KRCA 4-NBC Los Angeles
11:15 Movie 4 "Hers to Hold"

A few observations:
(a) I did notice the KRCA calls lasted on NBC's L.A. flagship for some 2-1/2 years after its NYC outlet, WRCA-TV, changed to WNBC-TV on May 22, 1960. (Wonder exactly when the L.A. call switch happened - it appeared to fall between Nov. 11 and 14, 1962, if Google News references to Los Angeles Times TV listings are any indication.)
(b) It seems at this point, the weekend movies were the only ones in L.A. which sported the Movie 4 title as used by WNBC and Washington, DC's WRC-TV, given the weekday afternoon [Tom] Frandsen's Feature.
(c) I'm in the process of finding whether or not WRCA/WNBC had Hers to Hold in its library within this period; however, I did find that as of 1963 it was on WOR-TV.
