News Operation
KHSL and KNVN currently share a single news operation; for information, see KHSL-TV#Action News.
KCPM aired its own newscasts for a time after going on the air. However, its ratings were so weak that it was forced to shutter its own news department and simulcast the newscasts from KCRA-TV in Sacramento. After Grapevine sold the station, KNVN relaunched its own news department, this time targeted toward younger viewers. However, this attempt at local news failed to make much of an impact. FInally, the news departments of both stations formally merged into a single news department in February 2000.
Since then both KHSL and KNVN have been financially troubled. They not only have to compete with KRCR, but also Sacramento's KCRA and KOVR, both of which are available on Comcast Cable.
