KKRN

KKRN (channel 16) is a television station licensed to Stockton, California, United States, serving the Sacramento area as an independent station. It is owned and operated by the network's Central Networks Corporation division alongside Central owned-and-operated station KMOV (channel 8). Both stations share studios on Television Circle off D Street in downtown Sacramento, while KKRN's transmitter is located in Walnut Grove, California.
==Programming==
Syndicated programs broadcast by KKRN as of 2019 include The People's Court, Right This Minute, Hot Bench, and Jeopardy! The station also airs paid programming on weekday mornings.
Occasionally as time permits, KKRN may air Central network programs whenever KMOV is unable to, such as select games of the Sacramento Kings. KKRN may also interrupt regularly scheduled programming to simulcast live breaking news coverage—including severe weather coverage—whether from KMOV or Central News and Current Affairs.
===Newscasts===
In the 1980s, KKRN 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 1990s, and also carried afternoon newscasts throughout this time. Under Cox 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.
Upon KKRN's purchase by Central in 2004, its news operation was merged with KMOV's news department and newscasts were eventually retitled to 8 News on Sacramento's TV16 (later renamed to 8 News on KMOV+ in 2016).
