The Westinghouse Broadcasting Company, also known as Group W, was a division of Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The company adopted the Group W moniker in 1963, and it handled Westinghouse's television and radio operations, owning several stations across the United States and distributing television shows for syndication.

History

The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Corporation entered into broadcasting with the November 2, 1920 sign-on of KDKA radio in Pittsburgh. KDKA, which bills itself as the world's first commercially-licensed radio station, was an outgrowth of experimental station 8XK, a 75-watt station that was located in the Pittsburgh suburb of Wilkinsburg, and founded in 1916 by Westinghouse assistant chief engineer Frank Conrad.

Westinghouse launched three more radio stations in 1921: WJZ, originally licensed to Newark, New Jersey, in September; WBZ, first located in Springfield, Massachusetts, in October; and KYW, originally based in Chicago, in November.

Westinghouse was one of the founding owners of the Radio Corporation of America in 1919, and in 1926 RCA established the National Broadcasting Company, a group of 24 radio stations that made up the first radio network in the United States. Westinghouse initially owned a 20 percent stake in NBC, and as a result all of Westinghouse's stations became affiliates of NBC's Blue Network when it was launched on January 1, 1927. Most of the Blue Network's programming originated at WJZ, which in 1923 had its licensed moved to New York City, and its ownership transferred to RCA. RCA, formerly an initialism for the Radio Corporation of America, is now a trademark used by two companies for products descended from that common ancestor: Thomson Consumer Electronics, which manufactures RCA-branded televisions, DVD players, video cassette recorders, direct broadcast satellite decoders, camcorders, audio equipment, telephones, and related accessories; and... 1919 (MCMXIX) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ... 1926 (MCMXXVI) was a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar). ...

In 1931, Westinghouse switched the call letters of its two Massachusetts stations, with WBZA moving to Springfield and WBZ going to Boston. The two stations had suffered from interference problems, though the Boston facility was the more powerful of the two. In 1934, KYW was moved from Chicago to Philadelphia following a Federal Communications Commission-dictated frequency realignment. Westinghouse's next station was its first purchase: WOWO in Fort Wayne, Indiana joined the group in August 1936. The Westinghouse group survived the split of NBC's radio division in 1943. WBZ/WBZA, KDKA, and KYW became affiliates of NBC-Red after the split, while WOWO, which had a secondary affiliation with NBC-Blue, fell back on its primary relationship with CBS. The 1941 North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement saw all of Westinghouse's stations move to their current dial positions, and all except WBZA were granted clear channel allocations. Despite the assignments which resulted from NARBA, WBZA became a daytime-only operation as it continued to share frequencies with WBZ. 1931 (MCMXXXI) was a common year starting on Thursday (link is to a full 1931 calendar). ... 1934 (MCMXXXIV) was a common year starting on Monday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Later in the 1940s, Westinghouse moved on to develop FM and television stations as the FCC began to issue permits for those services. Westinghouse built FM sister stations for WBZ/WBZA, KDKA, KYW, and WOWO, all of which were on the air by the end of the decade. FM radio was, initially, an unsuccessful venture for Westinghouse, and the company would sell all of their FM stations (with the exception of WBZ-FM, which was sold in 1981) by the end of the 1950s. // Events and trends World War II was a truly global conflict with many facets: immense human suffering, fierce indoctrination, and the use of new, extremely devastating weapons such as the atomic bomb. ...

WBZ-TV in Boston, which signed-on in June 1948, is the only television station to have been built by the company. The remainder of Westinghouse's expansion into television was made through purchases, starting with WPTZ-TV in Philadelphia, in 1952. KPIX in San Francisco was bought in 1954; WDTV (now KDKA-TV) in Pittsburgh was added in 1955; and WAAM-TV (now WJZ-TV) in Baltimore was purchased in 1957.

Moving back to AM radio, Westinghouse returned to Chicago with its 1956 purchase of WIND. In 1962, Westinghouse re-entered the New York market when it bought WINS, then a local Top-40 powerhouse. That same year, the company also agreed to buy another top-rated music station, KFWB in Los Angeles. However, the FCC ordered Westinghouse to sell one of its existing AM stations, as they reached the then-limit of seven AM stations per owner. Westinghouse decided to shut down WBZA and return its license to the FCC in June 1962, though the KFWB deal was not finalized until 1966. 1956 (MCMLVI) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

On April 19, 1965, WINS dropped music and instituted the world's first 24-hour all-news format. KYW went all-news six months later, on September 12, three months after Westinghouse returned the station to Philadelphia (see The 1956 Trade with NBC, below). KFWB would adopt the format on March 11, 1968. All three stations went on to success in their markets. During the 1970s and 1980s, WIND also tinkered with a part-time news format, though it had little success against the dominant all-news station in Chicago, CBS-owned WBBM.

