KTLA 5 News Thread

[JTT 115]

KTLA + exist online.   Would the station consider creating a subchannel for ktla +?  If so, a couple of months ago,  when TBD channel left 5.4 to go to 11.3, that would have been good time to create ktla + as a subchannel.

The whole point of streaming/digital outlets is to reach people who are not watching traditional, OTA TV.

Do they need a sub channel when the main channel airs 20 hours of news? 

[JTT 115]

The subchannel schedule on TV could be different than that online.  

 

In the future, the network will probably have more sporting events that it will air on the main ktla.  If there's a news event that needs to be covered during those events,  the subchannel would be a great way to do that.  At other times, the subchannel could air the locally produced programs like California Cooking, Frank Buckley interviews, LA Unscripted,  & etc.  They can produce more local programs or import local programs from other nextstar stations.  The station doesn't have to be all news like the online version.

Mark returned this morning and explained his complications and recovery. Glad he is back. Frank was off and it was only fitting that one of the other KTLA Morning News OGs, Eric Spillman, was present for his return.

An unfortunate circumstance happened earlier today where KTLA's Twitter/X account accidentally put out the N-word due to a "technical error" which they apologized for. They were blocking ppl for a time after it was posted just for mentioning that it was a "technical error"

I completely believe this because what used to be a good tool for managing accounts in TweetDeck is probably now a bodged together online-only mess because the guy who took over the site destroyed the downloadable app that let you do this all offline THEN send the muted words onto their lists. I don't know the TweetDeck experience right now, but adding every variation of the r-slur because that place refuses to moderate anything just as an individual user now was a nightmare and a half.

Oof. I guess the lesson here is to start the process with "softer" offensive words.

 

It's probably easier to explain how you accidentally posted the word "poop" rather than what they posted.

Unfortunately, some of KTLA’s news vans got damaged during the ICE protest/violence chaos yesterday. Hopefully they can be repaired soon.

Also worth noting, Newsnation was simulcasting KTLA overnight again.

I'm really disgusted with how biased KTLA has become. They have always been biased towards the police, they employ many retired officers, but the last week or so of coverage has been like watching pro police propaganda. The way anchors and reporters keep injecting pro-police commentary while ignoring and defending anything negative that the police have been doing during these protests is just astounding. I don't expect opinions when I watch KTLA, I know they aren't going to express left wing views I agree with, but I feel like i'm watching FOX News with the MAGA opinions the anchors keep expressing.
