Due to the company's ownership interest in the network (initially a 12.5% stake, later expanding to 22%), Tribune signed its seven existing independent stations (one such station, Atlanta's <a href="/wiki/WANF" title="WANF">WGNX</a>, joined <a href="/wiki/CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a> instead one month prior to The WB's launch), along with an <a href="/wiki/WLVI" title="WLVI">eighth</a> that the company had acquired the following year, to serve as The WB's charter affiliates.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> With this, KTLA became a network affiliate for the first time in 47 years when The WB launched on January 11, 1995. Like with other WB-affiliated stations during the network's first four years, KTLA initially continued to essentially program as a de facto independent station as The WB had broadcast only a two-hour prime time schedule on Wednesday nights at the network's launch; the station continued to broadcast films in prime time along with some first-run syndicated scripted series on nights when network programs did not air. The WB would eventually carry prime time shows six nights a week (Sunday through Friday) by September 1999. In September 1995, KTLA added afternoon <a href="/wiki/Cartoon" title="Cartoon">cartoons</a> and Saturday morning cartoons from the network's newly launched <a href="/wiki/Kids%27_WB" title="Kids' WB">Kids' WB</a> block, bringing weekday children's programs back to channel 5 for the first time in close to 25 years. The station continued use the "Channel 5" brand it used prior to its WB affiliation (with The WB logo simply tacked onto the station's "Gold 5" logo) until 1997, when the station overhauled its on-air branding to "KTLA 5, L.A.'s WB". The Tribune Company purchased the <a href="/wiki/Times_Mirror_Company" title="Times Mirror Company">Times Mirror Company</a> (then-owners of the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times" title="Los Angeles Times">Los Angeles Times</a>) in 2000, bringing the newspaper into common ownership with channel 5; ironically, the Los Angeles Times was the original owner of Fox owned-and-operated station KTTV from 1949 (under a joint venture with <a href="/wiki/CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a> through 1951) until it sold the station to <a href="/wiki/Metromedia" title="Metromedia">Metromedia</a> (successor to DuMont's owned and operated stations) in 1963 (that company would eventually become <a href="/wiki/Fox_Television_Stations" title="Fox Television Stations">Fox Television Stations</a> upon Metromedia's 1986 merger with <a href="/wiki/News_Corporation" title="News Corporation">News Corporation</a>); as FCC rules prohibited the common ownership of newspapers and broadcast outlets in the same market, Tribune filed for and was granted a waiver by the agency to acquire the Times. The Times and KTLA were separated on August 4, 2014, when Tribune <a href="/wiki/Corporate_spin-off" title="Corporate spin-off">spun off</a> its <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Publishing" title="Tribune Publishing">publishing division</a> into a separate company; KTLA and Tribune's other broadcasting properties (as well as its <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Media_Services" class="mw-redirect" title="Tribune Media Services">Media Services</a> and real estate units) remained with the original company, which was renamed as the Tribune Media Company.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> KTLA unveiled a new branding campaign on January 1, 2005, that omitted all references to its over-the-air channel 5 position (although the references returned after the station became a CW affiliate one year later). The new look included a modernized logo with a halo emblem over the KTLA calls and WB logo, and a change in branding to KTLA, The WB. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="CW_affiliation">CW affiliation</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=KTLA&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: CW affiliation" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner (now <a href="/wiki/Warner_Bros._Discovery" title="Warner Bros.

