Networks]]. The network gained notoriety for being ardent supporters of [[Donald Trump]] and providing a platform for [[Right-wing populism|right-wing]] [[Conspiracy Theories|conspiracy theories]].

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 [[XHCPDE-TDT|XHCPDE]] 11 ([[Canal Once (Mexico)]]), [[XETV-TDT|XETV]] 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]]), [[XEWT-TDT|XEWT]] 12 ([[Televisa Regional]]), [[KPBS (TV)|KPBS]] 15 ([[PBS]]), [[KBNT-CD]] 17 ([[Univision]]), [[XHTIT-TDT]] 21 ([[Azteca 7]]), [[XHJK-TDT]] 1 ([[Azteca Uno]]), [[XHAS-TDT|XHAS]] 33 ([[Azteca América|Azteca America]]), [[K35DG-D]] 35 ([[UCSD-TV]]), [[KDTF-LD]] 36 ([[Unimás]]), [[KNSD]] 39 ([[NBC]]), [[KUAN-LD]] 48 ([[Telemundo]]), [[KSEX-CD]] 42 (Infomercials), [[XHBJ-TDT]] 45 ([[Canal 6 (Mexico)]]), [[XHDTV-TDT|XHDTV]] 49 ([[Milenio Televisión]]), [[KUSI]] 51 (Independent), [[XHUAA-TDT]] 19 ([[Canal de las Estrellas]]), and [[KSWB-TV]] 69 ([[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]).

''[[Federal Communications Commission]]''. August 5, 1999.</ref> Though the [[E. W. Scripps Company]] owns KGTV and KZSD-LP, they are not considered a duopoly under the FCC's legal definition as common ownership between full-power and [[Low-power broadcasting|low-power]] television stations in the same market is permitted regardless of the number of stations licensed to the area. As a whole, the Mexico side of the San Diego-Tijuana market has two duopolies and one triopoly ([[Entravision Communications]] owns both [[XHAS-TV]] and XHDTV-TV, [[Azteca (multimedia company)|Azteca]] owns [[XHJK-TV]] and [[XHTIT-TV]], and [[Televisa|Grupo Televisa]] owns [[XHUAA-TV]] and [[XEWT-TDT|XEWT-TV]] along with being the license holder for XETV-TV, which was formerly managed by California-based subsidiary [[Bay City Television]]). San Diego's television market is limited to only [[San Diego County]]. The [[Imperial County, California|Imperial Valley]], including [[El Centro]], is in the [[Yuma, Arizona]] television market while neighboring [[Orange County, California|Orange]] and [[Riverside County, California|Riverside]] counties are part of the Los Angeles market. (Sometimes, in the past, a missing network affiliate in the Imperial Valley would be available on cable TV from San Diego.) As a result, San Diego is the largest single-county media market in the United States. The radio stations in San Diego include nationwide broadcaster [[iHeartMedia]]; [[Entercom Communications]], Local Media San Diego, and many other smaller stations and networks. Stations include: [[KOGO (AM)|KOGO AM 600]], [[KGB (AM)|KGB AM 760]], [[KCEO|KCEO AM 1000]], [[KCBQ|KCBQ AM 1170]], [[KPRZ|K-Praise]], [[KLSD|KLSD AM 1360]], [[KFSD|KFSD 1450 AM]], [[KPBS-FM]] 89.5, [[KHTS-FM|Channel 933]], [[KMYI|Star 94.1]], [[KBZT|FM 94/9]], [[KSSX|FM News and Talk 95.7]], [[KYDO|Q96]] 96.1, [[KYXY|KyXy]] 96.5, [[Free Radio San Diego]] (AKA [[Pirate Radio]] San Diego) 96.9FM FRSD, [[KWFN]] 97.3, [[KXSN]] 98.1, [[KFBG (FM)|Big-FM 100.7]], 101.5 [[KGB-FM]], [[KLVJ (FM)|KLVJ]] 102.1, [[KSON (FM)|KSON]] 103.7, [[KIOZ|Rock 105.3]], and another ''[[Pirate Radio]]'' station at 106.9FM, as well as a number of local Spanish-language radio stations.
