A reporter for People magazine has also claimed Trump came onto her while he was married to the now-first lady, a charge he has denied. It infuriated me that he would call all the women who shared stories of his bold advances liars. I totally believe them. Trump has called the comments "locker room talk" and denied assaulting women. Trump denies it.

Hope delivered what was perhaps the most famous line of the telecast when, at the program's start, he identified the new station as "KTL" — mistakenly omitting the "A" at the end of the call sign. KTLA was originally affiliated with the DuMont Television Network, of which Paramount held a minority stake; it disaffiliated from the network in and converted into an independent station.
Despite this, the FCC still considered Paramount as controlling manager of DuMont due to the strength of the company's voting stock and their influence in managing the network. The service never gelled into a true television network, but during KTLA's early years, the station produced over a dozen series that were syndicated in much of the U.

KTLA sought a different programming strategy from its competitors during the late s and s, emphasizing syndicated reruns of off-network hour long dramas with a heavy emphasis on western-themed programs such as The Gene Autry Show, Bonanza, The Big Valley, first-run talk shows, movies and sports programming.
Children's programs, with the exception of weekend morning Popeye cartoons which originally came from former parent Paramount, but had been sold off to what became the syndication arm of United Artists Television , were also phased out. Popeye continued Sunday Mornings but with only the s King Features episodes. These shows ran weekend mornings and weekend early afternoons. The station continued to emphasize hour long dramas during the day on weekdays but began to run recent sitcoms in the evenings.
Under Tribune, KTLA continued to acquire high rated off-network sitcoms as well as talk shows for its schedule. The station added the syndicated Action Pack programming block to its schedule starting in mid-January KTLA spent much of the early and mids battling KTTV channel 11 for the spot of the top-rated independent station in Southern California, offering a variety of general entertainment programs including movies, sports and off-network reruns; it took the top spot among the market's independents full-time after KTTV became a Fox charter station in October The station stayed out of the kids' business throughout the s, unlike other Tribune stations but acquired stronger programming like Full House, Cheers, Punky Brewster, and Silver Spoons.
The station also mixed in a few classic sitcoms weekday early mornings as well as on weekends. In the summer of , the station debuted a two-hour weekday morning newscast. Sitcoms ran on the station 9 a. On November 2, , the Warner Bros. Due to the company's ownership interest in the network initially a 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 primetime 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 In September , KTLA added afternoon cartoons and Saturday morning cartoons from the network's newly launched Kids' WB block, bringing weekday children's programs back to channel 5 for the first time in close to 25 years.

The Tribune Company purchased the Times Mirror Company then-owners of the Los Angeles Times in , 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 under a joint venture with CBS through until it sold the station to Metromedia in that company would eventually become Fox Television Stations upon Metromedia's merger with News Corporation ; 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 in order to acquire the Times.
The Times and KTLA were separated on August 4, , when Tribune spun off its publishing division into a separate company; KTLA and Tribune's other broadcasting properties as well as its Media Services and real estate units remained with the original company, which was renamed as the Tribune Media Company.

On October 14, , KTLA unveiled a new logo and a redesigned news set, bringing back the classic stylized number "5" that was previously used by the station from to , and eliminating The CW's logo from regular usage though it is still used in promotions for the network's programs. The "LA" in the KTLA callsign is rendered in bold lettering to emphasize the station's Los Angeles location and coverage area, similar to a previous wordmark logo used from to The prospect of Sinclair acquiring KTLA was met with consternation among station employees, due to concerns over the influence the company might have on the station's news content.
Sinclair has been known for requiring its stations to run news reports and commentaries that reflect a conservative perspective; the city of Los Angeles and some adjacent and outlying suburbs are predominately liberal, while some outlying areas elsewhere in the market including portions of Orange County lean conservative. On August 9, , Tribune announced it would terminate the Sinclair deal, and concurrently filed a breach of contract lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court, alleging that Sinclair engaged in protracted negotiations with the FCC and the DOJ over regulatory issues, refused to sell stations in markets where it already had properties, and proposed divestitures to parties with ties to Sinclair executive chair David D.

Veteran newsman Stan Chambers, who was hired by KTLA almost a year after its launch and remained with the station until his retirement in , was given the honor of "throwing" a ceremonial mock switch from the analog to digital position, signaling the engineers to shut down the analog signal at its Mount Wilson transmitter site at p.
