History

Channel 24 first hit the airwaves on September 24, 1985 as KCPM-TV, making the northern Sacramento Valley one of the last regions of the country with full network service. It also brought a full NBC affiliate to the area for the first time since KRCR-TV switched from NBC to ABC in 1971. Since then, NBC programs had been available via off-hours clearances from KHSL and KRCR.

Although KCPM signed on during a very prosperous time for NBC, that success didn't carry over to channel 24. For most of its first 13 years on the air, it was essentially the third station in a two-station market. By 1998, the station was sinking in debt and on the verge of closing down. At this point, KHSL stepped in, not wanting to see the loss of full network service in the area. Then-owner Grapevine Communications sold the station to Evans Broadcasting, which changed the calls to the current KNVN and turned the station's operations over to KHSL under a shared services agreement.


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.
