ha! now KCBS-TV & KCAL-TV r now sister affiliates. :D since 2002, due to a massive debt from Young Broadcasting. the company decided to sell it, which CBS decided to buy KCAL.
KCAL was revolutionary when it came to local news, although KTTV briefly had an 8pm newscast and its predecessor KHJ had LA's only 9 O'Clock News during the 80s. KCBS and KABC also aired news at 6:30p during the 80's, while Hal and the Channel 5 crew held it down at 10 for years. This format still lives on, though LA no longer has a 6:30 newscast.
I also noticed that David Jackson was another KHJ reporter who was promoted as the anchor of KCAL9 once Jane Velez-Mitchell came in. By the way David Jackson was once a reporter on KPIX in SF in 1982.
They stopped using the "California9" slogan in 1995 and had started to call themselves to this day as "K-CAL9", but still used the "9" logotype since 1989.
RIP Jerry Dunphy:(

What year did KTVU's Dave Clark arrive on KCAL9 and on CBS2.
dinfg6 3 years ago
Dave Clark came to KCAL9 in the early 90's. Could have been 93, for a time he was also at KNBC.

I'm no SoCal, but this is when KCAL-TV dropped the "California 9" moniker?

KCAL hasn't dropped the California 9 signature at least on their news music.
