KEYT-TV is the ABC-affiliated television station for the Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and San Luis Obispo, California areas. Licensed to Santa Barbara, California the station broadcasts on analog VHF channel 3 and digital UHF channel 27. KEYT's transmitter is located on top of Broadcast Peak, located between Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez, California in the Santa Ynez Mountains. KEYT is owned and operated by Smith Media, LLC. KEYT's studios are located at 730 Miramonte Dr. on TV Hill, overlooking downtown Santa Barbara.
KEYT operates the area's MyNetwork TV affiliate on its DT2 digital subchannel. It is also offered on Central Coast cable systems on channel 13. KEYT-DT2 clears the entire MyNetwork TV programming schedule and airs programming from Retro Television Network, as well as a few syndicated shows.
During the 1950s, the station ran programming from all four TV networks: ABC, CBS, DuMont, and NBC . KEYT operates morning, afternoon, and evening newscasts. KEYT channel 3 has identified themeselves as KEY News since the 1980s. In the ratings game, KEYT is in third place behind KSBY and KCOY.
Between KEYT's launch of its HDTV broadcast on March 2007 and September 2007, KEYT's HD broadcast was unavailable to cable subscribers in the Central Coast, due to a contract dispute with the local cable companies. KEYT has since reached an agreement with Cox Communications in Santa Barbara and Comcast in Santa Maria in providing its HDTV broadcast to them.
As of late October 2007, KEYT reached an agreement with Charter Cable in San Luis Obispo to carry its HDTV signal.

Programming
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
| Channel | Programming |
|---|---|
| 3.1 / 27.1 | Main KEYT programming / ABC HD |
| 3.2 / 27.2 | MyNetworkTV / Retro Television Network |
KEYT picked up the MyNetworkTV affilitaton on June 2006 and initially showed only MyNetworkTV programming, and a test pattern the rest of the time. By Fall 2007, the station had managed to obtain syndication broadcast rights to Family Guy and South Park, and officially launched its DT2 subchannel branded as "MyNetworkTV Central Coast" on October 2007, replacing Los Angeles-based MyNetworkTV affiliate KCOP channel 13 on all Central Coast cable systems.
Initially, the channel also simulcasted the SD version of KEYT outside of MyNetwork TV programming. As of October 30, 2007, it has picked up the Retro Television Network affiliation and broadcasts RTN programming outside of MyNetwork TV. It has subsequently changed its branding to "My RTN" to coincide with the new affiliation.
Rebroadcast Stations
KEYT also operates two translators to extend its coverage area. It operates a repeater station in San Luis Obispo, K57BC, on channel 57, and KSBB-LP, a Class A television station, in downtown Santa Barbara, on UHF channel 17. KSBB-LP is located at KEYT's studios and broadcasts a directional signal to downtown Santa Barbara. The station initially rebroadcast KKFX-CA from its sign-on until July 1, 2006, when KKFX-CA terminated the agreement for the station to rebroadcast its programming. The station has since been a repeater station for KEYT.
None of KEYT's two translators operate digital signals as of yet.
