That's really interesting that there won't be local news on KCBS itself before 6am from Monday.

I'm guessing most people tune in after 6 - but I wonder how many people who normally watch before 6 will make the move to KCAL as opposed to KABC/KNBC/KTLA further down the dial.

I believe KCAL is the stronger watched station,  that's why they are having KCBS essentially reduce itself to a 1 hour simulcast newscast in the morning.    The hard part is the habit, the people who normally watch the other channels out of routine might  be hard to switch to  channel 9, after watching on 4,5,7,or 11.  Hopefully the people who watched KCBS in those hours also don't decide to switch to anything but 9.
