History

As WFIL-TV

The station, Philadelphia's second-oldest station (to KYW-TV), signed on the air on September 13, 1947 as WFIL-TV. It was owned by the Annenberg family's Triangle Publications, owners of The Philadelphia Inquirer with WFIL radio (AM 560 and FM 102.1, now WIOQ). Triangle had bought the radio stations only two years before and had ambitious plans for the station. A sign of this was when Triangle built the nation's first studio solely dedicated to television broadcasting, on 46th and Market streets. The WFIL stations originally broadcast from the Widener Building in downtown Philadelphia. Triangle later built one of the most advanced broadcast centers in the nation on City Line Avenue, a circular building across from rival WCAU-TV, in 1964. The station still broadcasts from there today, while the original studio was turned over to WHYY-TV. September 13 is the 256th day of the year (257th in leap years). ...

Channel 6 was the first station to sign on from the Roxborough neighborhood. It originally used a 600-foot tower, but in 1957 it moved to a new 1100-foot tower co-owned by WRCV-TV (now KYW). The new tower added much of Delaware and the Lehigh Valley to the station's city-grade coverage. Counties comprising the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania The Lehigh Valley (also known simply as The Valley) is a region in eastern Pennsylvania, in the United States. ...

WFIL-AM-FM had been an ABC affiliate dating to its days as the NBC Blue Network. However, WFIL-TV started out as a CBS station with a secondary DuMont affiliation, as ABC hadn't gotten into television yet. When WCAU-TV signed on in 1948, it naturally took the CBS affiliation as WCAU radio had long been the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia. ABC had launched its television network only a few months before and WFIL became the fledgling network's first affiliate. Ironically, ABC affiliated with WFIL before its flagship station, WJZ-TV in New York City (now WABC-TV) signed on in August. It retained a secondary DuMont affiliation until that network's demise in 1955. It has been suggested that NBC Radio City Studios, NBC Studios be merged into this article or section. ...

The WFIL stations were the flagship of the growing communications empire of Walter Annenberg's Triangle Publications, which owned the Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, TV Guide (which it started as a national publication in 1953), Seventeen Magazine, The Morning Telegraph, The Armstrong Daily, Daily Racing Form, ITA Electronics, McMurray Printers in Florida, McMurray Publishing in Canada which published the Canadian version of TV Guide for Triangle, and 16 radio and television stations. Triangle began to divest of its properties in 1969 when The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Daily News were sold to Knight Newspapers (later Knight-Ridder). Walter H. Annenberg Walter H.

As WPVI-TV

Capital Cities Broadcasting (later Capital Cities Communications) bought a portion of Triangle's broadcasting operations in 1971. Those stations included WFIL AM-FM-TV as well as WNHC- AM-FM-TV in New Haven, Connecticut, and KFRE-AM-FM-TV in Fresno, California. As a condition of the sale, Capital Cities had to spin-off the radio stations to various other entities (i.e., WFIL-AM to LIN Broadcasting and WFIL-FM to Richer Communications, which changed the call letters). WFIL-TV changed its calls to WPVI. Image File history File links Matt_O'Donnell_and_Tamala_Edwards_WPVI_2006. ... Image File history File links Matt_O'Donnell_and_Tamala_Edwards_WPVI_2006. ...

In 1986, ABC and Capital Cities merged, a move that stunned the broadcast industry since ABC was some ten times larger than CapCities at the time. Some have said that CapCities was only able to pull off the deal because of the profits from WPVI, which by this time was one of the most profitable stations in the world. However, the merged company almost had to sell off WPVI-TV due to a significant grade B signal overlap with WABC-TV. In the FCC's view, the merger gave the new company a duopoly forbidden by the regulations of the time. Capital Cities/ABC sought a waiver to keep WPVI, citing CBS' longtime ownership of WCBS-TV in New York and WCAU-TV in Philadelphia. The FCC granted the waiver, making WPVI an ABC owned and operated station. Distinctively, under that transition, WPVI is one of two Capital Cities-owned stations already affiliated with ABC (KTRK-TV in Houston is the other). A decade later, The Walt Disney Company purchased Capital Cities/ABC.

WFIL/WPVI has a rich history of local shows. One included Captain Noah & His Magical Ark. The hit TV show American Bandstand got its start from WFIL's original 46th and Market studio before ABC picked it up. As ABC's first affiliate, it also originated several network shows.

For many years, WFIL/WPVI preempted ABC programming in favor of local shows, even though it was ABC's first affiliate and, until the CapCities-ABC merger, its largest. In 1975, when ABC launched Good Morning America, WPVI preempted it. In 1976, the station preempted the 8 AM hour for Captain Noah (also seen on then-sister WKBW-TV in Buffalo while running the 7 AM hour. It began running Good Morning America in its entirety in 1978. When ABC picked up The Edge of Night in 1975, WPVI also preempted it. WKBS-TV ran the show from 1975 to 1983. By 1978, WPVI was preempting several other ABC daytime shows and WKBS broadcast them as well. When Family Feud moved from 11:30am to noon on June 30, 1980, WPVI continued to carry the show at 11:30am on a one-day delay until it opted to carry Loving upon its premiere in June 1983. Family Feud then moved to WTAF-TV for the summer, until September 1983 when the daytime version was no longer seen in the Philadelphia area. When Channel 48 went dark in 1983, WTAF picked up several more preempted ABC shows. Despite the preemptions, ABC was more than satisfied with WPVI.

