Search "get featured on KTLA" today and you will find TV segments, contests and morning show clips, but nobody explaining the thing you are actually looking for: a published article about your business on ktla.com. This page is that explanation: what the article is, how it differs from a segment, how publishing works, what decides the price, and the one email that starts it.
First, the distinction: a KTLA article is not a KTLA TV segment
When most people say "featured on KTLA", they picture a business owner on the Morning News set. That is a TV segment: it airs once, it lives in viewers' memory for a day, and then it is gone. You cannot link to it in a proposal, you cannot put it in front of a customer who is checking you out next month, and you cannot send it to anyone.
A sponsored article on ktla.com is a different product entirely. It is a written feature about your business, published on the station's website, where it stays live and linkable permanently. Someone searching your business name in six months can still find it. That is the product this page arranges, and the distinction matters because the two get confused constantly. If what you want is airtime, this is not it. If you want a permanent, sendable article on Los Angeles' own station website, keep reading. Our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content explains how routes like this one work across outlets.

Why KTLA carries weight in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the second largest television market in the United States, and KTLA is its original station: the first commercially licensed television station in the western United States, on air since 22 January 1947. The station brands itself "L.A.'s Very Own", and like the best station slogans, it is simply true. KTLA is not a national brand with a Los Angeles office. It is a Los Angeles institution that happens to have a website your customers read every day.
That weight shows in the numbers. In our outlet directory, KTLA carries a Domain Authority of 86 and roughly 13 million monthly organic visits to ktla.com, across its local news, weather, traffic, sports, entertainment and community coverage. Figures like that are supporting proof, though. The real value is recognition: when a customer, a landlord or a partner sees your business featured on the site of the station they grew up with, the credibility question is already answered.
The Morning News effect: why KTLA's audience is a morning habit
KTLA's dominance of Los Angeles mornings did not happen by accident. The KTLA Morning News launched in July 1991 as the market's first live local morning newscast, at a time when the network morning shows reached Los Angeles on a three hour tape delay. While the networks were showing yesterday's recording, KTLA was covering breaking news live, and Los Angeles noticed. The audience built then has stayed for decades.
Today the Morning News runs weekdays from 4 a.m. to 12 p.m., mixing news with entertainment and lifestyle features, and ktla.com inherits that daily habit. The website is where that audience continues its day, checking traffic, weather and local stories, and an article on ktla.com sits inside that daily habit.
What a sponsored article on ktla.com looks like
The finished product is a full article page about your business on ktla.com, sitting within the site's normal structure alongside its local news, weather, traffic, sports, entertainment and community sections. It carries your business name in the headline, your story in the text, and a live link to your website.
It is labelled as paid content. That labelling is stated plainly here because it is part of the product's honesty: readers can see the article is sponsored, and that transparency is exactly what makes the placement legitimate and durable. Before anything goes live, the article is reviewed, so what publishes has passed a check rather than simply being uploaded.
We describe the article from the placement process itself, because that is what we arrange, and we will not invent details about the station's internal workings to sound more inside than we are. You get a real article, on the real ktla.com, labelled honestly, linked to your business, and permanent once published.
What your business gets from a KTLA article
First, the proof link. A live article on ktla.com that you can send to the customer comparing you with a competitor, attach to the proposal that needs one more reason to say yes, and paste into the email where a prospect asks why they should trust you. A link ends arguments that a pitch cannot.
Second, the badge. Adding KTLA to the "As Featured On" row on your own website tells every visitor, in one second, that Los Angeles' own station published a feature about your business. Nothing establishes a local business faster than the local station's name.
Third, permanence. Unlike the segment that airs and vanishes, the article stays live, keeps being found, and keeps working while you run the business. It is a single purchase that behaves like an asset, not an ad buy that expires.
Who a KTLA article fits, and who it does not
This fits businesses that sell across Los Angeles and Southern California and need one strong local proof asset: home services, professional firms, clinics, retailers, restaurants with something to say, and regional brands whose customers check them online before buying. If your customer Googles you before they call you, a KTLA article is built for the moment they find.
It does not fit a business outside the Los Angeles market whose customers will never see or care about a Los Angeles station. It also does not fit anyone who actually wants to appear on television: an on-air Morning News segment is a different product, arranged a different way, and this page does not sell it.
How publishing on ktla.com works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and what the article should be about. That email is the entire application. No form, no account, no retainer.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm your business and topic fit the outlet, and you receive your individual quote. The factors behind it are covered in the next section.
Step 3: The article is prepared. You can supply a draft, or the article is written from your brief. Either way, you know the angle before anything is finalised.
Step 4: Review. The article is reviewed before publishing, and only then goes live on ktla.com.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the published KTLA link, ready to send to customers and add to your site.
Your protection is part of the arrangement before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing.
What decides the price of a KTLA article
There is no public price for a KTLA article, and any page that prints one should make you suspicious. The price is set per placement because the factors genuinely differ: the placement and section the article runs in, the production involved, whether you supply the draft or it is written for you, the link requirements, and the timing. So every placement is quoted individually, by email, with no obligation to proceed.
Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs walks through the factor model in full. What we can promise on this page is simple: the quote you receive is the whole price, and the full refund protection above stands behind it.
Labelling, links and how long your article stays on ktla.com
Three facts, stated the way we would want them stated to us. The article is labelled as paid content, because it is paid content, and the labelling protects both you and the placement. The article links to your website, and paid links carry sponsored attributes under paid content rules, so nobody here will promise you a plain editorial dofollow link; that product does not exist and sellers who offer it are inventing it. And the placement is a permanent article, with the terms confirmed in writing with your order, not a campaign page that disappears when a flight ends.
The honest limit sits alongside those facts: no one can guarantee you rankings, a traffic figure, or sales from a placement like this. What is guaranteed is the thing itself, a permanent, credible article about your business on the website of the station Los Angeles trusts.
