KPRC is also the call sign of a radio station in Houston. Some of the articles referencing the radio station link instead to this page.
"On August 30, 2004, KPRC started to air Passions given the fact that NBC does not tolerate their local affiliates of pre-empting their programs at all."
NBC might not like it, but they have to tolerate it. Under FCC rules, stations can pre-empt network programming anytime they want, since they are the ones that have to answer to the FCC. Now, when it comes time for affiliation renewal, the network may bring up excessive pre-emptions as a reason to deny renewal, but that doesn't happen very often.

[edit] KPRC's callsign meaning
According to smecc.org, KPRC's callsign meaning was originally taken from its former owner and newspaper, Houston Post. Now this is what puzzles me: if it originally meant Kotton Port Rail Center, where was this place located because I never really heard about that?? --GETONERD84 18:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
It may be like the situation of radio station KHCB having both meanings. —SirChan 07:06, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clarity?
This sentence makes no sense: When the NBC soap opera Sunset Beach debuted in 1999, KPRC -- along with its sister station WDIV -- preempted the show; both stations also had preempted the earlier soap opera Sunset Beach.
Since I do not watch soap operas on this station, I cannot guess what was meant. Anyone else have an idea? I don't want to cut it if someone knows what was originally meant.--Firsfron of Ronchester 04:57, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
They were the only NBC affiliate holdouts. — SirChan 07:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
The first Sunset Beach in that sentence should have read "Passions debuted in 1999."
[edit] Former Anchors/Reporters
Seems like a decent idea; though, Cynthia Hunt and Cindy Garza aside, I cannot recall any others. OriginalGuest 12:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sourcing in Newscasts
"KPRC was also hit with a boycott by black civil rights activists following the demotion of two African-American anchors, a decision that had nothing to do with race. " According to whom? This sentence needs to be properly qualified.--Jteague82 06:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
