Owned by the Tribune Company , KTLA is an affiliate of The CW Television Network . KTLA’s studios are on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood and its transmitter is located atop Mount Wilson . The station’s signal covers the Southern California region and KTLA is also available as a regional superstation via cable and satellite in the United States and Canada . Bob Hope served as the emcee for KTLA’s inaugural broadcast, which was broadcast that evening from a garage on the Paramount Studios lot. The program, titled as the “Western Premiere of Commercial Television”, featured appearances from many Hollywood luminaries. Hope delivered what was perhaps the most famous line of the evening when, at the program’s start, he identified the new station as “KTL”, mistakenly omitting the “A” at the end of the call sign. A 10-minute fragment from KTLA’s first broadcast exists at the Paley Center for Media. KTLA’s facility is also home to Sunset Bronson Studios (formerly Tribune Studios), where shows like Greed , Fox’s Celebrity Boxing specials, WKRP in Cincinnati , Judge Judy , Hannah Montana , Solid Gold , Name That Tune , Family Feud , Win Ben Stein’s Money , Lingo , The Newlywed Game , MADtv , Judge Joe Brown , and the later parts of the 2009-10 season of Let’s Make a Deal have been produced over the years. Former owner Gene Autry, reporters Stan Chambers and Larry McCormick , news anchors Hal Fishman and George Putnam , and KTLA founder Klaus Landsberg—have received stars on the Walk of Fame. In addition, KTLA continued its celebration on the weekend after Thanksgiving by airing a 60-hour marathon of classic shows that aired on KTLA in the past. KTLA also aired retrospectives of historic Los Angeles news stories during its weekend newscasts. However, the retro news segments were canceled on November 24 due to extensive coverage of the Corral Canyon fire in Malibu, California . Among the programs shown during the marathon were The Honeymooners , The Jack Benny Program , The Little Rascals , Wonder Woman , and Peter Gunn . On October 14, 2009, KTLA unveiled a new logo and a redesigned news set, bringing back the classic stylized number 5 previously used by the station from 1980 to 1997.
