KNVL

KNVL is a CBS affiliate that serves the Susanville/Quincy, CA market. It broadcasts on Channel 12. It is owned by Lorimar Television after purchasing the station from BeloOne and is a part of a duopoly in the market (Lorimar owns and operates MyTV/MNTV-Affiliate KMLL).
==History==
KNVL first began in 1955 as a CBS affiliate locally owned by KNVL-TV, Inc. In 1971, the station was sold to Pickford Communications, then later in 1986, to Palmer Communications. In 1995, Nationwide Communications bought the station. In 2002, the station's CBS programming including it's news went HD and became the first station in the Susanville area to go HD in the ratings. In 2004, the station was purchased by NO SIR GIFTS VENUES. There was a rumor back in 2007 when KNVL was going to be owned by CBS Corporation, as of 2008, it has not occurred. It was sold to BeloOne on December 27, 2015. On Sept. 26, 2016, the station was sold again when BeloOne sold the station to Lorimar Television, forming a duopoly in the market, since Lorimar also owns and operates MyTV & MyNetworkTV affiliate KMLL)