KTLA produces a 15-minute sports wrap-up show every night at 10:45 pm, during KTLA 5 News at 10:00; produces a 30-minute show, KTLA 5 Sports Final, on the weekends at 11:35 p.m. after KTLA 5 News at 11:00. KTLA's news department is located inside the former <a href="/wiki/Warner_Bros._Cartoons" title="Warner Bros. Cartoons">Warner Bros. Cartoons</a> studio (known as the Hal Fishman Newsroom since 2000) at the corner of Van Ness and Fernwood in Hollywood. Although KTLA does not cover police pursuits as much as other stations, it has put more emphasis in local crime stories, as opposed to politics, health and other serious news. KTLA had created <a href="/wiki/Synergy" title="Synergy">synergy</a> between Tribune Company entities. For example, entertainment reporter <a href="/wiki/Sam_Rubin" title="Sam Rubin">Sam Rubin</a> would often be featured in addition to his KTLA work as the main Los Angeles-based entertainment reporter for Chicago sister station WGN-TV. Los Angeles Times columnist <a href="/wiki/David_Lazarus" title="David Lazarus">David Lazarus</a> also reported on consumer stories from the paper's headquarters in <a href="/wiki/El_Segundo,_California" title="El Segundo, California">El Segundo</a>, before switching full time to KTLA in 2022.<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a> For many years, Channel 5's news department, which has existed since its sign-on, was considered the benchmark of Los Angeles television. In 1958, KTLA began operating a well-equipped helicopter for newsgathering known as the "<a href="/wiki/Telecopter" title="Telecopter">Telecopter</a>", and was the most advanced airborne television broadcast device of its time; it was ultimately sold to <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a>-owned <a href="/wiki/KNBC" title="KNBC">KNBC</a> (channel 4), which flew the Telecopter with pilot <a href="/wiki/Francis_Gary_Powers" title="Francis Gary Powers">Francis Gary Powers</a> and cameraman George Spears until it crashed on August 1, 1977, killing the two on board. During the early 1960s, under the final years of ownership under Paramount Pictures, KTLA launched am:LA, a one-hour morning news program anchored by Stan Chambers, and with it, it was the first extended morning newscast in Southern California. Before eventually launching a 10 p.m. newscast in 1965, originally titled Newscene (also known over the years as The <a href="/wiki/George_Putnam_(newsman)" title="George Putnam (newsman)">George Putnam</a> News, NewsWatch, Channel 5/KTLA News at Ten and KTLA Prime News), KTLA had its weeknight evening newscasts airing at 7 and 11 pm, with the latter in direct competition with the network-owned local newscasts on KNXT (now KCBS-TV), KRCA-TV (now KNBC) and KABC-TV. Traditionally, the evening news programs are often serious and no-nonsense in nature and has received many journalism awards. Putnam and fellow KTLA news anchors Hal Fishman and Larry McCormick became icons in Los Angeles television news over the years. Accompanying his news anchoring career, McCormick also hosted Making It!, a <a href="/wiki/Public_affairs_(broadcasting)" title="Public affairs (broadcasting)">public affairs</a> program on the station which featured stories on the entrepreneurial successes of ethnic minorities. Its veteran field reporters have included 62-year KTLA veteran Stan Chambers and <a href="/wiki/Warren_Griffin_Wilson" title="Warren Griffin Wilson">Warren Wilson</a>. <a href="/wiki/Stu_Nahan" title="Stu Nahan">Stu Nahan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Keith_Olbermann" title="Keith Olbermann">Keith Olbermann</a> and Ed Arnold (former anchor of <a href="/wiki/KOCE-TV" title="KOCE-TV">KOCE-TV</a>'s Real Orange) formerly served as sports anchors. In March 1991, KTLA was the first station to air the infamous video of <a href="/wiki/Rodney_King" title="Rodney King">Rodney King</a>'s beating by three Los Angeles police officers, whose eventual acquittal sparked <a href="/wiki/1992_L.A._Riots" class="mw-redirect" title="1992 L.A. Riots">rioting within the city</a> in 1992. In July 1991, KTLA debuted the Los Angeles market's first live, local morning two-hour newscast, the <a href="/wiki/KTLA_Morning_News" title="KTLA Morning News">KTLA Morning News</a>, to compete with the network morning shows on <a href="/wiki/KABC-TV" title="KABC-TV">KABC-TV</a> (channel 7), KCBS-TV (channel 2) and KNBC (which each started at 7 am, as KTLA's program initially did). The program suffered from low ratings at first; however, the ability to cover breaking news live (as opposed to the network morning programs, which were aired on a three-hour <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_delay" title="Broadcast delay">tape delay</a>) attracted more viewers to the program. As time went on, the Morning News has enjoyed great ratings success, generally ranking number one in its main 7–9 a.m. time period. The program's success spawned rival KTTV to launch its own morning newscast, <a href="/wiki/Good_Day_L.A." title="Good Day L.A.">Good Day L.A.