1949–1951

The origins of KTTV began in 1947 when FCC granted the license and construction permission to the Times Mirror Company, owner of Los Angeles Times at the time in order to expand the market of Southern California. The next year, CBS purchased the future station by 49% of division which became the CBS affiliate for two years since the first day of broadcasting, which occurred on January 1, 1949 on Channel 11, when broadcasted the Tournament of Roses Parade in Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena; becoming the fourth television station in Los Angeles. Since its foundation, KTTV means Times Television, named after the first owner of the station.

1951–1954

Later in 1950, CBS owned KTSL after the demise of Thomas S. Lee whence changed the call letters to KNXT (today KCBS-TV). Leaving KTTV with the total ownership of Los Angeles Times, in order to avoid FCC intervention that barred the duopoly at that moment. After ending the CBS affiliation, DuMont agreed with KTTV to become its local station until 1954, when DuMont moved to KHJ-TV until its dissolution.

1954–1960

Once again, KTTV became independent, with a co-ownership by NTA Film Network.

1963–1967

In 1963, the Times Mirror Company sold the station entirely to Metromedia, that became station sister station of both radio stations, KLAC (AM) and KLAC-FM, which FM station swapped the ownership to KMET in 1966. All happened when KTTV maintained its call letters at those years.
