Yet another milestone in the ‘decline and fall’ of California, this time reported on X by long-time Los Angeles independent TV station KTLA, Channel 5.
LEAVING LOS ANGELES: L.A. County saw the largest decline of any county in the United States in 2025, according to new census data.
It’s no record to be ‘proud’ of. Snake Plissken was unavailable for comment.

I watched the Spade Cooley and Ina Ray Hutton shows on Ch. 5 in the 1950s. It was one of only three channels we could get some 50+ miles NW of LA.
Like much live TV of the era, in retrospect it was embarrassingly poor stuff in snowy B&W but we watched it anyway. The Ch. 5 broadcasts of the New Years Day Rose Parade were better than the networks’ offerings.
