As far as I know, Mt Wilson. I don't think the new site is ready yet.

I'm not familiar with the top of the mountain, just what comes off it
radio/tv wise.
San Diego's mountain top sites are pretty much open space. Except for the
CBS and ABC affiliates that occupy a 750 foot mountain on the coast in La
Jolla. The ABC affilate owns a mountain called Mt San Miguel, which has the
UHF NBC and others on it. A friend of mine asks me to help him work a site
on that mountain every once in a while. His repeater site is in the same
building that houses a commercial radio station and UHF channel 51. While
he's busy figuring out something technical with his gang of commercial
radios, I'm off sneaking a peak at all the other radios in the building.
