History

A construction permit was filed on February 20, 2009, by Mirage Media for KOTR-LD, a digital translator of Monterey's MyNetworkTV affiliate KOTR-LP on channel 41. On August 10, 2010, Mirage Media filed to change the channel allocation to channel 11 to avoid interference with San Jose-based KKPX-TV. On March 15, 2018, the station was acquired by Diya TV, Inc. and changed its call sign to KAAP-LD. It began airing the Diya TV network on June 1. Later in 2018, VietBay programming was added to its second digital subchannel, and on January 1, 2019, NewsNet was added to a third subchannel.
Because of the digital television repack, KAAP-LD's owner applied to the Federal Communications Commission to move its digital broadcast channel to 24, its city of license to San Jose–Santa Clara, California, and its transmitter site to Monument Peak to serve the San Francisco Bay Area.

The station's signal is multiplexed:
