In the late 1960s, KHJ embarked on a novel, groundbreaking (and inexpensive) experiment, called <i>Tempo</i>, which heavily borrowed from the <a href="/wiki/Talk_radio" title="Talk radio">talk radio</a> craze on local radio stations. Daytime programming was divided into three blocks running three hours in length, called <i>Tempo I</i>, <i>Tempo II</i> and <i>Tempo III</i>. The second of the three programs, <i>Tempo II</i> was perhaps the most active, controversial and innovative. For the first couple of years the hosts were Stan Bohrman and <a href="/wiki/Maria_Cole" title="Maria Cole">Maria Cole</a> (the wife of <a href="/wiki/Nat_King_Cole" title="Nat King Cole">Nat King Cole</a>).

Bohrman came back to the program and was joined by a new co-host, <a href="/wiki/Regis_Philbin" title="Regis Philbin">Regis Philbin</a>. They became a very popular fixture in Los Angeles television. In fact, in his book about those days, Philbin credits the chemistry with Bohrman and the format of the program as forerunners of much of what would become the <a href="/wiki/Cable_news" class="mw-redirect" title="Cable news">cable news</a> format 20 years later.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

It did continue to have a weekday children's show called <i>Froozles</i>, which ran until the late 1980s. It also produced many half-hour public affairs programs, as well as a local talk show called <i>Mid-Morning L.A.</i> The first hosts were Kathy McKee and <a href="/wiki/Sandy_Baron" title="Sandy Baron">Sandy Baron</a> on the <i>Mid Day</i> and <i>Good Morning L.A.</i> talk shows.

Some other locally produced public affairs programs included the investigative show <i>Camera 9</i> and <i>The Changing Family</i>, a program about family and social issues during the 1980s. Despite this, KHJ-TV was perceived as an also ran while KTLA was the leading independent station, even though it had a similar format. </p><p>Meanwhile, a behind-the-scenes battle was underway with serious implications for the station's future—and that of its owner. In 1965, RKO General faced a threat to its license for KHJ-TV from a group called Fidelity Television.<sup id="cite_ref-FCC_TV_Table_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FCC_TV_Table-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At first, Fidelity's claim focused on channel 9's programming quality. Later, Fidelity levied a more serious claim that KHJ-TV was involved in reciprocal trade practices. Fidelity alleged that RKO's parent company, General Tire, forced its retailers to purchase advertising on KHJ-TV and other RKO-owned stations as a condition of their contracts with General Tire.

In 1997, KCAL premiered the first fifteen-minute weekday sports report <i>Final Quarter</i>, the show was an expansion of the typical five-minute sports report seen towards the end of a newscast. Several years later, the show was renamed <i>KCAL 9 Sports News</i> and with the purchase by CBS and the formation of the duopoly between KCAL and KCBS-TV, was renamed <i>Sports Central</i>; the show has since expanded to a half-hour broadcast on Friday through Sunday evenings. </p><p>Channel 9 has aired preseason coverage of the <a href="/wiki/NFL" class="mw-redirect" title="NFL">NFL</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Chargers" class="mw-redirect" title="Chargers">Chargers</a> (then based in San Diego) from <a href="/wiki/2005_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="2005 San Diego Chargers season">2005</a> to <a href="/wiki/2016_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="2016 San Diego Chargers season">2016</a>, and aired games from the Chargers' <a href="/wiki/AFC_West" title="AFC West">AFC West</a> Division rival, the <a href="/wiki/Las_Vegas_Raiders" title="Las Vegas Raiders">Raiders</a> (then based in Oakland) in <a href="/wiki/2006_Oakland_Raiders_season" title="2006 Oakland Raiders season">2006</a> (whose preseason games also aired on the station during the mid-1990s).

