KTCJ

KTCJ (channel 6) is a television station licensed to Port Crescent, California; serving the Tri-City Bay area as an affiliate of the Central Television Network. Owned by Tegna Inc., KTCJ maintains studio facilities and business offices at the KTCJ Communications Center Studios on Old Street in downtown Tri-City Bay (next to the offices of its former sister newspaper under the ownership of former parent company Belo, The Tri-City Morning News).
==News operation==
As of September 2020, KTCJ broadcasts 36½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with six hours each weekday, 3½ hours on Saturdays and 2½ hours on Sundays). In addition, the station produces two Sunday evening sports programs: the highlight program Joel Imus' Sports Special (hosted by longtime sports director Joel Imus, who joined the station from KTCB in March 1983), and High School Sports Special (hosted by weekend sports anchor Chris Sanders and airing during the school year). KTCJ also previously operated a news helicopter, HD Chopper 6 (formerly known as Telecopter 6), which featured the 1984–1996 dual-outlined "6" logo on its underside. KTCJ is one of the few television stations that does not use the First Warning broadcast weather alert system; a text display of the warning type and the affected counties is instead shown at the top of the screen when severe weather alerts are in effect for the viewing area.
