History
This station went on the air on January 16, 1949, as KNBH-TV. In the mid-1950s, KNBH changed its call letters to KRCA-TV. The station was originally located out of the NBC Radio City studios on Sunset Blvd. and Vine Street in Hollywood. KRCA changed its call letters to the present KNBC-TV in 1960. In 1962, Channel 4 relocated to the newly built NBC Studios (also known then as NBC Color City) in surburban Burbank, after being located in Hollywood since its 1949 sign-on.
Note that the current KRCA in the Los Angeles area is now unrelated to Channel 4.
Personalities

He left the station to work exclusively for the network in 1973, as a correspondent. Other personalities that have gotten their start at KNBC include Bryant Gumbel and Pat Sajak.
