I removed the comments regarding Sam Rubin
- Sam Rubin Entertainment Reporter who uses his position to dish out the dirt on anyone who will not sit for an interview. Ethics is not in his vocabulary.
This is nothing but an opinion. If you have a source or some other backup please add it before restoring this.

"Founded 1948" is after first broadcast date of 1947.

[edit] The CW logo
If KTLA's new The CW logo has been seen, can't it be placed on the article? 70.149.166.184 00:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- That would require an interested Wikipedian in LA (likely check) who can make a screen capture and crop it to show a meaningfully-sized logo. Boy, there is no limit to the curses I have for Tribune... Morgan Wick 05:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of newscast schedules?
To all editors, please see the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Newscast_schedules.2C_redux, where the issue of removing locally originated programming schedules is discussed. Calwatch 05:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Digital Subchannels
Does anyone know what the digital subchannels for KTLA are? I mean, what is on DT.2, DT.3, and DT.4, since it only lists DT.1 (digital signal for station), and DT.5 (The Tube) on the Los Angeles TV Market template. RaccoonFox • Talk • Stalk 19:38, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nothing is on the other DT's. The 5.5 is a virtual channel number and actually shows up on 31-2 in the "real" channel space. Calwatch 20:43, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What happened?
- Where did the logos go?? WizardDuck 01:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I have been wondering the same things about the logos here as well as for other TV pages such as WNYW's page. If somebody is going to remove something--for whatever reason--could you please at least mention this here, and explain why this has been done? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.67.17.78 (talk)

- Historical TV logos are being deleted by User:A Man In Black because he believes they violate policy. Although he claims the issue is settled, there is an ongoing RFC at Wikipedia:Fair use/Historical logos in galleries. Please contribute to this discussion and help determine what to do about this.

[edit] Possible Sale
KTLA's license went up for renewal on December 1 and, as of December 25, nothing has happened as far as selling the station is concerned. Can we safely assume that Tribune is keeping KTLA - HG707 17:25, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. The sale of the station is independent of the license renewal. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't go until well into the first quarter (or even 2Q)...--Mhking 17:29, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KTLA news in HD?
Somebody has stated that KTLA's news is now in HD effective 1/1/2007; however, I don't think that transition has been made yet.
I've been watching their newscasts lately, and although the picture quality on their digital signal is really good, they only seem to be stretching the image to be ALMOST widescreen 16x9. The newscasts aren't labeled HD, either, and I would expect KTLA to promote this fact loudly and often as soon as it happens. I think the third paragraph in the article should be taken out, at least for now.
It's also misleading to state that "everything" KTLA broadcasts is in HD, because that's just not possible right now, nor will it probably ever be the case. The same is true for KABC-TV, cited in the same paragraph.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ktla cw5 los angeles.jpg
Image:Ktla cw5 los angeles.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goldwyn studios connection?
Back in the 70's, KTLA used to show a huge number of Danny Kaye films etc. from Samuel Goldwyn. I really enjoyed this, but also wondered what the connection was, as with CBS and Columbia films. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.159.105 (talk) 22:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