Often regular news programming on KCAL is suspended to cover a police chase, and programs that follow the newscast are sometimes preempted to show the chase's conclusion. In 2003, KCAL reported a quadrupling of ratings every time a police chase was shown, with up to 1.6 million viewers watching at a given time during such events.<sup id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Between 2012 and 2020 (when he moved to KTTV), chases were often shown with the voice and in-air helicopter camera work of Stu Mundel;<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-56" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> since 2021, former <a href="/wiki/KNX_(AM)" title="KNX (AM)">KNX</a> pilot Desmond Shaw took over Mundel's role as the duopoly's chief helicopter reporter.<sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the 1970s, KHJ-TV aired a prime time newscast at 10 p.m., which was moved to 9 p.m. during the 1980s; the station subsequently added a half-hour 8 p.m. newscast during the late 1980s, and also carried afternoon newscasts throughout this time. Some of its most notable personalities included anchors <a href="/wiki/George_Putnam_(newsman)" title="George Putnam (newsman)">George Putnam</a>, Chris Harris, Stan Bohrman, Tom Lawrence, Nathan Roberts, Lonnie Lardner, Linda Edwards and weather personality <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Amador" title="Andrew Amador">Andrew Amador</a>. </p><p>Shortly after taking over, Disney invested $30 million on upgrading the station's news department, tripling the number of staff and investing on electronic news equipment, including expanding the stations' studio facility at Paramount Studios to house a new newsroom and studio; the station also hired veteran newscasters Jerry Dunphy, Pat Harvey, Larry Carroll and Jane Velez-Mitchell.<sup id="cite_ref-59" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After retaining, in the interim, the existing 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. newcasts, and a delay on its launch from January 15, in March 5, 1990, Disney implemented the concept of a prime time news block, with the three-hour long <i>Prime 9 News</i> airing from 8 to 11 p.m.<sup id="cite_ref-60" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-60"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>60<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A few years later in the early 1990s, KCAL added a short-lived half-hour newscast at 6:30 p.m. called <i>First 9 News</i>, which focused primarily on local news and competed against the national network newscasts aired on KCBS-TV, KNBC and KABC-TV (KCBS also aired a 6:30 p.m. newscast during the mid to late 1990s, while the <i><a href="/wiki/CBS_Evening_News" title="CBS Evening News">CBS Evening News</a></i> aired at 5:30 p.m.). Under Disney ownership, more daytime newscasts were added to channel 9 weekdays at 2 and 3 p.m., and the 6:30 p.m. newscast was discontinued (a local newscast returned to that timeslot in the market in January 2009, when KTLA launched its own 6:30 p.m. newscast). </p><p>KCAL is notable for airing newscasts during unconventional time periods; the station maintains the large amount of local newscasts that it presently does (which is far more than what is typical of most stations involved in a duopoly with a major network station) simply due to the fact that KCAL and KCBS-TV's newscasts air in timeslots that do not compete against one another, as a result, the station's newscast schedule remained unchanged after KCAL merged its operations with KCBS. Along with newscasts at noon (where it competes against KTLA), 4 p.m. (where it competes against KABC, KTLA and KNBC) and 10 p.m. (where it competes against KTLA and KTTV), and seven nights a week at 8 and 9 p.m. </p><p>KCAL's newscasts are variable in tone, depending on the timeslot. Its 8 p.m. newscast is generally an update on the day's news, which largely features stories focusing on California and the Los Angeles area (and was previously branded as the <i>California Report</i> during the <i>Prime 9 News</i> era). Its 9 p.m. newscast is generally the most serious in format (and was branded in previous years as the <i>Prime 9 News World Report</i>), that newscast prominently features political, business and international news. The noon newscast, on the other hand, features lighter stories, including features on food, health and the entertainment industry. The 4 p.m. newscast was essentially a repurposed KCBS-TV newscast and was presented by former channel 2 anchors <a