It was the last television station in Los Angeles operating on the VHF band to debut and the last of ABC's five original owned-and-operated stations to make its debut, after San Francisco's KGO-TV, which signed on four months earlier. It was also the last of the Los Angeles "classic seven" TV stations which were originally on the VHF dial, prior to the 2009 digital conversions. No other stations debuted in Los Angeles until 1958, when educational station KTHE operated briefly on channel 28, followed by the launch of the first two commercial UHF Los Angeles stations launched (KIIX [now KSCN-TV] and KMEX-TV, channels 22 and 34, respectively) in 1962.
