So KOFY 20 TV is changing their format, again. I started watching Creature Features every Sat night during covid. But then you punted and changed to all westerns in 2022. Looks like this week, you're changing to Dr Phil, blah, blah, blah. I guess the all western format didn't work out well for you. read more

I am feeling terrible as of this review that KOFY TV is permanently going away and instead it is featuring a channel with 24/7 westerns. That means no more Steve Wilkos or Jerry Springer. Or other variety programs that were on their station plus the replays of ABC7 news in the evenings. I think the programming management is doing a bad thing as they can easily broadcast this channel on a digital sub channel and still keep the main station. My husband also is already not happy with this change. What was a good thing is now a bad and I don't think I would watch Western's programming 24 hours a day. MeTV, Antenna TV and Movies TV are all broadcast on sub channels without an impact to the main channels. Hell, Kron 4 can be generic with their programming at times with shows at night and so forth but at least they are still there! So good bye Kofy TV. We will miss you and even the cute local commercials featuring the dogs. At least Chabot College is airing Creature Features now and it sucks no more Dance Party. read more

Like most of the reviews. I don't know why you can no longer get KOFY TV 20 over the air for free. I bought two different antennas and neither one will pull in the signal. I was not able to get NBC either but with the newer antenna I was able to get that and I think it's partner COZI. But no KOFY TV 20. I live in SF right on Arguello north of Golden Gate Park. I don't want to pay extra money for the TV in the bedroom because I really don't watch TV in there unless I'm not feeling well. I guess I don't need KOFY after all. I just hope their advertisers realize that they are mainly only reaching cable subscribers. read more

I miss the days when KOFY was owned by Granite Broadcasting. I miss Moris Knight on Dance Party, ABC 7 news at 9 pm, and DJ Katie. Since they moved into the ABC7 building, I no longer get them over the air. This is because I've never been able to get ABC7 over the air. This is a common issue that most people in the Bay Area have. The only way I can get KOFY is by using locast. This isn't an issue with KOFY specifically however. I have a hard time getting KPIX as well. That's because of the spectrum change that happened earlier this year (with sutro tower). I can get it in my bedroom, but not my living room. I hope they plan to make new episodes of Dance Party once the pandemic is over. read more

What the heck happen to KOFY TV???? I've tried to tune in, but there's never a signal. This is the same for other 20.x channels. We live in Berkeley, CA; the signal has completely disappeared. Is it no longer on the air. What damn shame. read more

We were very happy with the TV 20 lineup. Then you had to put on 24 hour western movies and ruined everything. We have been watching the talk shows for a long time and now nothing ( we are 69-70 years old) We have searched for the other programs and can't find them. We ARE NOT FANS OF WESTERNS!!!!!!!! As far as we are concerned you ruined a good thing, with garbage. Not happy anymore read more

I would love to see you back on tv ! Please hurry back. I just loved our local dog's on your station through-out the day.

I was totally shocked today to learn KOFY TV did not renew their contract with 20.2 I did not watch a lot of these programs when they were originally on and so very disappointed. What happened for you to make this choice? So sad! read more

Thank heavens for my double dose of Perry Mason. It keeps me sane. I love Celeste Perry as a host too. KOFY provides very entertaining programming. Please keep up the good work! read more

They cut out 1/4 of the movie for commercials. I know that they need to make a profit but this is ridiculous. I will watch if nothing else is on. read more

TV 20's business decisions just get dumber. Not only did they dump MeTV and lose thousands of viewers, now they move their transmitter to Mt. San Bruno and make their off-air signal too weak to receive with indoor antennas. More thousands of viewers lost! Insane! read more

if you grew up in the bay area like i did you definitely remember kofy tv 20. i'm so glad i can say it's back for those of us that missed it and to make new fans of this generation. unfortunately it was off the air for over 10 years and was the wb but i'm really glad to see the change for the best. it still has that low budget look and feel to it but you gotta love it. hopefully in time they have have even much more to offer like the return of dance party, dining for dollars, smell o vision and so much more. it's already been nice to see the return of the dogs and the yule log for christmas. so far the programming is a little slow but i look forward to some really good things. kofy finally found who let the dogs out and brought them all back on the air. pros- free weavers kofy coffee the streets of san francisco perry mason retro night the contests no name the love for the bay area fans cons- too much paid programing right now house of payne according to jim my wife and kids jerry springer I LOVE YOU KOFY TV20:) read more

