In the early 1980s, KCOP became one of the many stations in the U.S. to broadcast ''[[X-Bomber|Star Fleet]]'' (aka ''X-Bomber''), a science-fiction marionette series which originally debuted in Japan in 1980.
 
During the 1980s and early 1990s, it was the Los Angeles home of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' (as well as ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|The Original Series]]'' before it, as early as 1970), ''[[Hawaii Five-O]]'', ''[[Romper Room]]'', ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'', ''[[The Arsenio Hall Show]]'' and ''[[Baywatch]]''.<ref>{{cite news|last=Cerone|first=Daniel|title=Where KCOP Has Not Gone Before : Sci-fi and Adventure Series Give Station Major League Ratings|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1993-03-02/entertainment/ca-46_1_series-programming|access-date=March 21, 2011|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=March 2, 1993}}</ref> KCOP was the original Los Angeles home of the syndicated version of ''[[Wheel of Fortune (American game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'' (its longtime announcer until his death in 2010, [[Charlie O'Donnell]], was a former staff announcer and news anchor at KCOP). The station had also picked up ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' from [[KCBS-TV]] (channel 2) in 1985. Both game shows moved to KCBS-TV in 1989, and later to current home [[KABC-TV]] (channel 7) in 1992. Channel 13 aired select episodes of the Australian soap opera ''[[Neighbours]]'' from early June to late August 1991. The station tried airing movies six nights a week in 1992; however, they fared poorly.
 
KCOP partnered with [[WWOR-TV]] and [[MCA TV]] Entertainment on a two night programming block, [[WWOR-TV#Hollywood Premiere Network|Hollywood Premiere Network]] starting in October 1990.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Cerone|first1=Daniel|title=New Shows on the Block : KCOP Builds Prime-Time Programming in Move Against the Networks|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1990-10-07/news/tv-2689_1_prime-time-programming|access-date=April 4, 2017|work=Los Angeles Times|date=October 7, 1990}}</ref> KCOP carried the [[Prime Time Entertainment Network]] programming service from 1993 to 1995.<ref>{{cite news | last = Susan | first = King | title = Space, 2258, in the Year 1994 | page = 4 | work=Los Angeles Times | date = January 23, 1994 | url = http://articles.latimes.com/1994-01-23/news/tv-14354_1_desktop-technology | access-date = June 25, 2009 }}</ref> KCOP carried [[Worldvision Enterprises|Spelling Premiere Network]] at its launch in August 1994 on Thursday nights.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Kleid|first1=Beth|title=Focus : Spelling Check : Mega-Producer's Latest Venture is His Own 'Network'|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1994-08-28/news/tv-31982_1_aaron-spelling|access-date=April 24, 2015|work=Los Angeles Times|date=August 28, 1994}}</ref>
