The same building was also home to television station KHJ Channel 9 from 1955 until the late 1980s. That station was under the control of RKO General, the vestigial remains of RKO Pictures.

KHJ-TV was acquired by Disney in 1988. The station's call letters were changed to KCAL and they vacated the Melrose Ave location, simultaneously dismissing all of the employees of KHJ-TV.
Hollywood used to be quite dense with radio and television broadcasters. To the best of my knowledge, only one remains: television station KTLA, occupying the old Warner Brothers studios on Sunset.