KOFY TV 20 - Television Stations Near Me - San Francisco, California

About a year ago, my guy saw and ad from this station requesting pictures of dogs for their commercials. He fondly remembered the dog commercials from years ago, and immediately sent in a picture of our pooch. We didn't hear anything for almost a year.... A few weeks ago, we received an email, and were set up with an appointment to come in to film a commercial. We were a little nervous that our dog would behave, and not get too excited. I'm happy and proud to say, he was a little rock star! The camera man, and the other guy we dealt with were awesome. They were really good with our little dude, encouraging, and super friendly and nice. It was such a great experience! The commercial airs for the first time next week (Feb. 16 @ 8pm), and will be in rotation for about a month and a half. ****Also, the women's bathroom was IMMACULATE.**** read more

I finally convinced my boyfriend to come to the station with me yesterday but it wasn't for Dance Party. We took part in a taping for Creepy KOFY Movie Time and had a great time. Though we were fifteen minutes late, we found a spot in the station lot(this is NOT an option during DP tapings.) With grocery bag of snacks in tow, we then headed to the studio. We were treated to classic rock and blues by house band The Deadlies, the hilarity of hosts Balrok and No-Name(off-camera, these guys are down-to-earth and super-cool), and witnessed local talents including several stand-up comedians, Chin-Chin the Magician, a dancer from the Hubba Hubba Revue, and dancers from the Lusty Lady. It was a day of laughs and fun. As usual, the KOFY staff and the crowd was friendly, giving the whole experience an intimate family party feel. KOFY really is "local just like you"! read more

I am so sorry that METV tv station is not being renewed. This is the only station that my husband and I truly enjoyed watching. We can not afford to pay the extra cost for Uverse or Xfinity stations, and have been very happy with the MeTV programs on our local broadcast station. Perry Mason, Matlock, Gunsmoke, Carol Burnet, Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone, Mash, Momma's Family, and so many more of the oldies but still enjoyed the reruns. We are truly missing METV. read more

KOFY TV 20 should be reported to the FCC. Regulations state that all TV stations need to broadcast their programs over the air. Since their Over-the-air broadcasts are so weak that indoor antennas cannot pick up the signal, that alone should forfeit their license. read more

YOU PLAY STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION!!! Woooo-Hoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You get 5 STARS in my book baby! Keep it up OK?!?!?!?! NEVER STOP PLAYING ST:TNG & you will be Forever Loved!!!!!!!! Seriously! Week nights at 11pm! I'm there!!!! Heheheh. (I'm sure the rest of your programming is swell, tho I must admit I have yet to check it out. I'm too stuck on ST!!!) (= Thanks. :D read more

Due to the thieves at Comcast who seem to enjoy jacking up prices for no discernible reason, I recently downgraded my cable subscription. And there I was one day, Netflix tapped out, at a loss of what to do. Read a book? Bah. Flipping through the channels, I found a Mexican version of American Idol, Chinese softcore cable porn, a number of newscasts, and... KOFY? Before long I was hooked. The local celebrity hosts, neat homegrown programming, local dog bumpers, and classic shows are awesome, and I don't miss my other 180 channels at all. Do yourself a favor: stick it to the cable man, downgrade your service, and watch KOFY. You'll be glad you did. read more

