By the 1970s KTTV offered the traditional independent schedule, consisting of children's programs, off-network reruns, sports programming, and movies, along with a 10:00 p. m. newscast. For a time during the mid-1980s, KTTV aired an 8 p. m. newscast, and moved its 10 O'Clock News to 11:00 p. m. in order to compete with KABC-TV, KNBC-TV, and KCBS-TV.

Australian newspaper publisher Rupert Murdoch and his company, the News Corporation (who were controlling owners of the 20th Century Fox film studio), purchased KTTV and the other Metromedia television stations in 1986, and those stations formed the basis for the new Fox television network.

The format initially was unchanged, but the 8 O'Clock News was dropped and the 11 p. m. newscast was reverted to its 10 p. m. slot shortly after Fox took over. KTTV dropped the morning cartoons for a new morning news show called Good Day L.A., which premiered in 1993.
