History

The station traces its history to May 19, 1945, when television set and equipment manufacturer Allen B. DuMont founded W3XWT, the second experimental station in the nation's capital (after NBC's W3XNB, forerunner to WRC-TV). May 19 is the 139th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (140th in leap years). ... Year 1945 (MCMXLV) was a common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1945 calendar). ... Dr. Allen Balcom DuMont (January 29, 1901 - November 14, 1965) was an American scientist and inventor best known for improvements to the cathode ray tube in 1931 for use in television receivers. ... It has been suggested that NBC Radio City Studios, NBC Studios be merged into this article or section. ... WRC-TV NBC4 is an NBC owned and operated television station in Washington, DC. Owned by NBC Universal, the station broadcasts its analog signal on channel 4 and its digital television signal on channel 48. ...


Later in 1945, DuMont Laboratories began a series of experimental coaxial cable hookups between W3XWT and its other television station, WABD in New York City (now WNYW). These hookups were the beginning of the DuMont Television Network, the world's first licensed commercial television network. DuMont began regular network service in 1946. Almost a year later, on January 3, 1947, W3XWT received a commercial license--the first in the nation's capital--as WTTG. The station was named for Thomas T. (Toliver) Goldsmith, Dr. DuMont's best friend and the DuMont network's chief engineer. Coaxial cable is an electrical cable consisting of a round conducting wire, surrounded by an insulating spacer, surrounded by a cylindrical conducting sheath, usually surrounded by a final insulating layer. ...

January 3 is the 3rd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 1947 (MCMXLVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1947 calendar). ...


Like its New York sister station, WTTG was far more successful than the network as a whole. In 1956, after DuMont ended network operations, WTTG and WABD were spun off as the "DuMont Broadcasting Corporation." It later changed its name to Metropolitan Broadcasting due to the failure associated with DuMont. In 1958, Washington investor John Kluge bought controlling interest in Metropolitan Broadcasting and installed himself as its chairman. He changed the company's name to Metromedia in 1961. Goldsmith sat on Metromedia's board for over a quarter-century. Year 1956 (MCMLVI) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1958 (MCMLVIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... John Werner Kluge (born September 21, 1914) is an entrepreneur who was born in Chemnitz, Germany, best known as a television industry mogul in the United States. ...

At first, WTTG ran on a low budget. However, in the late 1960s, it benefited from Metromedia's aggressiveness in acquiring top syndicated programming, giving it a significant leg up on WDCA, which signed on in 1966. By the 1970s, WTTG was one of the leading independent stations in the country, running a broad lineup of cartoons, off-network sitcoms, first-run syndicated shows, old movies, local news and locally produced programs. During this time period, and well into the early 1990s, WTTG was the flagship station for the Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team. Its main claim to fame was Panorama, an afternoon talk show hosted by John Willis, and Maury Povich. 1966 (MCMLXVI) was a common year starting on Saturday (the link is to a full 1966 calendar). ...

When cable television began in the 1970s, WTTG became a regional superstation. At one point, it appeared on every cable system in Maryland and Virginia, as well as most of Delaware and in parts of North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Though not distributed as widely as it once was the popularity of WTTG has kept it available on cable on several Maryland and Virginia cable systems and until recently served as the default Fox affiliate for the Harrisonburg and Salisbury, Maryland TV markets (the Salisbury market saw the debut of a new default Fox affiliate, FOX21 Delmarva, a subsidiary of WBOC-TV 16, on 21 August 2006).

Metromedia owned the station until 1986 when Rupert Murdoch, after buying 20th Century Fox, purchased the Metromedia television stations to form the nucleus of the Fox network. WTTG has since become a Fox owned-and-operated station (O&O), but has retained consistently high ratings, a rarity for a Fox affiliate. Initially, its programming was similar to what it had run as a true independent station, since Fox only programmed for a few hours on weekends. Then, in the summer of 1990, the morning cartoon block was ended in favor of Fox 5 Morning News. It was the second Fox O&O to have a morning newscast and the fourth or fifth Fox affiliate with morning news. 1986 (MCMLXXXVI) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In the 1990s, Fox 5 added more syndicated talk shows and reality shows. It continued to air afternoon cartoons from Fox Kids until the fall of 2001, when they moved to WDCA (only to be cut to Saturdays everywhere in 2002). But WTTG later on brought back Fox children's programming under the banner 4Kids TV. On October 29, 2001, WDCA became WTTG's sister station when Fox bought it from Viacom. Fox 5 continued to run top rated off-network sitcoms in the evenings. In 2002, it added an evening 5 to 6 p.m. newscast. Today, Fox 5 has over 40 hours a week of local news.

On May 15, 2006 WTTG launched a test of a new website, which features more news and video with the "MyFox" name and interface. (The "My" in the MyFox name may be a reference to Fox's new network My Network TV, which will be shown locally on WDCA.) It is at www.myfoxdc.com. Sister stations WNYW in New York and WBRC in Birmingham already have new "MyFox" test websites, and WNYW has already put in place the new Fox News Channel-inspired logo shown at myfoxny.com; this spread and logo will come to other FOX O&O Stations in the months to come.

The new logo and set premiered on June 25, 2006. WTTG launched "NewsEdge" (previously titled "The Edge" until October 2006), its 11-11:30pm newscast, on July 31, 2006. "NewsEdge", which is anchored solo by 10pm co-anchor Brian Bolter, follows its 10-11pm newscast. Also with the launch of the 11pm broadcast, Fox 5 has now expanded it's 5pm broadcast to 7 days a week. The 5pm on the weekend is only a half-hour long as opposed to the weekday hour-long broadcast. Plus the new "NewsEdge" has also gone to 7 days as well. The weekend 11pm broadcast is 15-minutes long followed by "Sports Extra."

On September 4, 2006, WTTG began simulcasting its weekday morning and daily 10 PM newscasts on Baltimore's FOX-owned WUTB, under the banner of My 24 News. The higher-ups at both stations cite the decision to simulcast as a by-product of cross-regional news interests and increasing overlap between the Baltimore and Washington media markets.

Criticism

The inner operations of WTTG were sructinized in the 2004 Robert Greenwald documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism. Former WTTG employees claimed that media magnate Rupert Murdoch used the station as an experiment to test the allegedly right-wing slanted formula that would be the trademark of his FOX News Channel. Former producers and reporters reminisced about how Murdoch ordered them to air, among other things, a piece from A Current Affair "rehashing the whole affair of [Senator Ted Kennedy's deadly car accident at] Chappaquiddick" which had "zero news value"; an uncut tribute to Ronald Reagan as seen at the 1988 Republican National Convention; and hot-button issues such as race relations and AIDS (a former WTTG producer said that "I constantly remember complaints that there was too much being done on AIDS.") 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

By the 1970s, WTTG was one of the leading independent stations in the country, running a broad lineup of cartoons, off-network sitcoms, first-run syndicated shows, old movies, local news and locally produced programs.
Cable companies distributed WTTG as far south as North Carolina, as far east as Delaware and throughout Maryland and Virginia.
Though not distributed as widely as it once was the popularity of WTTG has kept it available on cable on several Maryland and Virginia cable systems and to this day serves as the default Fox affiliate for the Harrisonburg, Virginia (where a low-power translator is present) and Salisbury, Maryland TV markets.
