History
The station was first established in 1998 as KMCF-LP.
In 2000, Cocola Broadcasting acquired the call letters KJEO-LP for channel 32, after Fresno's CBS affiliate discarded those calls in favor of KGPE. This call sign was changed to KJEO-LD in September 2009.
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 KJEO-LD and six other Cocola stations for $3.2 million.[3] Upon completion of the transaction, KJEO-LD will become a NewsNet owned-and-operated station for the Fresno–Visalia media market.

- KJEO-LD broadcasts from the Corlew Meadows ("Meadow Lakes") towers location near Auberry, CA (37.073838 -119.432075).
- Older, Fresno-area-based terrestrial tuners may/may not receive the Channel 39 broadcast(s). Sensitive terrestrial tuners may reduce tropospheric propagation effects through lowering floor noise, and inadvertently mask one lower-power channel set (i.e. KJEO-LD) and enhance another (i.e. KSDI-LD).
