History
The station began broadcasting on December 22, 1952, as WSBA-TV. It was owned by Susquehanna Radio Corporation along with WSBA radio (AM 910). It is one of the first commercially-licensed UHF stations in the United States, just over three months after KPTV, channel 27 (now 12) in Portland, Oregon, first went on the air.WSBA-TV was originally an ABC affiliate. In 1961, WSBA-TV switched to CBS and joined the Keystone Network, comprising of WHP-TV in Harrisburg, WLYH-TV in Lebanon, and WSBA-TV. The three stations provided a strong combined signal with about 55% overlap.
In 1983, Susquehanna sold WSBA-TV to Idaho-based Mohawk Broadcasting, who changed its calls to WPMT and dropped the CBS affiliation in favor of becoming an independent station.[1]
In October 1986, after Mohawk sold the station to Renaissance Broadcasting, it became one of the charter affiliates of the newly-launched Fox Broadcasting Company.
In 1997, Renaissance merged with Tribune Broadcasting, WPMT's present owners.
From the late 1990s to 2006, WPMT carried a secondary affiliation with The WB, which was part-owned by Tribune. However, cable systems in Lancaster County continued to import sister station WPHL-TV in Philadelphia as their WB affiliate until September 4 2006, when WPHL dropped The WB in favor of Fox's new MyNetworkTV.
Trivia
- In the mid-1990s, WPMT featured original children's programming hosted by the station's mascot, a clown named Pete McTee.
