History
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. The station was owned by the broadcasting unit of television production company Telepictures (later renamed Lorimar-Telepictures) It also brought a full NBC affiliate to the area for the first time since KRCR-TV (channel 7) switched from NBC to ABC in 1978. In that interim period between 1978 and 1985, assorted NBC programs were available via off-hours clearances from both KHSL and KRCR. It originally broadcast from the former KHSL-TV and Radio studios located on East 4th Street and Wall Street in Chico. Lorimar-Telepictures sold the station along with two of its stations (KSPR in Springfield, Missouri, and KMID in Midland, Texas) to Goltrin Communications in 1987; which in turn sold it to Davis-Goldfarb Communications in 1988.
KCPM signed on during a very prosperous time for NBC (as it rose to become the top rated network), 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

KNVN-DT2
KNVN-DT2, branded Telemundo Chico-Redding, is the Telemundo-affiliated second digital subchannel of KNVN, broadcasting in 720p high definition on channel 24.2. It is the first local Spanish-language station in the Northstate to broadcast a locally produced Spanish-language newscast called Acción Noticiero Telemundo with Josh Navarro and Daniela Contreras as anchors.
The subchannel's Telemundo affiliation originally started with
News operation
KHSL and KNVN currently share a single news operation.
KCPM aired its own newscasts for a time after going on the air under the titles of 24 Reports and 24 Action News (the latter which is reused by both KHSL and KNVN today). 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.
