Stations in Los Angeles similarly started producing programs on the West Coast, feeding affiliates in the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Time_Zone" title="Pacific Time Zone">Pacific Time Zone</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alaska" title="Alaska">Alaska</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hawaii" title="Hawaii">Hawaii</a>. Consequently, the networks' New York City stations became known as the "East Coast flagships" of their respective networks and the networks' Los Angeles stations became known as the "West Coast flagships". </p><p>However, before the 1950s, San Francisco was also considered a West Coast flagship market for the networks, with much of the CBS and NBC network's West Coast news programming originating from that city. This is seen the calls of CBS's <a href="/wiki/KCBS_(AM)" title="KCBS (AM)">KCBS (AM)</a> being based in their original city of San Francisco instead of Los Angeles (the use of KCBS-TV in Los Angeles only dates back to 1984), while <a href="/wiki/KNBR_(AM)" title="KNBR (AM)">KNBR</a> (which was subsequently sold to another party by NBC in 1987) was formerly known as KNBC before the network moved those calls to <a href="/wiki/KNBC" title="KNBC">KRCA-TV</a> in Los Angeles in 1962. </p><p>ABC, CBS and NBC are headquartered in New York City, which is the largest television market in the U.S., so their respective radio and television stations in that market are considered the overall network flagship stations. As programming schedules increased and modern technology improved transmission to affiliates, the networks set up operations centers in New York City (for the East Coast feed) and Los Angeles (for the West Coast feed). Los Angeles is the second largest television market in the U.S., and traditional home to the <a href="/wiki/Cinema_of_the_United_States" title="Cinema of the United States">motion picture industry</a> and its pool of popular talent, one of the reasons the radio networks set up operations there in the 1930s and 1940s (just as the medium of television was starting to take off). </p><p>This arrangement is reversed for the <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox Broadcasting Company</a>. When Fox was launched in 1986, its <a href="/wiki/Master_control" title="Master control">network operations center</a> was (and still is) based in Los Angeles. However, Fox's parent company, <a href="/wiki/Fox_Corporation" title="Fox Corporation">Fox Corporation</a> (which spun off its broadcasting properties in July 2013 into the separate <a href="/wiki/21st_Century_Fox" title="21st Century Fox">21st Century Fox</a>, then that company spun off many of its film and cable assets <a href="/wiki/Acquisition_of_21st_Century_Fox_by_Disney" title="Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney">to Disney</a> in 2019), is headquartered in New York City, along with its <a href="/wiki/Fox_News_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox News Channel">news division</a>. Fox-owned <a href="/wiki/WNYW" title="WNYW">WNYW</a> in New York City is considered the network's overall flagship, while sister station <a href="/wiki/KTTV" title="KTTV">KTTV</a> in Los Angeles is considered a second flagship station. </p><p>In 2006, when <a href="/wiki/The_WB" title="The WB">The WB</a> and <a href="/wiki/UPN" title="UPN">UPN</a> merged to form <a href="/wiki/The_CW" title="The CW">The CW</a>, Philadelphia station <a href="/wiki/WPSG" title="WPSG">WPSG</a> and San Francisco station <a href="/wiki/KPYX" title="KPYX">KBCW (now KPYX)</a> were designated as the network's <i><a href="/wiki/De_facto" title="De facto">de facto</a></i> East Coast and West Coast flagships, respectively, due to CBS owning half of The CW's controlling shares at the time. New York's affiliate <a href="/wiki/WPIX" title="WPIX">WPIX</a> and Los Angeles' affiliate <a href="/wiki/KTLA" title="KTLA">KTLA</a> did not have such status since the network's inception, as <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Media" title="Tribune Media">Tribune Media</a> (who had a minority stake in The WB) opted not to have any controlling interest with The CW, by selling off its share of The WB; instead, to secure the affiliation across most of the former WB affiliates they owned at the time. <a href="/wiki/Nexstar_Media_Group" title="Nexstar Media Group">Nexstar Media Group</a> then bought Tribune in 2019; however, it had to sell off WPIX to the <a href="/wiki/E._W._Scripps_Company" title="E.

Two years after WPIX returned to Nexstar control through partner company <a href="/wiki/Mission_Broadcasting" title="Mission Broadcasting">Mission Broadcasting</a>, the Irving, Texas-based media firm announced that it would buy 75% of CW's shares in August 2022. With the purchase completion announced on October 3, 2022, both WPIX and KTLA formally became flagship stations for the first time. However, as part of the Nexstar agreement, Paramount was given a right with the transaction to disaffiliate all eight of their CW affiliates, which was exercised on May 5, 2023.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By the time of the disaffiliations on September 1, Nexstar <a href="/wiki/Repatriation" title="Repatriation">repatriated</a> The CW affiliations onto their MyNetworkTV affiliates in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Tampa–St. Petersburg,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> announced the purchase of Detroit station <a href="/wiki/WADL_(TV)" title="WADL (TV)">WADL</a> through affiliate company Mission Broadcasting,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and signed long-term agreements with <a href="/wiki/Hearst_Television" title="Hearst Television">Hearst Television</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Gray_Television" title="Gray Television">Gray Television</a><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group" title="Sinclair Broadcast Group">Sinclair Broadcast Group</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the <a href="/wiki/E._W._Scripps_Company" title="E.

The system itself is owned collectively by the local PBS member stations.

An <a href="/wiki/Anti-siphoning_law" title="Anti-siphoning law">anti-siphoning policy</a> is also used by the league in order for local stations to bid for all games not on broadcast television for over-the-air distribution when local teams play. Most of the league's teams partner with a local station or regional network of stations, which distributes team programming and weekly analysis shows featuring a team's <a href="/wiki/Head_coach_(American_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Head coach (American football)">head coach</a>, with those stations allowed to market as a team's 'official station', often tied into preseason and often pay-television games (which are syndicated to primary market stations under the league's anti-siphoning policy).
