references 6 external links history edit channel 24 first hit the airwaves on september 24 1985 as kcpm 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 1978 . since then assorted nbc programs had been available via off hours clearances from both khsl and krcr . kcpm signed on during a very prosperous time for nbc and it did quite well for the first several years on the air . but 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 on august 10th and turned the station s operations over to khsl owned by catamount broadcasting at the time under a shared services agreement . a report in the chico news & review on january 3 2013 said that there were rumors of a sale of khsl and knvn to nexstar broadcasting group . 1 however on february 6 knvn was instead sold to k4 media holdings . operations of the station were taken over by gocom media llc which concurrently bought khsl . 2 3 the fcc approved the sale on april 19 ; 4 it was consummated on may 6 . 5 on july 14 2015 it was announced that k4 would sell knvn to maxair media . concurrently gocom will sell khsl tv to heartland media through its usa television holdings joint venture with msouth equity partners for 40 million ; heartland will provide services to knvn and sell up to 15 percent of channel 24 s advertising time . 6 the sale was completed on december 1 . 7 news operation edit 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 . 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 . digital television and high definition edit digital television edit knvn s former logo . knvn has been broadcasting all digital on uhf channel 24 since december 22
