Analog-to-digital conversion
KJTL shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 18, on February 17, 2009, the original target date in which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 15.[3] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 18.

Syndicated programming on the station includes: The Martha Stewart Show, Rachael Ray, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Alex, Divorce Court, America's Funniest Home Videos, The Dr. Oz Show, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, Deal or No Deal, Everybody Loves Raymond, My Name Is Earl, The Office, Two and a Half Men, Family Guy and King of the Hill, with weekend telecasts of Cold Case, House M.D., Bones and Boston Legal.
