* Virtual Channel - The channel numbers seen displayed on television screens. There were used prior to the advent of digital television in 2009, but maintained as "virtual" channel numbers, so as to provide some degree of familiar continuity after the change-over from analog to digital television. In some cases, virtual channel numbers are the same as the real channel number (see "RF Channel" in note below). Since digital channel transmissions allow for multiple programs to run simultaneously, digital channels are expanded to decimal numbers (such as KCBS-TV virtual channel 2 broadcasting on channels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4).
† RF Channel - The actual or real channel numbers through which digital signals are transmitted. For example, KCBS-TV virtual channel 2 actually broadcasts on RF channel 31. As with virtual channels, RF channels are expanded to decimal numbers for simultaneous sub-channel programming (such as KCBS-TV RF channel 31 broadcasting on channels 31.1, 31.2, 31.3 and 31.4).
Note: "-DT" are stations orginally established as digital. "-TV" stations were analog stations. Since all U.S. television stations are now digital, there is no real difference. "-CD" and "-LD" are low-power digital television stations.
1) KCAL TV Channel 9, was purchased by CBS Corporation in 2002 and operates as a sister station to KCBS Channel 2.
2) KCOP TV Channel 13 was transferred in September 2006, along with much of the WB/UPN network, to MyNetworkTV, a sister network (although separate) to the Fox Network. Both are owned by News Corporation.
3) From 1969 to 1989, KHOF 30, later KZKI, was operated as a religious TV station by Dr. Gene Scott's Faith Tabernacle. The station was purchased by Paxson Communications in 1995 and was transformed into KPXN 30. Paxson changed its name to ION Media Networks in 2005.
Almost 10 years after its founding in 1977, KSCI channel 18 began offering programming in languages other than English and grew into a virtual television United Nations. It had become one of os Angeles County’s most linguistically diverse television stations and the leading Asian language television station in the United States. It provided programming and entertainment in 14 different languagesincluding Arabic, Armenian, Khmer, Cantonese-Chinese, English, Farsi, Hindi, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin-Chinese, Tagalog, Urdu and Vietnamese. By 2005, its Southern California Asian American audience stood at 2.5 million viewers. One of its programs, Kababayan Today, was believed to be the only North American-produced Filipino talk show. After a period of financial difficulties, however, the station was sold to new owners in 2012. In June 2017, the station began dramatically reducing non-English programming in favor of English-language infomercials.
NBC Channel 4 announced in September 1995 a name changeover from "KNBC 4" to "NBC 4." Though the official FCC registration remains KNBC, the station decided to use the shorter designation due to greater viewer recognition.
In 1964, Gene Autry purchased KTLA of Los Angeles for $14 million. He sold it in 1983 for $245 million.
Prior to its purchase by the now-former WB Network in 1995, KTLA Channel 5 was one of the leading independent TV stations in the nation.
