I haven't heard anything from KTLA in Los Angeles yet, but I have eMails in to some people I know there. KTLA has pride in their history as the first commercial TV station on the west coast, and they also had a prewar TV experimental station (W6XYZ) owned by Paramount Pictures. If I had to guess, I'd bet they'll do something special. The first face seen on KTLA was Bob Hope, so sadly that's not possible. But they DO have a newsman; Stan Chambers, STILL WORKING THERE who started in '47 when they went on the air! I hope he gets involved.
