Programming
National evening newscasts from the major networks air at 6:30 p.m. in the Los Angeles market, one hour later than most network affiliates on the West Coast; this includes KCBS' broadcast of the CBS Evening News. During the 1980s, the CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News (broadcast by KNBC) and World News Tonight (broadcast by KABC-TV) aired on their respective stations at 7 p.m. From 1988 to 1999, KCBS aired the CBS Evening News at 5:30 p.m. (the timeslot that the newscast typically airs in the Mountain and Central time zones).
KCBS also airs The Young and the Restless at 11:30 a.m., differing from most other CBS-affiliated stations in the Pacific, Mountain and Central time zones, that commonly air the soap opera at 11 a.m.; this later timeslot is due to the fact that KCBS broadcasts its midday newscast at 11 a.m. on weekdays. KCBS carried Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! at 7 and 7:30 p.m., respectively from 1989 until 1992, when rival KABC-TV acquired the local syndication rights to both programs; before 1989, both Wheel and Jeopardy! were shown on KCOP-TV. Today the 7 p.m. hour on KCBS features the entertainment newsmagazines Entertainment Tonight and The Insider. Jeopardy! initially aired during the afternoon hours on KCBS in 1984, before KCOP picked it up a year later.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
