from KRON-TV and KNBR radio in San Francisco) Pete Wilson – NewsPlus creator/co-anchor (1979–1983; later at KGO-TV and KRON-TV in San Francisco; died of a heart attack on July 20, 2007, at the age of 62) Monica Woods – chief meteorologist (1995–1999; now at KXTV) Controversies Nodar Kumaritashvili crash video On February 12, 2010, KTXL was one of the first media outlets to obtain a video copy of a luge accident that occurred during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, which resulted in the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili. KTXL made the editorial decision to post the video on its website, ahead of several major national and international outlets. The video clip raised some debate among journalism critics and editorial boards at several news organizations as to whether the footage should have been broadcast or posted online at all (the footage was briefly available on YouTube, but was removed several times due to copyright takedown notices filed by the International Olympic Committee). In an interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, a KTXL staff member cited fair use as the decision to post the clip on the website after questions arose about the safety of the luge track. The station also ran the complete footage (though with occasional pauses and a viewer discretion advisory) during its 5:30 p.m. newscast that evening. The video was later distributed by KTXL to several other Tribune-owned websites. Miss Universe 2015 During KTXL's broadcast of the Miss Universe 2015 pageant on Fox (in which host Steve Harvey accidentally announced the wrong winner of the pageant), the station's broadcast automation system was not put on pause, cutting off the penultimate minutes of the pageant inadvertently to start the station's 10 p.m. newscast on time (the broadcast ended two minutes longer than scheduled due to Harvey's mistake, a schedule discrepancy which remained despite Fox's western feed airing the event on a three-hour tape delay). This meant viewers in the Sacramento market were unable to see the apology and crowning of the winner. In addition, the newscast that followed did not mention the event. Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: On January 1, 2011, KTXL became a charter affiliate of the Antenna TV network upon its launch; it is carried on digital subchannel 40.2. Analog-to-digital conversion In November 1999, KTXL installed the first full-powered digital television transmitter in the Sacramento market operating on UHF channel 55.
