Originally, KBNI-LD was a translator of ABC affiliate KEYT (channel 3) from Santa Barbara serving the Santa Maria Valley from the mid 1950s to the late 1990s.

KBNI-LD simulcasts the radio shows, offers local news and weather, entertainment programming and serves as an "MTV" digital over-the-air affiliate, playing music videos and re-airing some of the original MTV VJ shows.

On March 30, 2023, Bridge Media Networks, the parent company of NewsNet and Sports News Highlights (SNH) (backed by 5-hour Energy creator Manoj Bhargava), announced it would acquire the then-KKDJ-LD and six other Cocola stations for $3.2 million. [3] Upon completion of the transaction, KKDJ-LD will become one of Bhargava's two TV station properties in the Santa Barbara–Santa Maria–San Luis Obispo media market.

The station changed its call sign to KBNI-LD on July 20, 2023.
