KTTV, channel 11, is an owned-and-operated television station of the Fox Broadcasting Company, located in Los Angeles, California, United States. KTTV is owned by the Fox Television Stations division of 21st Century Fox, and operates as part of a television duopoly with KCOP (channel 13), Los Angeles's MyNetworkTV station. The two stations share studio facilities within the Fox Television Center in West Los Angeles, and KTTV's transmitter is located on Mount Wilson.

The station is available to DirecTV subscribers in the few areas of the Western United States that do not have an over-the-air Fox affiliate.

KTTV's origins can be traced to December 1946, when the station's license and construction permit was secured by the Times-Mirror Company, publishers of the Los Angeles Times. It was one of five licenses that were granted simultaneously by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to parties interested in launching commercial television stations in Los Angeles. In 1948, CBS, which owned KNX radio, purchased a 49% interest in the station and assisted in completing its construction in exchange for making channel 11 the network's Los Angeles television outlet. KTTV began operations on January 1, 1949 and was operated initially by KTTV, Incorporated, the Times/CBS-owned holding company. The station's first telecast was the Tournament of Roses Parade, which channel 11 would air every New Year's Day until 1995.
