KTNC-TV, virtual channel 42 (UHF digital channel 14), is an Estrella TV-affiliated television station serving the San Francisco Bay Area that is licensed to Concord, California, United States. The station is owned by NRJ TV, LLC, as part of a duopoly with MundoMax affiliate KCNS (channel 38). KTNC maintains studios and offices located on Montgomery Street in the North Beach district of San Francisco, and its transmitter is located at Mount Diablo State Park near Walnut Creek.

The station first signed on the air on June 19, 1983 as KFCB, which was originally owned by First Century Broadcasting (later known as Family Christian Broadcasting) – from which the station's original call letters were taken. At that time, its president was Reverend Ronn Haus. A majority of the station's broadcast day was devoted to Christian programming, including its own in-house productions. The station's flagship program was called California Tonight (later retitled Coast to Coast), a Christian talk show with sermons, conversations with religious topics and musical guests. The program utilized an applause cart (audio tape cartridge) to give the viewers the impression that a studio audience was present during the tapings. Other programs seen on the station included The 700 Club, Dr. Robert Schuller's Hour of Power and various other local and national religious programs, usually of an evangelical nature.
