Cartoonist Jeff McNelly used to work for this company and I saved a lot of his editorial cartoons when Carter was in office and he was brutal in making fun of him. If he were alive today, he would be in cartoonists heaven with Biden and Harris.
PLEASE do something to stop PROGRAM MANAGER Bill Lamb from usurping the public airwaves to air his personal bias opinions. Bill Lamb – Program Manager – KTLA uses morning broadcast air time to broadcast one sided factually inaccurate political rants of dubious value to the community. The content of these tirades more than qualifies as indecent speech, filled with lies by omission, and gross misrepresentations of reality. I’ve let FCC know, advertisers know, and am appealing to the on air talent. SOMEONE MUST STOP BILL LAMB.
This is one of the companies that use RACISM as a propaganda tool. They make Billions on ILLEGAL ALIENS and will do anything to make sure they don’t loose that money. They promote racism as a way of getting people to support there agenda. They give MILLION in donations to the Democratic party. There board of directors has 1 woman on it, there are NO BLACKS or HISPANICS mainly old WHITE men. Just another company of BIGOTS, HYPOCRITES and RACISTS.
Your continued dispute and sub-sequential removal of local programming and On-Demand content with Spectrum has now impacted by your OWN estimates 14 Million people. You have removed general contact access off your website but this will work for the basic tool to get word out hopefully. Seeing how you both can’t seem to figure out a solution without causing the consumer pain & suffering both in interruption and financial impact of paying for what we are not receiving, it is only fair you both possibly get the consumer blowback. As promised in my email Friday…I have initiated intro steps for generating a class action lawsuit against you both. I highly suggest anyone impacted reach out to classaction.org and submit your request to join
nice job cutting ktla,the one channel I watch the most,your just a bunch of greedy pr**kssssssssssssssssssssssss.
I am dismayed, shocked and disgusted that Tribune has pulled FOX broadcasts off of our Spectrum cable. Spectrum says you are asking for ridiculously high increases in rates to prop up little watched stations such as WGN. This is unacceptable. Make a deal, I want to get our programs back! Don’t hijack Spectrum customers for profits!!
Concur buddy….see my post and tell your friends to jump on the bandwagon
Dear Tribune Corp Office, Nov 8, 2017, I am Ms Johnson, Acct #147545261, and in Early
October I submitted payment of 22.22 per my account thru Dec 3, 2017; It Included 16.25 as usual and a 5.97 late fee; It was to be Applied to my Credit Card but as things happen only 16.25 of the payment was applied; I Called twice to Note this and Requested Applying
the 5.97 bal to the March 3, Quarterly bill; I Assumed it was to follow Reason, the Supervisor Seemed to Agree; However Recently on the Same day I Received two additional bill: a) one Requested $10 to pay thru 12/10; b.) the Second Requested $11.25 to pay thru 12/17/17; I’m Not Sure how we lost the Clarity of those 2 Conversations but
I Hope that it Can be straightened out; Thanks, Ms Johnson
To whom it may concern : I’m getting fed up calling the number on your advertisment to stop delivery on my property that I never requested .I get persons answering after calling guaranteeing that delivery will cease . But to no avail iv’e requested supervisors and a foreign gentlemen answers and identifies him self as the supervisor , when I explain my complain he assures me the persons responsible who delivers to my address will be notified to discontinue delivery . And I can hear laughing in the back ground as though this is not seriously being taken . But again to no avail the delivery does not discontinue . I will take this to another level need be to discontinue delivery ,and the responsible persons fired for lack of interest in my concerns. Your reply will be greatly appreciated and your title when you answer.
The Rose Parade program presented by Leeza Gibbons, Mark Steines, and Micah Ohlman was by far, the best of all the programs on local television stations. I surfed each of the stations and I found that the KTLA Program was not only the most informative but the most “REAL” in delivery. The term “REAL” in this case is in reference to the delivery straight from the heart. In other words, it was NOT a case of acting.
Thank you for a job well done.

You people are idiots. People in Metro areas can use options to receive blacked out channels free but not us in outlying areas. You can stick your stations up your arse!
