Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area here: CBS - KNXT channel 2\* NBC - KNBC channel 4 ABC - KABC channel 7 Fox - KTTV channel 11 \*They can CALL themselves KCBS, all they want; hell, they can even get the FCC to call them KCBS (apparently). But people who have learned that you don’t fuck with the quotidian details of the world I grew up in know that it will always and forever be KNXT.
