Television
The Times-Mirror Company was a founding co-owner of then-CBS turned independent (and eventual Fox TV flagship) television station KTTV. It became that station's sole owner in 1951, and remained so until the station was sold to Metromedia in 1963. For the next seven years, Times-Mirror had no television station until it purchased the Dallas Times Herald, the owner of KRLD-TV (now KDFW) in Dallas, Texas, in 1970.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“... there is no reason to confuse television news with journalism.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
