It's also the eighth commercial TV station in the United States, after WTTG in Washington, D.C., WBKB-TV (now WBBM-TV) in Chicago, WPTZ (now KYW-TV) in Philadelphia, WRGB in Schenectady, New York, and three TV stations in New York City: WNBT (now WNBC), WCBW (now WCBS-TV), WABD (now WNYW). For many years, KTLA was based on the studio campus of Paramount Pictures.
