the station aired select games involving the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks via NBC's broadcast contract with the NHL, including Stanley Cup Finals victories in 2007 for the Ducks, and 2012 and 2014 for the Kings. Today, KNBC carries any Rams and/or Chargers games that are chosen for NBC Sunday Night Football (the station previously aired any Rams home inter-conference games from 1973 to 1994 when NBC had the AFC broadcast package), including the Rams' victory in Super Bowl LVI (notably as the second NFL team to play in and win a Super Bowl at its home stadium, although the Rams were designated as the visiting team). It will also be the home station when Los Angeles hosts the 2028 Summer Olympics and will share the Universal Studios lot with international broadcasters covering the Games.

In April 1968. channel 4 revamped its news programs into the KNBC News Service (stylized on the air as KNBC Newservice) which, when combined with the Huntley-Brinkley Report, comprised the first 2½ hour-long block of early-evening local and national news on a major-market television station in the United States. The KNBC Newservice lasted until March 1976, when the newscasts adopted the NewsCenter 4 title. NBC made similar changes to newscasts in other markets around the same time, and channel 4 shared the NewsCenter branding with sister stations WNBC-TV in New York, WRC-TV in Washington, D.C., and WMAQ-TV in Chicago.