href="/wiki/Harold_Greene_(journalist)" title="Harold Greene (journalist)">Harold Greene</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ann_Martin_(journalist)" title="Ann Martin (journalist)">Ann Martin</a>, who did not appear recently elsewhere on KCAL. The 4 p.m. newscast moved to KCAL from KCBS-TV in 2002 to make room for <i><a href="/wiki/Dr._Phil_(TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dr. Phil (TV series)">Dr. Phil</a></i>, which by contractual stipulations was not allowed to air opposite <i><a href="/wiki/The_Oprah_Winfrey_Show" title="The Oprah Winfrey Show">The Oprah Winfrey Show</a></i> (which aired in Los Angeles on KABC-TV at 3 p.m., until its syndication run ended in September 2011). Its 10 p.m. newscast is simply more of an update of the 8 p.m. news (and during the <i>Prime 9 News</i> era, was simply branded as the <i>10 O'Clock Report</i>), as it competes with KTTV and KTLA (and in the past, KCOP), though in recent years, it has been shortened to 30 minutes, in order to make way for the local sports news program <i>Sports Central</i>. </p><p>On April 1, 2008, CBS Television Stations ordered widespread budget cuts and staff layoffs from its stations. As a result of the budget cuts, roughly 10 to 15 staffers were released from KCBS-TV and KCAL-TV, including reporters Jennifer Sabih, Greg Phillips and Jennifer Davis. 4 p.m. co-anchors Greene and Martin, who were then also the 6 p.m. anchors on KCBS-TV, were also said to have been on the layoff list, but both decided to retire from television upon the June 2009 expiration of their contracts. On April 23, 2009, former KTTV anchor <a href="/w/index.php?title=Rick_Garcia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Rick Garcia (page does not exist)">Rick Garcia</a> joined KCAL, and was paired with Pat Harvey as co-anchor of the station's weeknight 8 and 10 p.m. newscasts (Garcia is now paired with <a href="/wiki/Sharon_Tay" title="Sharon Tay">Sharon Tay</a>, as Harvey moved to sister station KCBS-TV to co-anchor that station's 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="NewsCentral_era">NewsCentral era</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=KCAL-TV&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: NewsCentral era"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NewsCentral_kcal.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/NewsCentral_kcal.jpg/250px-NewsCentral_kcal.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="66" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/NewsCentral_kcal.jpg/375px-NewsCentral_kcal.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/NewsCentral_kcal.jpg 2x" data-file-width="400" data-file-height="106" /></a><figcaption><i>KCAL 9 NewsCentral</i> logo.</figcaption></figure> <p>On September 19, 2009, KCBS and KCAL rebranded the newscasts on both stations to the unified <i>NewsCentral</i> branding (unrelated to <a href="/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group" title="Sinclair Broadcast Group">Sinclair Broadcast Group</a>'s <a href="/wiki/News_Central_(American_TV_program)" title="News Central (American TV program)">now-defunct national news division of the same name</a>; CBS coincidentally owns former Sinclair station <a href="/wiki/KOVR" title="KOVR">KOVR</a> in <a href="/wiki/Sacramento" class="mw-redirect" title="Sacramento">Sacramento</a>).

Under the <i>NewsCentral</i> format, the two stations claimed that they covered more local news than any other television station in the country (with reporters in <a href="/wiki/Ventura_County" class="mw-redirect" title="Ventura County">Ventura County</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Inland_Empire" title="Inland Empire">Inland Empire</a> and <a href="/wiki/Orange_County,_California" title="Orange County, California">Orange County</a>), and the only Los Angeles television station with two helicopters (subcontracted to Angel City Air, owned by reporter Larry Welk). <a href="/wiki/Ed_Asner" title="Ed Asner">Ed Asner</a> was used to introduce the new newscast.<sup id="cite_ref-61" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> CBS denies this move was made in response to other stations pooling newsgathering resources.<sup id="cite_ref-62" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-62"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>62<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On December 10, 2009, CBS Television Stations hired Steve Mauldin to replace Patrick McClenahan as president and general manager of the KCBS-KCAL duopoly.
