11 Television Stations Will Give Saturday’s Lottery Show a Spin

Saturday night’s California Lottery “Big Spin” show will be carried by a full network of 11 television stations throughout the state, lottery officials said Thursday, but the Los Angeles and San Francisco channels have been changed.

The show, which will be taped beginning at 10 a.m. at an exhibition hall on the Cal Expo grounds in Sacramento, will be aired at 7:30 p.m. in Los Angeles by KTTV, Channel 11, replacing KABC, Channel 7, and at 9:30 p.m. in the San Francisco Bay Area by KTVU supplanting KGO.

Other stations in the network are KGTV (San Diego), KEYT (Santa Barbara), KOVR (Sacramento), KBAK (Bakersfield), KRCR (Redding), KVIQ (Eureka), KFSN (Fresno), KESQ (Palm Springs) and KNTV (San Jose).

Poor ratings have made some stations reluctant to continue carrying the show in which grand prize finalists spin a wheel for a chance to win as much as $3 million.
