stations to begin broadcasting all locally produced programs in high definition, and in addition, the two stations operate in a completely tapeless newsroom. This newsroom is named in honor newscaster Jerry Dunphy, who worked at both stations during his career. With the move to Studio City and KCET's later move to Burbank, KTLA is currently the only remaining station in Los Angeles (either in radio or television) whose studios are operated out of Hollywood. KCAL-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 9, at 1:10 p.m. on June 12, 2009, and converted its broadcasts exclusively to digital television as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 43 to VHF channel 9. Sister station KCBS-TV took over the channel 43 allocation as it moved its digital signal from channel 60 as a result of the phaseout of channels 52–69. On December 4, 2019, CBS Corporation and Viacom remerged into ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global). On January 5, 2023, as part of a general rebranding of its news department coinciding with the launch of new morning news blocks, KCAL changed its branding to KCAL News, which was adopted across KCBS-TV's newscasts on the same day. Programming Although KCAL-TV is an independent station, it will occasionally air CBS programming due to extended breaking news coverage or special events that may result in programs being unable to air on KCBS-TV. Syndicated programs on KCAL-TV (as of November 2022) include Hot Bench, Judge Mathis, The People's Court, Funny You Should Ask, Family Feud, and The Neighborhood. For E/I programming, KCAL has the Go Time syndicated block. KCAL was the Southern California home of the annual MDA Labor Day Telethon between 1997 and 2011. In June 1979, KHJ-TV aired "Thames on 9", a week-long prime time programming stunt that featured programs from Thames Television, then a member of the British ITV network. Shows that aired during that week included Man About the House (on which the American sitcom Three's Company was based) and The Benny Hill Show; a similar stunt had aired on KHJ-TV's former New York City sister station WOR-TV two years earlier. From 1981 to 1985, KHJ-TV was home to Elvira's Movie Macabre. KHJ-TV was home to the live broadcast of the Strawberry Festival Parade in Garden Grove, California, from 1986 until 1989.
