KTLA

Today, KTLA honors #Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas.

It’s Nexstar Founder’s Day of Caring: a company-wide initiative celebrating the 28th anniversary of our parent company. KTLA volunteered at Project Angel Food, helping prepare and package 3,000 meals they provide each day for our local community. 💪🍽️🧡💙 #NexstarNation #NexstarFDOC2024

KTLA 5 is profoundly saddened to report the death of Sam Rubin. Sam was a giant in the local news industry and the entertainment world, and a fixture of Los Angeles morning television for decades. His laugh, charm and caring personality touched all who knew him. Sam was a loving husband and father: the roles he cherished the most. Our thoughts are with Sam’s family during this difficult time.

2024 #RemarkableWomen Nominee: Michele Wulfestieg When you or a loved one is diagnosed with a terminal illness, where do you turn for help in the final days of your life? Sure, there is hospice. But what if you can’t afford it? That was a question that one Orange County woman couldn’t shake. As a stroke survivor herself, Michelle Wulfestieg got to work on a dream of creating a comfortable space for patients who would otherwise have no place to turn. https://lnkd.in/gwA279wZ
