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 newspaper grew in circulation to become the city's largest, overtaking the rival "San Francisco Examiner". The demise of other San Francisco dailies through the late 1950s and early 1960s left the "Examiner" and the "Chronicle" to battle for circulation and readership superiority.
