In 2016, the station signed an affiliation agreement with Weigel Broadcasting to air Heroes & Icons on digital subchannel 10.3. The affiliation agreement transferred to Hearst-owned KQCA in 2018, leaving KXTV without any programming on 10.3 and creating an unusual gap in the digital subchannel numbering scheme that lasted more than a year. The following year, KXTV-DT3 affiliated with Bounce TV, a network that was already carried on KUVS in the Sacramento–Stockton–Modesto market. While KUVS offers a standard definition feed of Bounce, KXTV's feed is in full 1080i high definition and is received in portions of the Sacramento market where a signal from KUVS, based in Modesto, isn't available.
