Sports. The station aired select Dodgers games from their arrival in Los Angeles in 1958 until 1989 (and games featuring the California Angels from their establishment in 1961 to 1989) via NBC's Major League Baseball broadcast contract; this included the Dodgers' World Series victories in 1963, 1965 and 1988. Channel 4 was the station of record for the NFL's Raiders during their tenure in Los Angeles from 1982 to 1994, and also aired any Lakers and Clippers games that were part of the NBA on NBC. This included the Lakers championships in 2000, 2001 and 2002 (game 4 of the 2002 series was the last NBA game aired on NBC) and the team's appearance in 1991. Additionally, it served as the home station for the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena from its first telecast in 1952 until 1988. KNBC also provided local coverage of Super Bowl VII, which was hosted at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (and was the first Super Bowl televised in the host city), as well as Super Bowls XI, XVII, and XXVII, which were hosted at the Rose Bowl. Furthermore, the station provided local coverage of Super Bowl LVI, which was held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The first Super Bowl, which was also held at the Coliseum and broadcast on both NBC and CBS, did not air on KNBC or KNXT (channel 2, now KCBS-TV), due to the NFL's blackout policy of the time, which did not allow home telecasts of games regardless of whether they were sold out, including playoffs and the league championship game, and that policy extended to the host cities for the first six Super Bowls—Los Angeles, Miami (II, III, V), and New Orleans (IV and VI). The American Football League, before its merger with the NFL starting with the 1970 season, also had a similar home blackout policy to the NFL's, and starting with the 1973 season, home games were allowed to be televised in the local market, so long as the game sold out 72 hours in advance (the blackout rules were lifted completely in 2015). This allowed KNBC to televise any Los Angeles Rams inter-conference home games via NBC's AFC Sunday afternoon package if the game was sold out in advance; the first such game was the final home game of the 1973 season, as the Rams hosted the Cleveland Browns at the Coliseum on December 16.