Even in the years after WPVI became an ABC O&O, the station preempted an hour of ABC daytime programs in favor of local programs. The NBC affiliate in Atlantic City, WMGM-TV picked up the preempted ABC shows until 1987. They moved to WTAF-TV/WTXF-TV from 1987 to 1996. The shows were usually magazine shows, game shows or reruns of ABC prime time programs from other seasons but were not yet in syndication. In the 1990s, WPVI was down to preempting only half the Home Show which became Mike & Maty. Alternate meanings: See Atlantic City (disambiguation) Atlantic City is a city located in USA. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 40,517. ... WMGM-TV is an NBC affiliated station serving the Southern New Jersey. ...

In 1997, the station began carrying the entire ABC network schedule for the first time ever, at the expense of its own local show AM Philadelphia at 10:00 a.m. In 1997 after ABC cancelled the low rated Caryl & Marilyn: Real Friends, WPVI moved The Rosie O'Donnell Show to 10:00 a.m. and began airing ABC's new talk show The View live at 11:00 a.m. AM Philadelphia moved to 12:05 a.m. following Nightline and was renamed Philly After Midnight. After a few years Philly After Midnight was cancelled.

Today, WPVI carries the entire ABC daytime lineup as well as syndicated programming from Buena Vista (Disney's syndication division) such as Live with Regis & Kelly and Millionare. In fact, its entire daytime lineup, including syndicated shows, is identical to that of WABC-TV. Both stations have already replaced The Tony Danza Show with King World's new talk show from Rachael Ray, that started on Monday, September 18, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. King World Productions (aka King World Entertainment or simply King World) is the leading syndicator of U.S. television programming. ...

Action News

The station is famous for pioneering the "Action News" format, which was used by many stations throughout the United States. When it premiered on April 6, 1970 the format allowed the news program to have more stories than KYW's Eyewitness News due to strict time limits on story packages. Within a few months, the station surged to first place for the first time in its history. It had previously been an also-ran behind KYW and WCAU, which was surprising given its newspaper roots. WPVI went back and forth with KYW for first place for most of the 1970s. Since 1977, however, WPVI has dominated the Philadelphia ratings, winning virtually every time slot. Its dominance has only been seriously challenged twice--in the 1980s, when WCAU briefly took the lead at 5 pm; and in 2001, when WCAU took first place at 11 pm for the first time in decades. WPVI is one of many ABC O&O's to not use the Eyewitness News branding. The Eyewitness News branding would not be able to be used by WPVI, as KYW uses it in the Philadelphia market. However, it is not likely that ABC would have even considered dropping the Action News branding in any case. Image File history File linksMetadata Action_News_WPVI_2006. ...

The station has used the same theme since 1972, "Move Closer to Your World" by Al Ham. The composition has become as much a part of the Philadelphia consciousness as the Rocky theme and has helped WPVI stay number one in the Delaware Valley for 30 years. The station tried to switch to a fuller, thunderous and authoritative version of the song by the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1997, but switched back to the old version after five days of viewer complaints.

Years of being in the lead have led WPVI to keep things old-fashioned, with an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. For instance, it has had the same "6" logo since the 1970s; the only significant change coming in 1997 when it began calling itself "6ABC" and began placing the ABC "dot" logo inside the "6." It has frequently remastered "Move Closer to Your World" to make it sound less dated.

In recent years, attempts have been made to modernize the newscasts. The magnetboard used for weather forecasts gave way to a video screen in 2000 and a chromakey wall in 2005. On February 13, 2006, Action News debuted a revamped and fully modernized set which includes a glass etching background of several historical landmarks in Philadelphia positioned behind the anchor desk, shiftable lighting effects and a computerized Accu-Weather center[1]. WPVI introduced a new HD-capable helicopter in February 2006. Live shots from the helicopter, officially named Chopper6 HD, were shown in high definition. Furthermore, on July 23, 2006, starting with the 6:00 PM broadcast, Action News began broadcasting from their studio in full 720p HDTV. The official announcement was made on July 24. Field reports are still upconverted for the digital broadcast, although the station has promised to upgrade its remote cameras soon. Image File history File links Easton_Flooding_WPVI_2006. ...

Most of WPVI's personalities have been at the station for 10 years; several for 20 years or more. Jim Gardner has been with the station since 1976 and has been main anchor since 1979, the longest tenure as a main anchor in Philadelphia history. Dave Roberts (joined in 1978) has been the main weatherman since 1983 (after the accidental death of popular weatherman Jim O'Brien), and Rob Jennings has been weekend anchor since 1981.

WPVI cooperates with sister station WABC-TV in the production and broadcast of statewide New Jersey political debates. When the two stations broadcast a statewide office debate, such as Governor or U. S. Senate, they will pool resources and have anchors or reporters from both stations participate in the debate. Additionally, the two stations cooperate in the gathering of news in New Jersey where their markets overlap; sharing reporters, live trucks and helicopters.
