Reruns of the sitcom, which was filmed in Hollywood, are still popular among Southern California viewers and have continued to air in the L.A. area endlessly since the series ceased production in 1957, thus making KTTV only the second station in Los Angeles (KCBS-TV was the other) to continue airing the sitcom after it ended almost 50 years ago. The station no longer airs "I Love Lucy" Monday-Friday (instead airing in two one-hour blocks on KCOP), but KTTV does air the landmark sitcom on weekend aftenoons, usually between 4 and 6 p.m.
