History

WVUE began on September 1, 1953 as WJMR-TV, the second television station in New Orleans (behind WDSU) and the third in Louisiana (behind WDSU and WAFB in Baton Rouge). Originally broadcasting on channel 61, it then moved to channel 20 in 1958. It was originally a CBS affiliate with a secondary ABC affiliation. When WWL-TV signed on in 1957, it took over the CBS affiliation because of WWL radio's longtime affiliation with CBS radio. WJMR was left with ABC.

The station moved to channel 13 in 1959 and returned to channel 12 in 1964 due to interference with WLOX in Biloxi, also on channel 13. Screen Gems bought the station in 1965 and changed the call letters to WVUE. In 1970, it swapped dial positions with the city's PBS station, WYES and moved to its current location on channel 8. 1959 (MCMLIX) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1964 (MCMLXIV) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1964 calendar). ...

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the station would consistently rank as a distant third place in the ratings behind WWL and WDSU, even as ABC topped the national ratings for a time in the mid-70s. Gaylord Broadcasting bought WVUE in 1977, but was unable to improve the station's place in the ratings. The station was sold to Burnham Broadcasting in 1987.

In late 1994, after Fox won television rights to the National Football Conference of the National Football League, it arranged to have Savvoy purchase WVUE and Burnham's three other stations--WALA-TV in Mobile, Alabama; WLUK-TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin and KHON-TV in Honolulu, Hawaii. Fox would own a minority voting stock in these stations and the company would be called "Savvoy Fox" or SF. (However, in 1995, Fox opted not to have voting stock in the company, although it would still hold an interest.) 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated as the International Year of the Family and the International Year of the Sport and the Olympic Ideal by United Nations. ...

The transaction went ahead in the summer of 1995. The affiliation switch in New Orleans took place on January 1, 1996, with WVUE becoming the Fox affiliate. (WNOL, which had been the market's Fox affiliate, took the WB affiliation; the ABC affiliation went to WGNO.)

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina struck Greater New Orleans at the end of August 2005. WVUE's operations were temporarily moved to WALA's studios in Mobile, Alabama. WVUE's studio on Jefferson Davis Parkway is located in a lowlying part of the city that was badly flooded in the Katrina levee failures. It was so badly damaged that Emmis has told some of the on-air staff that they are free to seek new work elsewhere without penalty.

Soon, WVUE's morning meteorologist Crystal Wicker went to Indianapolis' WRTV, where she began work October 3.[1] Weekend Meteorologist Jeff Baskin went to Portland, Oregon's KOIN. Reporter Summer Jackson went to Chicago to work at CLTV. Kerry Cavanaugh took a job as a reporter at WBAL-TV [2] in Baltimore, MD.

Following the storm, WVUE presented a rotating 15-minute newscast streaming on its website coming from WALA's facilities. It has since restored its full-length newscasts.

In mid-June 2006, construction of the station's permanent news set and weather center were completed. Before then, a temporary news set and newsroom were set up in the station's production room. Station manager Vanessa Oubre said remodeling/reconstruction of the rest of the building should be completed by November 2006.

The hurricane may also have had an effect on Emmis' pending sale of WVUE. Katrina hit while Emmis was in the midst of exiting television, and the uncertain status of the market post-Katrina has delayed the finding of a new buyer. With the New Orleans TV market not taking as much of a loss as once thought, a buyer may be found sometime in 2007.
