Nearly six years is an eon in the digital world, but after first filing a breach-of-contract and age-discrimination suit against Ktla-tv and owner Tribune Media back in early 2013, the man once widely known in SoCal and around America as Kurt the Cyberguy got a multimillion-dollar 2.0 reset from a jury.
After just three hours of deliberation Thursday, a collection of Kurt Knutsson’s peers in Los Angeles Superior Court awarded the TV tech personality just over $3.9 million in his battle with the local station that was his home for decades and its Chicago-based owners.

This is a review of Gake no ue no Ponyo, directed by Hayao Miyazaki and starring Cate Blanchett, Noah Lindsey Cyrus, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Frankie Jonas, Kurt Knutsson, Cloris Leachman and Liam Neeson. There isn’t a digitally enhanced frame throughout the film. Director Hiyao Miyazaki at the Venice film festival explained animation as ‘something that needs the pencil, needs man's drawing hand.’ But while critics have seen the film as antidote to Avatar ‘fever’ and the introduction to even more emphasis on digital, sadly, it hasn’t been met by audiences with the same enthusiam as recent Miyazaki blockbusters Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle.
