KTNC-TV, over-the-air channel 42, is an Azteca America affiliate in Concord, California, serving the Sacramento and San Francisco areas. It is owned by Pappas Telecasting and has a kW power of 2240 over the air.

Programming on KTNC can also be seen in Mendocino County on KUNO-TV channel 8, licensed in Fort Bragg.

The station began broadcasting in 1983 as KFCB, a Christian-broadcasting station owned by Family Christian Broadcasting (the initials in the company formed the station's original call letters). At that time, its president was Rev. Ronn Haus. A majority of its programming was devoted to Christian programming, including its own in-house productions. The flagship program was called "California Tonight", a Christian variety show with sermons, conversations with religious topics, and musical guests (the station utilized a recycled audience track to give the show a feel of a variety show). In addition, Channel 42 occasionally aired public domain movies and CNN Headline News. The station was also viewer-supported.

A few years later, Haus and other partners decided to form a national Christian network called United Christian Broadcasting, in which KFCB was to be its flagship station. The purpose was for the station's programming to be spread to a nationwide audience just like other Christian networks such as Trinity Broadcasting Network and 3ABN. The venture would prove to be a financial disaster, and by 1996 Haus was forced to sell the station to Pappas Telecasting. When it became a Spanish-language station, Haus disappeared completely (he has not been heard from since).

Today Channel 42 is known as KTNC-TV and remains a Spanish-language station.
