KXLA channel 44 is an independent television station licensed to Rancho Palos Verdes, California and serving the Los Angeles area. It telecasts Asian programming in Japanese (English subtitled), Korean and Vietnamese as well as infomercials. Channel 44 signed on the air in December 2000 as KRPA and broadcast programming from the America One network. The station changed calls to KXLA on August 8, 2001.

In addition to Asian language programming in the evenings and early mornings, KXLA also broadcasts public affairs and children's programs for one hour weekday afternoons and shopping programs weekend afternoons and overnight on the weekdays. Infomercials fill all of the remaining time on the station's current schedule.

KXLA is owned by Rancho Palos Verdes Broadcasters, Inc., whose president and majority owner is Ronald Ulloa, who also owns digital station KVMD channel 23. KVMD, licensed to Twentynine Palms, California, broadcasts KXLA's programming on its subchannel 23.2 to the Inland Empire. In turn, KXLA carries KVMD's programming on 44.2.

KXLA's trasmitter was originally located on Catalina Island, but in 2004 was moved to Mount Wilson, from where most of the other stations in the Los Angeles market transmit.
