KNBC-TV (NBC4) is the West Coast flagship station of the NBC television network. This station signed on the air on January 16, 1949 as KNBH-TV. In the mid-1950s, KNBH changed its call letters to KRCA-TV. The current KRCA-TV in the Los Angeles area, on Channel 62, is a multi-ethnic station, but it is unrelated to Channel 4. In 1962, Channel 4 relocated to the newly built NBC Studios in surburban Burbank, after being located in Hollywood since its 1949 sign-on. KRCA changed its call letters to the present KNBC-TV in 1960. Longtime NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw began his long association with NBC, as an anchor and reporter for KNBC, starting in 1966. He left the station to work exclusively for the network in 1973, as a correspondent. Other personalities that have gotten their start at KNBC include Bryant Gumbel and Pat Sajak. External links
