KRON-TV is a television station in San Francisco, California, serving as the Bay Area affiliate of the MyNetworkTV programming service. Owned by Young Broadcasting, it broadcasts on virtual channel 4.1 from a transmitter atop Sutro Tower. The station maintains studios in downtown San Francisco's Western Addition section. Its signal is relayed on low-powered K41AF in Ukiah. KRON-TV is a news-intensive station with around 60 hours a week of locally-produced newscasts, it has the distinction of being the only MyNetworkTV affiliate with a newscast schedule mirroring that of a major network affiliate. The station was originally an NBC affiliate from its November 1949 sign-on until December 2001, and was one of that network's strongest stations; KRON had an informal secondary affiliation with the network from 2010 to 2011, carrying programming normally seen on NBC's present-day San Jose-licensed O&O station KNTV during sports programming and breaking news events.
