KFMB-TV first signed on the air on May 16, 1949; it was the first television station in the San Diego market. The station was founded by Jack O. Gross, who also owned local radio station KFMB (760 AM). San Diego Mayor Harley E. Knox was present at the station's first broadcast. The station cost Gross $300,000 to build.[4] KFMB-TV has been a primary CBS affiliate since its sign-on (and is the only television station in the market that has never changed its network affiliation), however in its early years, channel 8 also maintained secondary affiliations with ABC, NBC and the DuMont Television Network. In October 1949, KFMB-TV signed an affiliation agreement with the short-lived Paramount Television Network; upon affiliating with Paramount, channel 8 quickly became that network's strongest affiliate. The station received a network feed of Paramount programs that included among others, Hollywood Opportunity,[5] Meet Me in Hollywood,[5] Magazine of the Week,[5] Time For Beany[6] and Your Old Buddy; the station aired six hours of Paramount programs each week.[5][7] Since there was no technical transmission network to distribute Paramount programs to its affiliates, KFMB instead carried the network's programming via a transmitter link from the broadcast tower of Paramount's Los Angeles affiliate KTLA atop Mount Wilson, {{convert|90|mi|km}} from the KFMB-TV transmitter site on Mount Soledad. In November 1950, Gross sold the KFMB stations to John A. Kennedy, a former publisher of the San Diego Daily Journal newspaper.[8] Gross continued to buy and sell interests in radio and television stations throughout the 1960s and 1970, including KALB-TV, KSDO and others. Later he was a founder of the City Bank of San Diego and active in fundraising for various Jewish causes.[9] Gross was married to Loretta Glazer Gross (1906-1999),[10] who was an heir to the Fort Worth based Uncle Jo Bottling Company.[11] Gross died May 1, 1985.[12] His sons were television writer Jack Gross Jr. and KNSD entertainment critic Laurence Gross. He had five grandchildren. His grandson is Beverly Hills Weekly publisher Josh E. Gross.[13][14] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.lajollalight.com/news/2011/aug/01/la-jollas-jack-o-gross-led-the-way-in-local/ | title=La Jolla's Jack O.