</a>, in 1993. From 1994 to 1995, the station aired gavel to gavel coverage of the <a href="/wiki/O._J._Simpson" title="O. J. Simpson">O. J. Simpson</a> <a href="/wiki/O._J._Simpson_murder_case" class="mw-redirect" title="O. J. Simpson murder case">trial</a> anchored by <a href="/wiki/Marta_Waller" title="Marta Waller">Marta Waller</a> (this coverage was rebroadcast by other stations such as <a href="/wiki/Portland,_Oregon" title="Portland, Oregon">Portland, Oregon</a> WB affiliate [and future Tribune sister station] KWBP (now <a href="/wiki/KRCW-TV" title="KRCW-TV">KRCW-TV</a>)). The station debuted a midday newscast at noon in 1995, which later moved to 11 a.m. the following year, which lasted less than two years before it was canceled in 1997. In recent years, KTLA's newscasts have become more tabloid-based in nature, perhaps to compete with KTTV (both stations have rivaled each other in the ratings for many years). With this, KTLA has placed more emphasis on entertainment news and has featured personalities such as Mindy Burbano Stearns, Zorianna Kitt, <a href="/wiki/Ross_King_(presenter)" title="Ross King (presenter)">Ross King</a> and most recently <a href="/wiki/Jessica_Holmes_(television_presenter)" title="Jessica Holmes (television presenter)">Jessica Holmes</a> as entertainment reporters. In 2004, KTLA debuted a segment on its morning newscast titled "The Audition", in which several actors and actresses competed for a role as weathercaster on its 10 p.m. newscast. King won the first installment, followed by Holmes as the winner of the second installment (Holmes now serves as co-anchor of the 7–11 a.m. weekday block of the KTLA Morning News). On January 13, 2007, KTLA became the second television station in the Los Angeles market (after KABC-TV) to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in <a href="/wiki/High-definition_television" title="High-definition television">high definition</a>. On July 30, 2007, Hal Fishman anchored what would be his final newscast for KTLA. Following several days of hospitalization for a liver infection, Fishman died on August 7, 2007.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> KTLA's newscasts that day were dedicated to Fishman, for whom the station dedicated its news studio in 2000. After Fishman's passing, longtime Morning Show co-host Carlos Amezcua became the interim co-anchor on the 10 p.m. newscast. Local media speculated that Amezcua would be named full-time anchor of the prime time newscast; however, on September 4, Amezcua announced his departure from KTLA to replace <a href="/wiki/John_Beard_(news_anchor)" title="John Beard (news anchor)">John Beard</a> as co-anchor of KTTV's 10 p.m. newscast.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> Morning co-anchor Emmett Miller took over as interim evening anchor and was named as Fishman's permanent replacement on December 4.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> After former KCBS/KCAL general manager Don Corsini was appointed as KTLA's president and general manager in January 2009,<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> the station spearheaded an expansion of its news programming that year. On January 19, KTLA soft-launched a nightly half-hour 6:30 p.m. newscast<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> (the market's first since KCAL-TV and KCBS-TV ran newscasts in that slot – KCBS's being part of an hour-long 6 p.m. newscast – during the mid-1990s, prior to CBS's 2002 purchase of KCAL). Then on April 1, 2009, the KTLA Morning News was expanded by a half-hour to start at 4:30 a.m. and an hour-long midday newscast at 1 p.m. debuted.<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> On April 4, the weekend edition of the 6:30 p.m. newscast expanded to a full hour at 6 pm, with the 6:30 p.m. weekday newscasts following suit that September. Shortly afterward, KTLA expanded the station's traffic reports to the afternoon and evening newscasts (the weekday edition of the Morning News uses a dedicated traffic anchor, while traffic reports for all other newscasts are done by channel 5's on-air weather staff). In April 2011, KTLA added weekend morning newscasts (an hour-long newscast at 6 a.m. on Saturdays, which expanded to two hours at 5 a.m. in September 2012 and a three-hour Sunday newscast at 6 am; the Saturday morning edition aired in the earlier timeslot due to The CW's <a href="/wiki/Vortexx" title="Vortexx">Vortexx</a> animation block).