History

WTVJ went on the air at Noon on March 21, 1949. It was Florida's first television station and the 16th in the country. Originally broadcasting on channel 4, WTVJ was owned by Wometco Enterprises, a national movie theater chain headquartered in Miami. The original studios were located in the former Capitol Theater in Downtown Miami, which was Wometco's first theater when the company was founded in 1926. The station carried programming from all four major networks but was a primary CBS affiliate.

WTVJ was the only commercial station in Miami until December 24, 1954, when WFTL-TV signed on from Fort Lauderdale as an NBC affiliate. However, WFTL had no success whatsoever against WTVJ, in part because television sets were not required to have UHF tuning. NBC continued to allow WTVJ to cherry-pick NBC programming until WCKT (now WSVN) signed on in 1956 and WFTL went dark. (By this time, WFTL had been purchased by Storer Broadcasting and changed its call letters to WGBS-TV. Storer owned the station as an independent until it went dark sometime in 1956.) It continued to share ABC with WCKT until 1957 when WPST (now WPLG) signed on. It also doubled as the CBS affiliate for West Palm Beach until WTVX (now a CW affiliate) signed on in 1966.

Soon after WTVJ signed on, it hired Ralph Renick, who had just graduated from the University of Miami, as its first anchorman and News Director. Renick would be the face of WTVJ for nearly 36 years best known for his catchphrase at the end of every newscast, "Good night, and may the good news be yours". At the same time, the station also hired Bernie Rosen and Bob Weaver. One of the nation's first ever television news meteorologists, Weaver reported weather for the station for more than 5 decades. Rosen, who went on to run the station's award winning sports department for more than three decades, is the only remaining original employee still working at the station. He is now in his 58th consecutive year at WTVJ.

Wometco founder and president Mitchell Wolfson died in 1983 and a long-rumored secret plan to run the company after his death was never found. Remaining Wolfson heirs had no desire to keep the company in the family, and it quickly unraveled, making it a ripe takeover target. Investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. took over Wometco in 1984 in a deal worth one billion dollars, the largest coporate buyout ever to that date. In 1985, the FCC raised the television station ownership limit from seven VHF stations and any number of UHF stations to twelve stations regardless of frequency. KKR sold most of Wometco's entertainment assets to Wometco chief operating officer Arthur Hertz in 1985. With the cash from this sale, KKR bought Storer Broadcasting. It bought the stations because values were rising rapidly and the goal was to sell the stations in a few years.

Speculation involves the buying, holding, and selling of stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, collectibles, real estate, derivatives or any valuable financial instrument to profit from fluctuations in its price as opposed to buying it for use or for income via methods such as dividends or interest. ...


In 1986, KKR opted to sell WTVJ and the Storer stations to separate owners. It had plans to sell WTVJ for a record price of close to half a billion dollars, although the station was actually worth far less. CBS saw a chance to get an owned and operated television station in the fast-growing Miami market. However, it lost a bidding war to television syndication firm Telepictures (now part of Warner Bros. Television). CBS then suggested that it intended to purchase WCIX (now WFOR-TV), South Florida's FOX affiliate owned by Taft Broadcasting of Cincinnati. Such a deal would have made WTVJ the area's FOX affiliate. Although CBS only made a half-hearted bid for WCIX, Telepictures realized that the value of its purchase would be significantly depreciated with the loss of CBS. Also, while it was a major force in television syndication in its own right, Telepictures did not anticipate having to buy an additional 15 hours per day of programming (FOX had just debuted and would not air a full week's worth of programming for seven years). It walked away from the deal later in 1986, and sold off its only other television station, WPGH-TV in Pittsburgh, to Renaissance Broadcasting.

Over the next few months, the only offers for WTVJ came from companies that owned large amounts of independent stations, such as Tribune Broadcasting, Pappas Telecasting Companies, and Chris-Craft Industries / United Television. These and other companies wanted to make WTVJ an independent station, or a FOX affiliate, for a price far lower than KKR's asking price. The only way that KKR could make such a large profit was to sell WTVJ to another network, as the only potential buyers who had no interest in keeping CBS while paying the asking price were ABC and NBC. A major network had never bought a station affiliated with another network. An independent station is a television station that is not affiliated with any network. ...

CBS did not believe that KKR would not sell WTVJ to another network, so it returned with a very low offer. KKR turned the CBS offer down almost out of hand and then approached the other networks. ABC was not interested, since it was more than satisfied with its longtime affiliate, WPLG. However, NBC was very interested because its longtime affiliate, WSVN, pre-empted whatever shows NBC aired weekdays from 10 AM to Noon, as well as an occasional primetime show. NBC was far less tolerant of pre-emptions than CBS and ABC, and was particularly annoyed at losing valuable advertising in such a fast-growing market. NBC realized that buying its own station with less restrictive ownership laws would guarantee that all of its shows would air. Hence, it made an offer almost as high as Telepictures did a few months before, and in 1987, KKR agreed to sell WTVJ to NBC, giving Florida its first owned and operated television station. 1987 (MCMLXXXVII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ... In the broadcasting industry (especially in North America), an owned-and-operated station (frequently abbreviated as O&O) usually refers to a television station or radio station that is owned by the network with which it is associated. ...


NBC assumed control of WTVJ in mid-September of 1987. However, both WTVJ's and WSVN's existing affiliation contracts lasted until December 31, 1988. As a result, NBC faced the prospect of having to run CBS programming on its new purchase for over a year. This did not sit well with NBC and CBS, and both approached WSVN's owner, Ed Ansin, about ending his station's NBC affiliation early. However, Ansin refused because he wanted to air NBC's strong lineup that year, which included the Summer Olympics, the MLB World Series, along with the many hit shows airing on NBC at that time. He also wanted to take the CBS affiliation at the beginning of 1989. NBC did begin to pre-empt some low rated CBS shows on WTVJ. Those pre-empted CBS shows aired on WCIX.

CBS then formally approached WCIX, despite the fact that it would have provided a much weaker signal to Fort Lauderdale than that provided by WTVJ or WSVN. WCIX's transmitter was located near Homestead, 20 miles southwest of Downtown Miami. This gave Fort Lauderdale only a Grade B signal which was weaker than all of the other television stations in the market. Accordingly, CBS persuaded longtime ABC affiliate WPEC in West Palm Beach to change its affiliation to CBS, so that it could continue to get a city-grade signal in Broward County. In the spring of 1988, CBS announced that it was purchasing WCIX from the TVX Broadcast Group, who had purchased the station in 1987 as Taft was restructuring to become Great American Broadcasting.

In 1994, Westinghouse and its broadcasting division Group W, signed a long-term deal with CBS in which the three Group W stations not already affiliated with CBS would become CBS affiliates while two other stations had already been CBS affiliates. One of the stations was Philadelphia's longtime NBC affiliate KYW-TV. CBS decided to sell off its longtime owned and operated television station in that same market, WCAU. This led to a deal in 1995 between CBS and NBC, where CBS sold the channel 6 broadcasting facility to NBC as compensation for the loss of KYW and Westinghouse's other NBC affiliate, WBZ-TV in Boston. In return, CBS received the stronger channel 4 broadcasting facility and cash as compensation for the loss of WCAU.
