The station first signed on the air on September 6, 1954, with its first broadcast originating from the California State Fair. KOVR is the oldest continuously operating television station in the Sacramento market. Originally serving as an independent station with its transmitter located on Mount Diablo, its signal reached the San Francisco Bay Area, lending to the KOVR call letters ("covering" all of Northern California). The station originally operated from studio facilities located on Miner Avenue in Stockton. It would later gain its ABC affiliation in May 1957, when it consolidated its operations with original affiliate KCCC-TV (UHF channel 40, now occupied by KTXL).

KOVR swapped affiliations with Sacramento-licensed then-CBS affiliate KXTV (VHF channel 10) on March 6, 1995. This logo was similar to that of then-sister station, WGME-TV in Portland, Maine.

In December 2004, Viacom, then the owner of CBS, agreed to acquire KOVR from Sinclair Broadcast Group for $285 million. The deal was completed on April 29, 2005. This gave Viacom a duopoly in Sacramento, where it already had UPN owned-and-operated station KMAX-TV. The station subsequently changed its name to CBS 13.