I came here with friends for the Kofy Dance Party taping. The station has a number of parking spots up front, and there's also a good amount of parking in a nearby public storage garage as well as on Kansas. (Btw--and we found this out the hard way--if you're coming for Dance Party, I wouldn't recommend parking near the entrance. The line ends up behind your car, and you have to wait for people to go into the next taping in order to back out. Park by the far driveway if you can). The staff was fantastic. They took pictures of those waiting in line, and once we were inside, they offered free water. The host was really friendly on and off camera, and the crew was very accessible as well. They clearly love their jobs and want to be there. Plus, how many stations offer this kind of opportunity to local folks? It definitely attracted a lot of fun people, so waiting in line was enjoyable as well (checking out everyone's 80s attire=win). I'll definitely be going back. read more

A year ago I would've given KOFY a solid 3 rating, based solely on the Saturday night awesomeness that was Creepy KOFY Movie Time. But now that my favorite show has dropped off the face of the Earth with no information or explanation from KOFY, guess what? One star. It's a pretty strange programming choice to A) not show re-runs of what's got to be one of the only money-making shows on your network, which you own and so would presumably cost nothing to air, and instead show B-grade movies between seasons of CKMT which I would guess you have to pay some sort of licensing fee to show; and B) to just drop the show with no word of explanation. Can I get a job there? I don't know how to run a TV station either! read more

KOFY really lets the viewer take control of the station! Anything you want, they will play it! Its amazing! I love the DOGS, Creep KOFY Movie Time, and the vintage shows! One suggestion: Bring Back Dance Party!!!!! Thanks KOFY! read more

So pleased to see this station back on the air. Yeah, it is a bit homespun but it is a treat to watch all the old shows I remember growing up. I also like the idea that viewers can vote for a show to be placed in the schedule for the month. That is really great! Good to see James Gabbert. He really took a lot of pride and care in building the TV station and was the manager of the radio station K101 back in the 1970's. Our City needs more dedicated and concerned people like James. It is so easy to forget how important it is to have local media. Stay on the air TV 20, San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area needs you. read more

MeTV was the only channel I watched, as there is NO decent programming available (reality tv is a joke and that's about all that's on other channels). I even put up with the excessive commercials because the programming on MeTV was so good. The channel you replaced MeTV with must not charge you anything for your affiliation since it doesn't look like they pay anything for their programming (IT SUCKS!!!). COZI tv ran a second to MeTv with their programming and I have gone to your competition for my viewing pleasure. Please let me know if you listen to your viewers and renew your affiliation with MeTV. Really can't believe you did this. EDIT: Below says it all. On October 30, 2017, the station entered into a channel sharing agreement with KCNZ-CD (channel 28); concurrently, Granite Broadcasting agreed to sell the KOFY-TV license to Stryker Media 2, a sister company to KCNZ-CD owner Poquito Mas Communications, for $6 million; Stryker Media 2 is a subsidiary of CNZ Communications. read more

I thought I should chime in as well. I was really disappointed with the loss of METV but I still used to enjoy other programs on KOFY. Unfortunately I have not been able to get the signal for a couple months now. I agree, it seems that some poor decisions are being made. read more

Nothing personal against your current program Creature Feature and the host. Actually I like him but since you cancelled Creepy KOFY Movie Time I watch CF very infrequently. CKMT showed terrible movies but so what CKMT had those lovable nerds Balrock and No Name, the Cave Girls(!), the Deadlies, weekly special guests. No explanation which shows that KOFY could give a rat's patootie and respect to it's viewers. People need to be fired I am afraid to say or at least transferred to the mailroom. read more

I don't think your station has enough advertising, I almost got to see a solid two minutes of one of your movies before the obligatory 10 minutes of advertising, someone there is falling down on the job !! read more

Bummed about losing MeTV, No Jim West, or the vintage live cartoon shows I didn't watch when I was a kid. No Svengoolie or lost in space, what is an old guy to do on Saturday night? Go out and get a life? Go to bars, drink, watch live Surf or Metal bands, hide from the cops, hangovers, jail, general ruin and depravity? I hope KOFY-2 can figure out how to get Me back. The clown show is o.k., Creature Features is alright and seems to have a lot of local effort working in it. Some of the other newer local programs can be tedious and preachy. It will be good to be getting more sleep and spending less time watching the tube. read more

