KRCR-TV (channel 7) is a television station licensed to Redding, California, United States, serving as the ABC and Fox affiliate for the Chico–Redding market. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside full-power station KCVU (channel 20) and five low-power stations: Antenna TV affiliate KXVU-LD (channel 17); MyNetworkTV affiliates KRVU-LD (channel 21) and KZVU-LD (channel 22); Univision affiliate KUCO-LD (channel 27); and UniMás affiliate KKTF-LD (channel 30). The stations share studios on Auditorium Drive east of downtown Redding and maintain a news bureau and sales office at the former Sainte Television Group facilities on Main Street in downtown Chico. KRCR's transmitter is located atop Shasta Bally, west of Redding.

KAEF-TV (channel 23) in Arcata operates as a semi-satellite of KRCR, serving the Eureka market. As such, it clears all network programming as provided through KRCR but airs a separate offering of syndicated programming; there are also separate local newscasts, commercial inserts and legal station identifications. Although KAEF maintains its own studios (shared with LMA partner KBVU) on Sixth Street in downtown Eureka, master control and some internal operations are based at KRCR's facilities.
