Hearst Television
Hearst Television, Inc. (formerly Hearst-Argyle Television) is a broadcasting company in the United States owned by Hearst Communications. From 1998 to mid-2009, the company traded its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HTV." Hearst-Argyle was formed in 1997 with the merger of Hearst Corporation's broadcasting division and stations owned by Argyle Television Holdings II, which is partially related to the company of the same name who (in 1994) sold its stations to New World Communications, stations that eventually became Fox-owned stations (Hearst itself, unusual for any American broadcast group, has never held a Fox affiliation on any of its stations). Hearst's involvement in broadcasting dates to the 1920s. In terms of audience reach, Hearst is the third-largest group owner of ABC-affiliated stations, behind the E. W. Scripps Company and Sinclair Broadcast Group, and ahead of Tegna Inc., and the second-largest group owner of NBC affiliates, behind Teg ...

Louisville, Kentucky
Louisville ( , , ) is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 28th most-populous city in the United States. Louisville is the historical seat and, since 2003, the nominal seat of Jefferson County, on the Indiana border. Named after King Louis XVI of France, Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark, making it one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachians.

WPTA
WPTA (channel 21) is a television station in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States, affiliated with ABC, NBC, and MyNetworkTV. It is owned by Gray Television alongside CW+ affiliate WISE-TV (channel 33). Both stations share studios on Butler Road in Northwest Fort Wayne, where WPTA's transmitter is also located. History The station first signed on the air on September 28, 1957. It was founded by Sarkes Tarzian, an Indianapolis engineer whose company owned Bloomington's WTTV and several other stations in Indiana. The WPTA call letters come from the long tradition of other Tarzian stations that base the call letters upon the initials of family members of company management—in this case, Tarzian's children, Patricia and Thomas. Upon its launch, channel 21 took all ABC programming from NBC affiliate WKJG-TV (channel 33, now WISE-TV) and CBS affiliate WANE-TV (channel 15).

WKLO-TV
WKLO-TV was a UHF television station in Louisville, Kentucky, United States, that operated from October 18, 1953, to April 20, 1954. History Radio station WKLO had applied for a television station construction permit in 1947, shortly before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) imposed a four-year freeze on the grant of new stations. The application specified channel 13, but when the freeze ended, Louisville wound up with just two VHF assignments, forcing WKLO to seek UHF channel 21 for its station. WKLO's owner, the Mid-America Broadcasting Company, was approved for the permit on November 26, 1952. After initially proposing a tower in downtown Louisville, WKLO opted to build instead at the Floyds Knobs site in New Albany, Indiana, near a mast then being built by WAVE-TV. Like the radio station, it was aligned with ABC. Some DuMont Television Network programs were also seen. The first test pattern went out on September 7, 1953, but the first programs were broadcast on Oc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