I e-mailed KOFY to inquire why their signal level had dropped recently to the point of uselessness. No answer, of course, but another reviewer revealed that they had moved their transmitting antenna. This is the very question I asked, but nobody bothered to answer. However, KOFY (20.2) is demonstrating another of the wonders of digital TV several nights a week: hour after hour of a frozen picture and no audio. I guess nobody works at night because the situation is usually resolved after 7:00 AM when (I guess) somebody wanders into work. THIS TV doesn't care either; as KOFY doesn't acknowledge e-mail from would-be viewers, I thought THIS might be interested. Nope. This is just a guess, but I suppose KOFY pays whatever THIS fees are whether the scheduled programs are shown or not. It would be cheaper and less frustrating to buy a boxed set of Highway Patrol or Sea Hunt or whatever mid-century programs one finds interesting and/or amusing than to stay up all night hoping for something other than hours of a still picture of bladder leakage products. Last night it was many hours of a still picture of some guy in a blue shirt menacing a woman. Don't get too interested in a night-time movie on THIS - you might well never see the end of the movie. read more

Creepy Kofy Movie Time has disappeared with no explanation or time for its return, in exchange for an endless stream of random movies. I love Kofy, especially MeTV (though the summer schedule has bummed me out a bit... I miss Ironside!!!) Bring back the Saturday night fixture, Creepy Kofy Movie Time, or tell me why its gone (not that I'll forgive you) !!! read more

KOFY TV MUST BE watch the fight noone on the air for 10min now...seem unfair we are watching commercial After commercial then a cover screen..MUST BE NICE...oh more commercial I guess your workers but in the $99.95 pool to watch on another monitor...I wanted news about Hurricane Harvey. read more

Seriously? 50 minutes into an hour long program and no one noticed that there is no audio? This is happening a LOT lately.

I have been a viewer with KOFY for over 20 years and now as a producer of a TV show on this great channel I love them very much for giving us the great opportunity. They are awesome and truly the Bay Area best local TV station. LOCAL!! read more

How about a TV20 streaming app? You know, for the good folks that don't have ConCast and/or don't live in the Bay Area.

Celeste Perry is a joy to watch. She seems very genuine and relatable. I hope she is around for a very long time.

kofy tv, i have one request without going into how it really effected our lives when you took away me tv: bring back me tv. bring it back, bring it back, bring it b a c k. read more

I am hooked on all of your court drama shows and the other oldie shows. Excellent programming for people of my generation. I really hope you will get more commercial sponsorships since I feel bad for you having to run the same commercials repeatedly. read more

I used to have a lot of respect for the way Jim Gabbert ran this station. Now I find myself watching it less and less. I was thrilled when they became the local MeTV affiliate, because I like watching retro tv. Now I find myself constantly asking them why they are showing reruns of shows which they just ran a week or two earlier. I get the impression that they are going out of their way to lose viewers. It's working with me. read more

Surely one of the most obnoxious and off-putting hucksters anywhere on TV is TV-20's Celeste Perry, whose all-too-frequent, narcissistic, self-regarding little tableaus have ruined the start of all of my favorite programs, and triggered my search for better programs on other channels many times. It seems every time I tune in to TV-20, excitedly waiting for the one of the 2 or 3 good shows they have, there she always is: revelling in her star-status, overflowing with reverent self-esteem, acting like we're tuning in to see her, bubbling over with self-love as she makes unfunny jokes and inane comments about crappy shows hours or days later that no one wants to see. I know of no other TV station that allows its workers---I assume she must be CEO: how else to explain this?---to frolic and gambol for millions of viewers for no reason except to further inflate her massive, vastly oversized self-esteem and ego. Celeste Perry, please leave us innocent viewers alone!!! read more
