- Do you remember when Channel 10 was the NBC affiliate and Channel 39 was the ABC affiliate? Things got a bit complicated but CBS affiliate News 8 was there to clear things up. No, Harold Greene was not moving to Channel 39 and Channel 39 was not going to move out of its Kearny Mesa studios. Network star Barbara Walters came to San Diego to greet Channel 10 to ABC. News 8's Carol Kendrick ended her report in the Channel 39 studios--possibly the one and only time a reporter from our station did a standup in another station's newsroom.
Such a rare thing to see local news stations actually be reporting about their competitors and in their competitor's studio.
I love watching these old videos.
What funny is Channel 39/ now 7 [ which cracks me up] they go by the cable channel instead of the analog. They had Channel 8 reporter in their studios doing her package report. However great video btw. I love it.
I've never understood why present day KNSD only refers to the cable TV channel position. I thought the channel branding of 7/39 was perfect. Same argument could be made for KSWB, they should brand itself as Fox 5/69.
@@tomwellman1554 The most likely reason they dropped the 39 in their logo is because very few people watch their over the air signal. Just using the 7 designation makes it much more simple, from a promotion standpoint.
@@tomwellman1554 how ever In January 2011 they rebranded to NBC San Diego after 23 years branded as NBC 7/39 until June 2011 They rebranded to NBC 7 San Diego
@@tomwellman1554 There's also a few stations in Florida who've downplayed their OTA channel in their branding, with two such examples being WWSB 40 in Sarasota and WZVN-TV 26 in Fort Myers both identifying as "ABC 7" on the air, also because of high cable subscription penetration...
@@tomwellman1554 It's quite similar to how WBTS-CD 15, the current NBC affiliate for Boston, Massachusetts, identifies themselves as "NBC 10 Boston."
The previous Boston NBC affiliate, WHDH-TV 7, is now an independent station...
San Diego 39 was ABC & changed to NBC. San Diego 10 was NBC & changed to ABC. Remains the same now.
Interesting KFMB reporting on their competitors (KGTV and the then-KCST) and their affiliation changes and having KCST let that KFMB reporter into *KCST's studio* to cover the story. Strange (and nice) to see that kind of cooperation-despite this being from 1977.
Likely the first and only time that happened...an odd sight indeed.
@@cbs8sandiego Fox used to be channel 6 and CW or something was channel 5, not sure if it's the same thing though.
What's weirder-er is that KCST is now an NBC Owned & Operated Station and now identifies with their Cable channel, and KGTV is now owned by E.W. Scripps, but is still an ABC affiliate
Not to confused with the Scripps hospitals in the city
Barbara Walters 🙏🕊️♥️
This is not to mention that about five years before this, XETV was forced to give up ABC as they were licensed to Tijuana.
Oh, and a similar switch happened in Atlanta three years later when WSB switched its network to ABC while WXIA went with NBC. WAGA would keep its affiliation with CBS until 1994 when it went with Fox.
Ironic that Channel 6 assets are now part of Channel 8
What weirder is that XETV was affiliared with Fox and The CW before becoming XETV-TDT and solely Mexican
@@carsonneeley4862 ...now XETV-TDT 6 is just another semi-satellite of Televisa's nationwide general entertainment network, Canal 5, originating from XHGC-TDT 5 in Mexico City, Mexico...
KCST had a shotgun affiliation with ABC when XETV gave it up. Then was the three-way switch in the Twin Cities when KSTP flipped from NBC to ABC, independent WTCN (now KARE) took on NBC, and previous ABC outlet KMSP went independent (now Fox).
Back in 1979, WATE-TV Channel 6 in Knoxville went from NBC to ABC, and WTVK Channel 26 went from ABC to NBC. WBIR-TV Channel 10, on the other hand, chose to stay with CBS. That was until 1988, the year of my birth, when Channel 10 went from CBS to NBC, and Channel 26 went from NBC to CBS, and then became WKXT on Channel 8. Today, Channel 8 is now known as WVLT. And Channel 6 stayed with ABC.
Wasn’t that a very young Harold Greene in clip?
It's obvious that San Diego may have had the distinction of becoming the first television market in the country to see an NBC affiliate switching to ABC, and an ABC affiliate switching to NBC.
A surprisingly calm day at KVWN Channel 4 News.
No smelly pirates or dimwitted reporters here. And definitely no sexism and discrimination, surprisingly. LMFAO.

I know right!? The resemblance is SOOOO uncanny! 😳😆
What's funny when ABC fell in the shitter in the 80's a lot of affiliates lost money. 39 had a better product but the cable saturation was low at the time.
ABC always had better news, primetime programming IMO growing up in the 80s followed by NBC. CBS was definitely skewing to an older demographics in the 80s.
Including GMA and world news.
@@Suarez05 most definitely!
NBC appealed to kids and SD seemed to have more kid viewers.

Explains why viewers are never satisfied on everything on today's media.
Ahh the days in Spring Valley and roto antennas.
Didn't take long for the Incel community to comment....
Harold Greene was the most arrogant, obnoxious and annoying local news personality of all time.
Thats when Women liked Men..LoL
JB likes men. Got it.
