K17HC was previously a UPN affiliate before that network shut down in 2006. Upon the 2009 DTV transition, the station continued to operate, as low-power television stations were not required to convert to digital broadcasting yet. At some point in 2013, K17HC became a full-time repeater of Anchorage-based KYES-TV. As of 2017, K17HC no longer appears in the FCC database,[1] though KCBJ-LP continues to translate KYES-TV under its current Gray Television ownership.[2]
