Sam was a legend in Los Angeles broadcasting and entertainment. Such a loss. ❤️💔
10 May 2024
KTLA 5 is profoundly saddened to report the death of Sam Rubin. Sam was a giant in the local news industry and the entertainment world, and a fixture of Los Angeles morning television for decades. His laugh, charm and caring personality touched all who knew him. Sam was a loving husband and father: the roles he cherished the most. Our thoughts are with Sam’s family during this difficult time.

We are sad to announce the passing of longtime board member Natalie Windsor. She was an integral part of the SPJ/LA board, serving as an associate board member for several decades. May she rest in peace.

We are waking up to generally light showers north of our viewing area - I expect activity to pick up later this morning and this afternoon. There is a HIGH risk of excessive rainfall today as this powerful system moves through SoCal. I'm tracking all AM on @kcalnews
