Chronicle Publishing Company
The Chronicle Publishing Company was a print and broadcast media corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California that was in operation from 1865 until 2000. Owned for the whole of its existence by the de Young family, CPC was most notable for owning the namesake "San Francisco Chronicle" newspaper and KRON-TV, the longtime National Broadcasting Company (NBC) affiliate in the San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco–Oakland–San Jose) television media market.
San Francisco Chronicle
The competition between the "Chronicle" and "Examiner" took a financial toll on both papers until the summer of 1965, when a merger of sorts created a Joint Operating Agreement under which the "Chronicle" became the city's sole morning daily while the "Examiner" changed to afternoon publication (which ultimately led to a declining readership).
