KPIX To Produce Weekend Newscast For KBCW

By Merrill Knox 

Beginning January 8, San Francisco CBS O&O KPIX will produce a Sunday morning newscast for CW-affiliate KBCW.

The hourlong newscast will air at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings. It will be anchored by Anne Makovec (pictured) and Phil Matier, who are the current weekend morning anchors for KPIX. The two stations, both owned by CBS, operate as a duopoly in San Francisco.

The newscast will compete with Fox-affiliate KTVU, which is the only other station that has a local newscast in the 8 a.m. hour.
