WHP-TV ("CBS 21" or ''21 CBS') is the CBS television affiliate in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It also serves other communities in the Susquehanna Valley of south central Pennsylvania including York, Lebanon, and Lancaster as well as parts of northern Maryland. WHP airs programming from MyNetworkTV on its DT2 sub-channel My TV twentyone.2. The station broadcasts its analog signal on UHF channel 21 and its digital signal on VHF channel 4. Interestingly, rival WGAL started on analog channel 4 but moved due to interference from fellow NBC station WRC-TV. Its transmitter is located near Harrisburg.
The station is currently owned by Clear Channel Communications, and is sister station to CW affiliate WLYH-TV channel 15 and WHP-AM 580.
History
The station launched on July 4, 1953 on channel 55 as a dual affiliate of the CBS and DuMont networks. It was originally owned by Commonwealth Communications Services. The station kept the CBS affiliation after DuMont's demise in 1956, and later began to share CBS programming with WLYH-TV channel 15 (now WHP's sister station) and WSBA-TV channel 43 (now WPMT) as part of the Keystone Network. The station moved from channel 55 to channel 21 in 1957.In 1995, WHP began controlling secondary CBS affiliate WLYH in Lancaster via a local marketing agreement, after a signal upgrade switching its affiliation to UPN. Clear Channel Communications acquired the station in 1998 when that company bought out longtime owner Dame Media.
On July 12, 2006, WHP announced that it would launch a second digital channel that would become an affiliate of MyNetworkTV when that network launched in September 2006.
On April 20, 2007, Clear Channel entered into an agreement to sell its entire television stations group to Providence Equity Partners's Newport Television.[1] Once the sale is finalized, WHP's LMA with WLYH will likely be terminated several years early (unless Providence Equity enters into some type of agreement with the Nexstar Broadcasting Group, the owner of WLYH) because Nexstar has made it clear that it will own and operate WLYH outright.
The popular game show duo of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune have aired on WHP since their debuts in syndication, in 1984 and 1983, respectively.
