The only local LA channel with worse technical staff is KCOP Channel 13, still number one in technical screw-ups running for several decades. Feel the pride 
.
Channel 5 can be a technician's joke. The problems are especially bad during the Morning Show because it is live and often far too complex for the folks there. They have far more technical screw-ups on the fly. Channel 5 doesn't pay as high a salary compared to the big network O&O local channels--for any of its staff in front of or behind the camera. Yet channel 5 KTLA gets good ratings and is the biggest money maker for Tribune. No, not just the biggest money maker among their TV stations. It is the biggest money maker of ALL of Tribune's holdings. The budget can be increased to bring things up to high standards at 5 , but they are CHEAP at Tribune, and KTLA has always been CHEAP back to the days when Gene Autry owned the station (great ratings back then, too) and later sold it to Tribune. MY goodness. Even KCET seems more professional than channel 5 at times.

Not only that. KCOP is the only LA station in HD that shows absolutely no HD. Even the Angel games are in SD on KCOP HD.DishSubLA said:The only local LA channel with worse technical staff is KCOP Channel 13, still number one in technical screw-ups running for several decades. Feel the pride
FYI, I have Direct so we get KCOP HD as well as OTA (if you want to call it HD)...:lol:
Still ongoing this morning, so please call.
(Really, doesn't anyone in LA watch KTLA as a local via DISH and complain? The last time KTLA had issues on DISH it took weeks to resolve.)
DISH tech support advised others hearing this to call in and report it as the more reports they get, the higher the issue is on their queue…
I hear it exactly the same way on two 722s and a 211.

That's the perfect description!
