| - The station brands itself as KRON 4, keeping the station's previous branding while adding "My" to go with the network's naming conventions, only during MyNetworkTV programming. It is changed again to "KRON 4" during other programming. KRON can also be seen in Ukiah onK41AF channel 41. From its founding in 1949 until December 2001, KRON was affiliated full-time with NBC, and was one of that network's strongest affiliates; since April 2010, KRON has an informal secondary affiliation with NBC, carrying network programs that are preempted by NBC O&O KNTV (channel 11) due to special programming. The station has the distinction of being the only MyNetworkTV affiliate in existence with a Big Three-style newscast schedule (i.e.; in that it carries morning, 4, 5, 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts), totaling around 60 hours each week. It is also the only television station in the U.S. to carry a seven-hour morning newscast, which airs from 4-11 a.m.
