That was an awesome celebration for the big NBC O&O switch on KNTV in San Francisco Bay Area. I wish NBC Boston that launched the all new O&O switch last year did the same thing.

They couldn't, since they promoted their new outlet through Virst Night NYE celebrations. Plus, alongside the fact cable peneration is high, the switch was slated very late at 3am.

San Jose was sandwiched between the San Francisco and Monterey Bay media markets. KNTV 11 initially served as the de facto ABC affiliate for the Monterey Bay market for most of its life before it became the new NBC owned and operated station for San Francisco. ABC returned to the Monterrey Bay market on KSBW 8.2 in 2011.

The affiliation deal between channel 11 and NBC was announced in February 2000 but the affiliation contract with channel 4 was not due to expire until December 2001. NBC announced its acquisition of channel 11 on December 17, 2001 and took control of the station in April 2002.

"NBC 3" likely refers to KNTV's cable dial position. After digital conversion, it's over-the-air frequency is probably somewhere on UHF, but it will show up as "Channel 11.1" on over-the-air digital TV sets/converters in the Bay Area. The station's transmitter is now just south of San Francisco.

KRON/4 was the NBC affiliate from 1949 (affiliation shared with CBS on KPIX/5 in 1948-49), first owned by the Chronicle, then Young Broadcasting after the FCC cross-ownership ruling in 1976. NBC wanted to buy KRON in the late 90's, but Young refused and ended the affiliation in 2001. KNTV/11 was first an independent, then an ABC affiliate (with an OK from ABC-owned KGO-TV/7 when 11 reduced power). KNTV approached NBC and the network eventually bought it, moving the transmitter further north and increasing power so it would cover the North Bay. For a time, NBC was only available on cable 3, thus the NBC3 ID until the new transmitter and station sale were finalized. KNTV would change shortly afterward to NBC11 after confusion with KCRA/NBC3 in Sacramento, and is now NBC Bay Area.

For clarification's sake: with this countdown of NBC11 to NBC3 in San Francisco, did that also mean that KNTV also became an NBC O&O as it is today? Looked like at the time, NBC11 was operated by Granite, and they only said "NBC affiliates"... just wondering.
@joerouse79082 жыл бұрын
NBC had agreed to buy the station from Granite 2 weeks before this. The sale was not finalized until April 2002 so for a few months it was just an affiliate.

It looks like NBC may be moving back to KRON. KRON is now a secondary NBC affiliate when KNTV is unable to air NBC programs, mostly Giants games. If NBC goes to back to KRON full time, they'll either move Telemundo to KNTV and sell KSTS, or sell KNTV.
@rjmcallister18886 жыл бұрын
NBC-owned channel 11 bought time on channel 4 when it needed to move a show. After the bad feelings Young Broadcasting created when dumping NBC, no way the network would take them back at that time, though the now cash-strapped Young has approached Comcast (NBC's current owner) about an LMA, which would have KNTV operate the station. Currently, KNTV moves NBC programming when needed to 11.2 digital, bumping Cozi TV.

KTVT 11 was Independent station before CBS. Their calls used to be KFJZ-TV 11 as an Independent station from 1955 until they changed it to KTVT 11 in 1960. KTVT 11 became CBS in 1995.
