KXLA (channel 44) is an ethnic independent television station licensed to Rancho Palos Verdes, California, United States, serving the Los Angeles area. The station is owned by Rancho Palos Verdes Broadcasters, Inc., whose president and majority owner, Ronald Ulloa, also owns Twentynine Palms–licensed KVMD (channel 31). KXLA's studios are located on Corinth Avenue (near Interstate 405) in West Los Angeles, and its transmitter is located atop Mount Wilson.
Overview
The station first signed on the air in December 2000 as KRPA as an affiliate of America One. The station changed its call letters to KXLA on August 8, 2001, with ethnic programming. The KXLA call sign was previously used by the Pasadena radio station now known as KWVE.
KXLA's transmitter was originally located on Catalina Island at Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found., but in 2004 it was moved to Mount Wilson, where most of the other stations in the Los Angeles market transmit.
On May 10, 2018, KXLA's main signal transitioned from 4:3 to 16:9, which allowed local programming and their local newscasts to be broadcast in widescreen.
In popular culture
The KXLA call letters were used in fictional form by the television station featured in the film The China Syndrome and the Bewitched TV spinoff Tabitha, with Lisa Hartman-Black in the title role. The call sign was also used by a radio station in the movie Joe Dirt.
