Early Days
KTTV’s establishment dates back to Dec 1946, when Times-Mirror Company received the license of the station by FCC. It was one of the five licenses auctioned by the commission in order to allow the launch commercial television stations in LA. CBS in 1948, acquired 49% interest in the TV and also contributed towards the completion of construction of facilities, KTTV signed on air on Jan 1, 1949 officially under the joint-ownership of Times/CBS holding company.
The operations were moved to Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood in May 1950 following the purchase of Nassour Studios. CBS in 1950 acquired KTSL and later renamed it as KNXT (now KCBS) but had to divest its stake in KTTV as per rules set by Federal Communications Commission. This left space open for Los Angeles Times to acquire full stake in KTTV on Jan 1, 1951. KTTV then became an affiliate of DuMont Television Network.
DuMont in 1954 started to share its programming with KHJ-TV leaving KTTV as an independent service.
As a Fox O&O Entity
News Corporation owned by Rupert Murdoch acquired the interest in KTTV and other Metromedia channels in 1986. Metromedia stations were later transferred to Fox Broadcasting Company which was launched on Oct 9, 1986. Under the new ownership, KTTV would introduce more syndicated talk and reality shows, additional Kids content/cartoons and other stuff including court shows. In 1996, the channel shifted its studios to a new facility near the Fox Network headquarters. A new website was launched by KTTV on May 16,, 2006.
