Abstract. Let $F$ be a measurable $\kappa $-indefinite generalized Toeplitz kernel defined on a, finite or infinite, interval. We prove that $F = F^{(c)} + F^{(o)}$, where $F^{(c)}$ is a $\kappa $-indefinite generalized Toeplitz kernel given by four continuous functions and $F^{(o)}$ is a positive definite generalized Toeplitz kernel which vanishes almost everywhere. We also prove an extension result for measurable $\kappa $-indefinite generalized Toeplitz kernels defined on a finite interval.
