bogusabc7breakingnews 15 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 KTLA’s evening “Sky 5” pilot reporter, Tim Lynn is calling it a career tomorrow, saying: In June 1972 I graduated from high school and 18 days later entered the United States Coast Guard, that’s where my journey began. After 4 enlistments and a very long 14 months at the University of California Police Department LA, I joined the Culver City Police Department, transferred to Huntington Beach Police Department, where I retired with a total 30 years in law enforcement to begin a new career in media.

FiveNews 188 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 KTLA has a track record of bringing on former KCBS/KCAL refugees. Vera Jimenez (PM Wx), Glen Walker (Midday Anchor), Henry DiCarlo (Early AM Wx), Kaj Goldberg (weekend Wx), Rick Chambers (weekend PM anchor) have all been brought over. All under former GM Don Corsini who worked at KCBS/KCAL as well. These former 2/9ers have done really well with KTLAs personality driven formula. I envision Sandra having a bigger role at KTLA down the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MorningNews 849 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 It’s also remarkable how much the personalities bloom when they jump to KTLA. Who would have know that Chris Schuable was as funny. Henry DiCarlo is a completely different personality than his days on CBS 2. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because KTLA recognizes that viewers like authenticity & the station respects their employees for being real. It paid off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MorningNews 849 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Is KTLA on a temporary set this morning or are my eyes deceiving me? Edit: they’re not, just an extremely close shot of Lynette and Eric who are also sitting really close to one another. Edited June 30 by MorningNews Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MorningNews 849 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 KTLA has really created one of the most outstanding news products and teams in the country. If I recall, Barbara Beck didn’t appear for the 25th anniversary special either right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrschimpf 814 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 KTLA is in hot water for not giving one side of the SAG-AFTRA national elections equal time as Sam Rubin is campaigning on a certain slate, and had candidates for that side on the "Morning News". If the other side doesn't get equal time, SAG-AFTRA could redo their election and force Nexstar to pay for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FiveNews 188 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Huge KTLA stan here, but that will be a tough timeslot to differentiate themselves in. I know its not about ratings anymore, but dollars. My assumption is that recently acquired Sandra Mitchell will have a presence. You have Pat Harvey on 2, Chuck and Colleen on 4, Marc Brown on 7, hell even Christine Devine on 11 all at 5pm. Going to be tough to get any recongition without a strong LA name. Just my 2 cents. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FiveNews 188 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 FTV reporting that FOX40 (Sacramento) anchor Pedro Rivera is heading down to LA to anchor the new KTLA 5pm with Cher Calvin. Not sure if there will be any other anchor changes as Cher also co-anchors the 6pm, 10pm and 11pm with Micah Ohlman. Micah solo anchors at 6:30. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FiveNews, agreed. That's a crowded field. Also you have a good point -- dollars matter more than ratings. But my penny and a half is that KTLA, which even under new ownership never seems to need big budget cuts, has some kind of brand presence, and even with five stations going at 5 p.m. I bet it does as well as FOX 11, which has never made much impact at that hour (remember "Studio 11LA?") But evidently they are tabbing a new anchor from outside, and that won't help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 7 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I guess Micah Ohlman can only work so many shifts. He's been a main anchor at KTLA for a dozen years. In a while he'll almost be in position to approach Hal Fishman status. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
