When did the present NBC affiliate, Channel 36,
sign on?

 

[Braves2005]

When did the present NBC affiliate, Channel 36,
sign on?

In 1973, KHFI changed call letters and channels. Channel 42 became Channel 36 and KHFI became KTTV until 1987 when it became KXAN. Channel 42 would return as KBVO in 1982 first as an independent station then in 1987 as the FOX station until 1995 when FOX moved to KTBC 7 and Channel 42 became the CBS affiliate KEYE.

 

[bpatrick]

KTVV. KTTV is Channel 11 in Los Angeles,
and has been since its inception.

 

[Braves2005]

I meant KTVV. My apologies on that one.

 

[Braves2005]

Also about the ABC Movie "Ice Station Zebra", Part 1 aired that Sunday night and this was the conclusion of the movie that aired on Monday night since "Ice Station Zebra" was a 3 hour and 30 minute movie.
