About KRCR-TV
KRCR-TV (formerly known as “Channel 7R”) is an ABC-affiliated station that serves the northern Sacramento Valley, including the towns of Redding & Chico. Its studios are located in Redding, where the station is licensed. Its transmitter is located atop Shasta Bally. The station broadcasts all of the well-known news & entertainment programs offered by ABC but also has several of its programs, including local news programs @ 5, 5:30, 6:30 & 11 on weekdays & 6 & 11 on weekends.
History of KRCR-TV
The station was founded in 1956 as KVIP-TV by William B. Smullin of California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc. (COBI), owners of KOBI in Medford, Oregon & KOTI Klamath Falls, Oregon as a primary NBC affiliate with a secondary ABC affiliation. So the ABC schedule was available through translators of Stockton’s KOVR in Chico & Redding. Ch. 7 became KRCR in 1963.
It suddenly flipped from a primary NBC affiliation to a full-time ABC affiliation in 1978, which started the 7 year process for building KCPM (now KNVN) shortly after. This arrangement was unusual for a 2-station market (especially 1 of Chico/Redding’s size). A local ABC affiliate finally came to Northern California after 15 years of several unsuccessful attempts. KRCR, KAEF & KFWU (now KUNO) aired FOX full-time on off-network hours until 1994, when KCVU switched to FOX & KBVU signed on.
It was purchased by Lamco Communications of Texas in 1995. KRCR operate by California Broadcasting, Inc., run by general manager Bob Wise, until 2004. When the station was sold to current owners Bluestone Television. Then, in December 2006, the station was sold (along with 12 other Bluestone stations) to Diamond Castle Holdings. A New York-based private equity firm.
How a reader-oriented ask-the-newsroom effort took digital subscribers to the Redding Record Searchlight
Here’s an idea to steal and adapt: So accelerate the growth of digital subscriptions by encouraging reader engagement and answering their questions.
So it is the Better News Series to a) showcase innovative/experimental ideas from the Knight-LenFest Newsroom Initiative and b) share replicable strategies that will benefit the entire news industry. This “win” comes from senior reporters Michelle Chandler, Jessica Skropanic, David Benda, and Jenny Espino, local editor of the Redding (Calif.) Record Searchlight; and Silas Lyons, USA TODAY Network Community Journalism Center administrator. Therefore record Searchlight participated in the Pointer Table Stakes Program in 2020-2021.
What communities do you serve and what can you tell us about your organization’s history?
The Record Searchlight is the top news source in Shasta County and surrounding rural counties in Northern California. Therefore the newspaper hints at its modern history to the first copy of the Redding Record in 1938 when construction work on the Shasta Dam began. R-S’s local coverage and investigative reporting shape the community conversation on critical issues such as homelessness, wildfire prevention, law implementation, growth and childhood trauma, and education.
What problem are you trying to solve, and why is solving the problem strategically important to your organization?
Their team’s challenge is winning lost readers or building trust with them. We believe this is essential on our path towards a sustainable future. Reading Record Searchlight a) solved the trust issue with its traditional audience and b) accelerated the growth of digital subscriptions by encouraging reader engagement and contribution to a reader-driven franchise called “Ask the Record Searchlight.”
