Not only was the station on UHF, but there simply wasn't enough programming to go around even in a market as large as Los Angeles. The station operated on a half-day schedule, usually signing-on in the early afternoon and leaving the air in the late evening. KBSC offered a general entertainment format with cartoons, film shorts, sitcoms, and old movies. These were shows that other stations passed on, such as: Speed Racer, The Mighty Hercules, Felix The Cat, Kimba the White Lion, Underdog, Banana Splits, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Ultraman, Hoppity Hooper, Johnny Sokko, Gigantor, Tennessee Tuxedo, Three Stooges, Little Rascals, The Munsters, Leave It To Beaver, Groucho, Life Of Riley, Flash Gordon, and others.

Programs rarely flowed from one to the other; most of the cartoon programming was punctuated by long breaks consisting of a shot of the station's logo backed by the Bert Kaempfert single, That Happy Feeling. Bert Kaempfert (born Berthold Kämpfert; 16 October 1923 – 21 June 1980) was a German Orchestra leader and That Happy Feeling was an instrumental Pop music single composed by Guy Warren and which is the second cut on the 1960 Bert Kaempfert album
In 1976, Kaiser exited broadcasting, and sold most of its stations to its partner, Field Communications. Field Communications was a division of Field Enterprises, which owned the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Daily News However, KBSC wasn't included in the deal because of its low ratings, and it was sold to Oak Communications. The general entertainment format stayed on from noon to 7:00 PM. After 7:00 PM on weekdays, and after 2:00 PM on weekends, due to the subscription TV boom, Channel 52 became the Los Angeles-area outlet for the ON-TV service, which carried movies and live sports. For the station in Hamilton Ontario that used the branding "OnTV" during the 1990s see CHCH-TV.
In 1978 the station began 24 hour operations, running ON-TV from 6:00 PM until 6:00 AM daily. The station ran public affairs and religious shows from 6:00 AM to noon. In 1979, KBSC sold its general entertainment shows to KTLA. The station retained its religious programming from 6:00 AM-9:00 AM and ON-TV after 6:00 PM, and began to run Spanish programming from 9:00 AM-6:00 PM on weekdays and from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM on Saturdays. The station ran religious programming from 6:00 AM-1:00 PM on Sundays.
In 1980, the station started to show Spanish programming from 6:00 AM-6:00 PM on weekdays and 6:00 AM-12:00 PM on weekends and kept ON-TV for the rest of the day. In 1982, the station started showing only ON-TV or a scrambled signal 24 hours a day.
In September of 1985, KBSC was sold to Miami-based NetSpan, which became Telemundo in 1987. Telemundo is an American television network based in Hialeah Florida a suburb of Miami Florida. Year 1987 ( MCMLXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link displays 1987 Gregorian calendar) The ON-TV subscription/scrambled format was dropped. Channel 52 became KVEA.

On January 15, 2001, KVEA launched a number of news programs in order to compete with powerhouse KMEX. From 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM, Buenos Dias Los Angeles began transmission. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the station increased the Buenos Dias coverage by an hour, starting at 5:00 AM. The show was anchored by seasoned Mexican journalist and former CBS Telenoticias reporter, Ruben Luengas, anchor Azalea Iniguez, and Sal Morales in charge of weather and the lighter side of the news. Iniguez was KVEA's weeknight anchor who came to Los Angeles from her native Mexico. Morales, the 6 and 11 pm weather anchor for sister station KSTS-48, San Francisco was asked to join the team. Morales used to sub for Luengas when he was on vacation or working on an assignment. California Highway Patrol officer Guillermo Preciado joined them later on, providing traffic reports. The California Highway Patrol (CHP is a state agency that acts as the State police force of California. This concept began the element of "familia unida" implemented by news director Al Corral, which operates on the idea that Hispanic people are loyal to what they know and will shy away from getting anything from another source, including news. They clicked from day one, their real chemistry increased the viewership in the time slot. The ratings went up, and Buenos Dias came to be perceived as a real contender with KMEX's morning show, Primera Edicion. Nielsen Ratings are audience measurement systems developed by Nielsen Media Research to determine the Audience size and composition of television At present, this team is no longer in place. Only Azalea Iniguez remained in the mornings as head anchor for Buenos Dias.