Over the next quarter-century, Westinghouse would purchase several other radio stations, including KFBK in Sacramento, California; WMAQ in Chicago, WNEW-FM in New York, and WMMR-FM in Philadelphia. WOWO was sold to other interests in 1982, and WIND was spun-off in 1988 after Group W bought WMAQ from NBC. During this time, Group W's only other television station purchase was in Charlotte, North Carolina, where it operated WPCQ-TV (previously WRET-TV and now WCNC-TV) from 1980 until 1984.

The 1956 trade with NBC

During 1955, Westinghouse announced that it would sell KYW radio and WPTZ-TV to NBC. In exchange, Westinghouse received NBC's Cleveland stations, WTAM-AM-FM and WNBK television. After the deal was approved in February 1956, Westinghouse moved the KYW call letters to Cleveland, while NBC renamed the Philadelphia stations WRCV-AM-TV. However, the ink had barely dried on the deal when Westinghouse complained to the FCC and the U.S. Justice Department, claiming that NBC had extorted it into agreeing to the deal. It turned out that NBC had threatened to pull its television programming from WPTZ-TV and WBZ-TV unless Westinghouse agreed to the swap. Following a thorough investigation which lasted several years, the FCC and the Justice Department ordered the swap reversed without NBC realizing any profit on the deal. Westinghouse regained control of the Philadelphia stations on June 19, 1965; Westinghouse restored the KYW calls to the radio station and renamed the television station KYW-TV.

Merger with CBS

Throughout its history as an operator of television stations, Westinghouse Broadcasting had relationships with all three major networks. KYW-TV, WPCQ, and WBZ-TV were NBC affiliates, KPIX and KDKA-TV were aligned with CBS, and WJZ-TV was an ABC station. All of Group W's stations were located within the top thirty television markets. A media market, broadcast market, or simply market is a region where the population can receive the same (or similar) television and radio station offerings, and may also include other types of media including newspapers or Internet content. ...

Westinghouse's television stations were all known for their very deep connection to their home markets. They often pre-empted network programming in favor of local shows. However, for the most part the networks did not seem to mind. They all were strong performers in their respective markets, usually ranking first or second in the ratings. The only exceptions were KYW-TV, which was NBC's weakest major-market affiliate for most of the 1980s; and WPCQ, a weak-signal UHF station which during Group W ownership remained an also-ran in the Charlotte market, as it competed against two other network affiliates on VHF and also had to deal with three NBC affiliates on VHF stations in nearby cities that were also available in large parts of the market. However, a series of surprising events that occurred in the course of a year ended Westinghouse's uniqueness among station operators.

In 1994, the Fox Broadcasting Company agreed to a multi-year, multi-station affiliation deal with New World Communications, resulting most of New World's stations switching to Fox. Among these stations were longtime CBS affiliates WJBK-TV in Detroit and WJW-TV in Cleveland. To replace these outlets, CBS pursued longtime ABC affiliates WEWS in Cleveland and WXYZ-TV in Detroit. Both stations were owned by the E.W. Scripps Company, who used this leverage to strike an similar affiliation deal of its own with ABC. Unwilling to risk losing two of its strongest and longest-standing affiliates, ABC agreed to the deal, which called for four of Scripps' stations to join ABC. One of them was Baltimore's then-NBC affiliate, WMAR-TV, which would displace that city's longtime ABC affiliate, Group W-owned WJZ-TV. 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. // Events January Bill Clinton January 1 : North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) goes into effect. ...

Westinghouse was upset at how ABC had treated WJZ-TV after many years of loyalty, and sought an affiliation deal of its own. Eventually, it agreed to affiliate its entire television unit with CBS. Under the terms of the deal, all five Group W stations would carry the entire CBS schedule with no pre-emptions except for local news emergencies. This deal resulted in a three-way deal involving CBS, NBC and Westinghouse that unfolded during 1995: 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

• On January 2, WJZ-TV and WBZ-TV switched from ABC and NBC, respectively, to CBS.
• On September 10, KYW-TV switched from NBC to CBS. Westinghouse then formed a partnership with CBS that assumed ownership of KYW-TV, with Westinghouse retaining a majority interest. CBS sold its previous Philadelphia station, WCAU-TV, to NBC.
• Also on September 10, KCNC-TV in Denver and KUTV in Salt Lake City, two former NBC-owned stations, were sold to the Group W/CBS partnership. Both stations became CBS affiliates.
• On September 12, CBS-owned WCIX in Miami swapped channel locations with NBC-owned WTVJ. CBS and NBC traded their Miami broadcasting facilities to compensate each other for the loss of stations. WCIX changed its call letters to WFOR-TV, and CBS sold controlling interest in the station to Westinghouse.

A short time later, Westinghouse and CBS agreed to merge. The merger closed in early 1996, and the Group W name faded into broadcasting history as the Westinghouse Broadcasting operations took on the CBS name and identity. As a condition of the merger, CBS had to sell recently-acquired WPRI-TV in Providence, Rhode Island due to a significant signal overlap with WBZ-TV.
