January 22, 1947…KTLA Becomes The 1st Commercial Station In The West

THIS IS A MUST SEE HISTORY OF EARLY LOS ANGELES TELEVISION!
I’ve put up only two stories today so you can have the time to see them. This amazing video is packed with ultra rare historical footage of not only KTLA, but from the early days of all the Los Angeles television stations!

You’ll hear from Bob Hope, Betty White, Steve Allen, Dinah Shore, Dick Enberg and MANY more! This 40th Anniversary broadcast posting even has a very good timeline of what comes where on the video, but if you can, make the time to see it ALL! It is one of the very best historical presentations you will ever see! ENJOY AND SHARE! -Bobby Ellerbee

    How about KNXT? Call letters should never have been abandoned!

    I’ve got that 40th anniversary program, plus two Stan Chambers autobiographies about his time at KTLA and all the great stuff they did. Now, I’ve got that Joel Tator book on order.

    Should accompany “Los Angeles Television” written by Joel Tator,