<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> In August 2011, KTLA added a two-hour prime time newscast titled the KTLA 5 Sunday Edition from 8 to 10 p.m. on Sunday evenings, leading into that night's 10 p.m. newscast (the 8 p.m. hour of the program was later dropped in September 2013, while the 9 p.m. hour moved to 7 p.m. on October 7, 2018, to accommodate the return of The CW's Sunday night two-hour prime time block<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a>). On February 2, 2012, KTLA expanded the weekday edition of the KTLA Morning News to begin at 4 a.m. On May 9, 2014, the Saturday morning newscast was expanded to three hours and moved to 6–9 a.m., in a uniform timeslot as the Sunday morning newscast, causing The CW's children's program block at the time, Vortexx, to be aired to a two-hour tape delay (that broadcast expanded to four hours from 6 to 10 a.m. on August 6, 2016, further aligning it with the prior expansion of the Sunday morning newscast into the same four-hour slot on July 5, 2015, and pushing the successor One Magnificent Morning block back by an additional hour<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a><a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a>). The following month on June 16, KTLA quietly "soft launched" a half-hour nightly newscast at 11 p.m. without any promotion (becoming Tribune's first news-producing CW affiliate to carry a newscast in the traditional late news timeslot), its first regularly-scheduled 11 pm newscast since 1965.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> On December 26, 2014, KTLA added separate hour-long, weekday afternoon newscasts at 2 and 3 pm. The creation of the three-hour mid-afternoon news block—which expanded upon the existing 1 p.m. newscast—was in response to <a href="/wiki/CBS_Television_Stations" class="mw-redirect" title="CBS Television Stations">CBS Television Stations</a>' December 10 announcement that it would discontinue KCAL-TV's newscasts at 2 and 3 p.m. late that month to refocus newsgathering resources towards KCAL's 4 p.m. newscast and the respective evening newscasts on KCAL and sister station KCBS-TV. While the 3 p.m. broadcast was a permanent addition, the 2 p.m. newscast was intended as a temporary fill-in that ran until December 31, 2014 (it was replaced two days later on January 2, 2015, by a double-run of <a href="/wiki/Celebrity_Name_Game" title="Celebrity Name Game">Celebrity Name Game</a>).<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> In July 2015, KTLA became the first television station in Los Angeles to carry live audio simulcasts of its newscasts on the <a href="/wiki/IHeartRadio" title="IHeartRadio">iHeartRadio</a> app.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> On June 12, 2017, KTLA expanded the weekday edition of the KTLA 5 Morning News to 11 am.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> On January 6, 2018, KTLA expanded the weekend edition of the KTLA 5 Morning News to 11 am.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> On May 1, 2018, KTLA debuted an hour long newscast at 11 am.<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a> On October 7, 2018, KTLA moved its Sunday Edition up two hours earlier to 7 p.m. due to The CW adding prime time programming on Sundays until October 1, 2023.

On October 28, 1998, KTLA-DT signed on with the West Coast's first commercially broadcast high definition programming. It was on UHF channel 31 in 1080i 16:9 format. Frank Geraty was the KTLA Director of Broadcast Operations and Engineering, and Ira Goldstone was the Corporate VP of Engineering. At precisely 9 am, VIP Milton Berle threw the ceremonial "Transmit On" switch, as he did at the Chicago World's Fair in 1939 at the birth of analog television broadcasting. The modern day event took place during KTLA's signature morning news broadcast and KTLA HD programming began simultaneously transmitting for the first time along with its analog channel. KTLA-DT went on to do the first HD <a href="/wiki/Rose_Parade" title="Rose Parade">Rose Parade</a> and the first HD <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Dodgers" title="Los Angeles Dodgers">Dodgers baseball</a> game broadcasts in the several months that followed.