At 6:00 and 11:00 PM, KVEA relaunched Noticiero 52 a las 6, with new graphics, new music, and a new anchor team: Lucia Navarro, plucked from KTMD, the Telemundo station in Houston; Vicente Calderon, a reporter from Tijuana; and Mario Solis. KTMD is a full-power Television station located in Galveston Texas transmitting over analog channel 47 digital 48 Tijuana (ˌtiːəˈwɑːnə Spanish, ti'xwana|ti'ʍana is the largest city of the Mexican state of Baja California, situated on the U The immensely popular Solis left after a disagreement with the station's management and ended up working for KNBC-TV, doing weekend sports. KNBC, channel 4 is an owned-and-operated television station of the NBC Television Network and the westcoast flagship station of NBC licensed to Los Angeles (Solis is also now a weekend talk show host on liberal talk radio station KTLK. A talk show ( American) or chat show ( Global) is a Television or Radio program where one person or group of people come together to Progressive talk (or liberal talk) is a Talk radio format in the United States devoted to expressing progressive / liberal viewpoints ) Mauricio Cardenas took his place. Vicente Calderon in turn saw his position shifted to KWHY, the newly acquired independent station, to anchor the 10:00 PM news with Pilar Gariboto. KWHY-TV Channel 22 is a Spanish Independent station owned by the Telemundo network / NBC, a subsidiary of NBC Universal. Independent station is a term for a broadcast radio or Television station which is more independent in some way compared to other "dependent" Navarro was joined by Raul Peimbert, former Telemundo/TELENOTICIAS news anchor. Raul Peimbert Diaz is a Mexican/American newscaster who also served as General Coordinator of Media Affairs for the Government of the Mexican State of Veracruz. Peimbert then left the station to take a government position in his native Mexico. Viewers were never able to familiarize themselves with the afternoon news team, resulting in low ratings. Management heralded the arrival of Eduardo Quezada, a longtime Univision anchor, to join Navarro at 6:00 and 11:00 PM. In early 2006, it was decided that Navarro and Quezada would give up the 11:00 p. m. newscast for a new show to be anchored by ex-morning news anchor Ruben Luengas. Luengas is now competing with former co-worker Raul Peimbert, who has returned to Southern California to anchor the KMEX evening news. Southern California, or So Cal, is defined as the southern portion of the U KMEX-TV, "Univisión 34 Los Angeles", is the Univision Owned-and-operated station in Los Angeles and the network's
KVEA also decided to be competitive on the weekends, producing newscasts to be anchored by former weeknight anchor Mirthala Salinas and former TV Azteca early prime anchor Eduardo Blancas, with Carolina Davalos doing the weather. TV Azteca is the second largest Mexican Television network. It was established in 1983 as the state-owned Instituto Mexicano de la Televisión Salinas eventually left the anchor desk and Azucena Gomez took her place. Blancas was let go, and former KTLA weekend sports anchor Claudia Trejos joined the fray, but not for long. She decided only a year after her hire to move to the network headquarters in Hialeah, Florida. Hialeah is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. She is no longer with the network.
NBC bought Telemundo in 2001 and included Channel 52 with NBC-owned and operated KNBC and KWHY and moved the station's news, promotions, and senior management operations to its Burbank facility. KNBC, channel 4 is an owned-and-operated television station of the NBC Television Network and the westcoast flagship station of NBC licensed to Los Angeles KWHY-TV Channel 22 is a Spanish Independent station owned by the Telemundo network / NBC, a subsidiary of NBC Universal.
In 2006, Eduardo Quezada left the station. That same year, the station branded their 11:00 p. m newscast "En Contexto," anchored by Luengas. This move became a complete success. "En Contexto" went on to become an award winning show. Replacing Luengas on 'Buenos Dias' was sports announcer and former KVEA weekend sports anchor, Adrian Garcia Marquez, who joined Azalea Iniguez. Adrian Garcia Marquez (born December 28, 1973 in San Diego CA) is an American Sportscaster who works for Fox Sports en Espanol and The new 'Buenos Dias' team included entertainment reporter, Victor Cordero and weather anchor Ericka Pino. After a successful ratings run, the team was changed again in the summer of 2007. Garcia Marquez was let go and moved on to Fox Sports. See also Fox Sports (Australia and Fox Sports Net. Fox Sports is a division of the Fox Broadcasting Company (part of Soon after, Iniguez took a leave of absence for personal reasons. Since then 'Buenos Dias' has struggled. The show is now temporarily being anchored by Dinorah Perez, who is also a reporter, and network weekend anchor, Rogelio Mora Tagle, who is currently in contract negotiations with KVEA. Telemundo Network will eliminate the Weekend Edition of Noticiero Telemundo, leaving Mora Tagle without a job.
Also in 2006, NBC's 2. 0 plan hit behind and in front of the cameras. Reporter Osmin Rodriguez, was let go as well as KWHY anchor Vicente Calderon. Jose Ronstadt took over the newscasts.
In July 3, 2007, a scandal erupted when Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa admitted to the Los Angeles Daily News that he had been having an extramarital affair with Telemundo 52's own reporter, Mirthala Salinas. The Mayor of Los Angeles is the Chief Executive Officer of the City Antonio Ramon Villaraigosa (born Antonio Ramon Villar Jr on January 23 1953 or Tony Villar, is the mayor of Los Angeles California. The Daily News of Los Angeles, also known as the Los Angeles Daily News, is the second largest circulating daily Newspaper of Los Angeles http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=local&id=5445161. As a result, Telemundo's Miami management replaced Manuel Abud, KVEA's general manager with Miami's WSCV-Telemundo 51, GM, Mike Rodriguez. News Director Al Corral was placed on a two month leave of absence alongside Mirthala Salinas.
Rodriguez now faces the task of the troubled news organization and the morale of employees. Rodriguez though has made it clear that he is not taking the job permanently, as his wife lives in the East coast of the United States and have a home in Miami.
