History of KVCR and Inland Empire, CA television

KVCR is the first running television station serving the Inland Empire, California region since 1961, there were 3 or 4 other television stations, and even one station on pre-1948 VHF channel 1 assigned to Riverside/San Bernardino instead of Los Angeles. It can be said KSCI had 3 incarnations: KARO (1947-48) based in Riverside disbanded before the FCC removed the VHF channel 1 from the band, KBXM or KFXM (1950s) on channel 18 (one of the first UHF band television stations) renamed KDMT under the Dumont Television Network before the network disbanded in 1956 and later KBXM or KFXM folded operations. In 1962, KCHU on channel 18 broadcasted as an independent station before it went off air in 1965. And finally, KCHI 18 "El CHIcano" a competitor to KMEX "El MEXicano" 34 of L.A., was a part-time Spanish language station, along with KLXA 40 and KBSA 56 in the 1970s, KHSP or KESP 38 in the 1980s and KBSC 52 became a Telemundo affiliate in 1985 after Kaiser Broadcasting Company was purchased by the then NetSpan network the predecessor of Telemundo. KSCI channel 18 began around 1975 and within a decade, was the LA area's first multilingual/multicultural station after being an independent serving both San Bernardino/Riverside and Los Angeles/Orange county metro areas. KEIV or KOEQ in the 1970s might be translators of XETV 6 (then ABC)-now FOX or CW, and KOGO 10 (then NBC)-now KGTV 10 (ABC) for Riverside county which it also serves to this day (the translator stations are gone). Victorville/Barstow had an ABC substation on channels 38 or 64 in the 1970s-80s, as well a NBC(1970s)-then-ABC (1990s)-now CBS translator from KBAK 29 Bakersfield. KVCR may be the most stable television station, in part it was meant to be public broadcasting and educational, in fact the Banning/Beaumont and Hemet/San Jacinto are close to the Palm Springs TV market which means they get either KESQ (ABC), KPSP (CBS), KDFX (Fox) and KMIR (NBC) on cable or over-air. 2605:E000:FDCA:4200:D962:2182:F3EB:EEB3 (talk) 22:17, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- @Sammi Brie: Here are my comments, hopefully they will be addressed.
  - That ping wasn't signed, so it didn't come through. Anyway, everything should be handled, Arconning. One item you suggested is incorrect. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prose and MoS

Lede

As public stations signed on in the Los Angeles area, , hyperlink Los Angeles.

History

even though trustees were at first lukewarm about the concept., change lukewarm to something more formal like unsure.
- Reworded.
Several sites, including Sunset Ridge (used by KHOF-TV),, hyperlink Sunset Ridge to Sunset Ridge, Victorville, California.
- Those aren't the same place. The coords for KHOF-TV are 34°11'15", -117°41'58", which today is known as Brindle Mountain but is identified on all the broadcast paperwork I've seen as Sunset Ridge.
relocating the station out of the only home it had ever known, informal, please change.
would soon need to dip into the principal of the stations' endowment to cover operating expenses., possibly change dip to something more formal. Can be discussed though!
- Both done.

Funding

No issues. But if grant monies be changed to grant money, that would be okay!
- Reworded.

Local programming

No issues. Pass.

Technical information

No issues. Pass.

Refs

All references are reliable, would be nice if some of the unlinked references would have a web reference to back it up :) But it's alright if not.
- These are, as you might expect, NewsBank-only. Unlike the last two articles, however, the papers in question aren't in GenealogyBank for those years (the Press-Enterprise only goes up through 1986 and only has gotten there in the last few months), or at all (Business Press). The San Bernardino County Sun is unusual for Newspapers.com as it dries up in 1998. Some of the pages in recent years are likely available online.

Spotchecks

Earwig and manual check shows up nothing.

Images

Images have proper licensing and are relevant to the article's topic.

Misc.

No ongoing edit war, neutral, broad in coverage.
