W'M Studios located at 3 Mile Road NW in Walker (with a Grand Rapids postal address), and its transmitter is located in Grant, Michigan. The transmitter station is located about 40 miles (64 km) north of other stations at Grand Rapids Market, and its over-the-air signal is unavailable in two other major market cities as a result. Since April 2009, however, W'M has been available at most cable providers in southwest Michigan, although Battle Creek-based WOTV (Channel 41, owned by Nexstar Media Group) acts as an ABC affiliate for this part of the Grand Rapids market. Until then, viewers out of reach of the WMD signal (which remains true in Coldwater and Sturgis as of January 2020) relied on out-of-market stations from South Bend, Indiana or Lansing to view syndicated programs conducted by WMD. The Story Local Group known as Western Michigan Tv Cameras received building permits to operate a television station on VHF Channel 9 in 1961. However, later in the year the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revised the channel's position in the area, causing the VHF Channel 13 distribution to move from Cadillac to Grand Rapids. WWTV's Cadillac, then on Channel 13, was due to move to Channel 9 as a result of the action. The station left the airwaves just 20 minutes after the transmitter pipe broke down; he returned to the air 10 minutes later. The festive opening of the show is anchored by news director Jack Hogan. WSM, of course, had a humble beginning; its first broadcasts were from the banquet hall turned studio into the Pantlind Hotel (now the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel). Live broadcasts included This Morning with Bud Lindeman, Shirley's show and evening news program, although the station's most notable show is The Bozo Show, which has been broadcast on the station for more than 30 years. Bill Merchant was the original Bozo, with Dick Richards as Ringmaster; Shortly thereafter, Richards took on the role of Bozo. As a result of the exchange with WWTV, WMD is currently short space on WSPD-TV (now WTVG) in Toledo, Ohio. He had to build his transmitter about 40 miles further north than other stations in Western Michigan and redirect his signal to protect WSPD-TV from interference. As a result, the VLM signal barely reached Kalamazoo and just missed the Battle Creek. Viewers of southwestern Michigan had to rely on WSJV in Elkhart, Indiana, WXY-TV in Detroit, or WLS-TV in Chicago for ABC programming until wuH-TV (channel 41, now WOTV) signed with Battle Creek in 1971. Sometime in late 1964, W'M-TV signed up for a satellite station in Kalamazoo operating on the VHF 12 channel. In August 1971, the company opened a multimillion-dollar studio in Walker, chairman Ceremony. In the years that followed, VSM became a formidable force in the Grand Rapids market, collecting high ratings and reputation as having one of the best newscasts in the Western Michigan area. The company's long-standing logo was used for most of 1997 until September 2008. In recent years, this logo has been redesigned to show a glossy finish to match the new ABC 'glass ball' logo. The company's logo from September 2008 to March 2018. In 1978, West Michigan Telecasters sold W-M to Miami-based Wometco Enterprises. At the time it was sold W-M (95.7 FM), becoming w-R. The Wometco stations were sold to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) in 1985; KKR subsequently sold Price Communications in 1986. A local investor, Richard Appleton, founded Northstar Television in 1989 and acquired W.M. In 1991, Appleton attempted to acquire WUH' and turn it into a VMPM satellite, which would have created a strong combined signal with approximately 40% overlap. However, the proposed deal failed at the last minute. Ironically, for most of its history, the VUH has served as a de facto companion to the WMD; Its engineers had to switch to and from the WMD signal in most cases before the station was able to purchase a network channel from THE ABC. In 1992, Northstar(WMD, along with WNAC-TV in Providence, Rhode Island and WAPT in Jackson, Mississippi) was sold to Argyle Television Holdings II. In January 1997, Gannett bought W'M and sister WGR station in Buffalo, New York, in a trade agreement with ARGylerg with WT This deal was made to address cross-ownership issues that stemmed from Gannett's ownership during the cable provider Multimedia Cablevision (which he purchased with his purchase of Multimedia, Inc. in 1995) in the Oklahoma City market (as well as cross- ownership issues with the Cincinnati Enquirer and Niagara Gazette newspapers), as the FCC at the time banned the television station and the cable newspaper from ownership. In the 1990s, the WMD made a number of changes with the new millennium looming. The station acquired new news devices, a new tape format (Beta SP) was introduced to digitize all media, a new radar receiver and new weather cameras were added throughout the state; he also built a new set that coincided with the introduction of the new logo. In early spring 2006, VSM completed an overhaul of the station, complete with a new logo, graphics and advertising campaign. In late September 2006, WSM announced on air through a series of commercials that the morning newscast (with Derek Francis, Lauren Stanton and Holly Vogel) had moved to the top spot in the audience, according to the (quote needed) September 14, 2006, WMD broadcast its first local program in high definition, a special Great Lakes Lee Van Ameyde and Juliet Dragos hosted a special about Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island, Makinac Bridge, as well as Michigan Wine Country, and charter boats. In 2007, WMD launched three websites developed in conjunction with the Michigan newspaper Gannett: MichiganMoms.com (now MomsLikeMe.com), MichiganSmartShopper.com and MyMitten.com. Around the first week of October 2012, Gannett entered into a dispute against Dish Network over the compensation fees and commercial pass feature of Dish's AutoHop on its Hopper digital video recorders. Gannett ordered Dish to stop AutoHop's account that it affected advertising revenue for VM, thus causing serious problems in the Western Michigan area. Gannett has threatened to suspend contact with the satellite provider if the skirmish continues after October 7, and Disht and Gannett will not be able to reach an agreement. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, extending the deadline by several hours. On June 29, 2015, Gannett split into two parts, with one side specializing in print media and the other in broadcast and digital media. VSM was retained by the last company named Tegna.

INSTITUTION Federal Communications Commission, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE 10 Aug 73 NOTE 173p. JOURNAL CIT Federal Communications Conmission Reports; v42 (2d Series)N1 August 10,1973 EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Broadcast Industry; Certification; Citizen Partic4.pation; Commercial Television; *Equal Opportunities (Jobs); Evaluation; National Surveys; *Networks; Performance; Performance Criteria; *Programing (Broadcast); Television; *Television Surveys IDENTT_FIERS FCC; *Federal Communications Commission; Johnson (Nicholas); United States of America ABSTRACT This report represents the final attempt by outgoing Commissioner Nicholas Johnson to draw attention to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) automatic renewal of licensees guilty of substandard performance. The report analyzes the performance of network affiliates in the top 50 television markets with respect to programing, female and minority employment, and ownership. It seeks to demonstrate the kind of analysis which can be made, to develop minimum standards, and to design an alternative to government regulation by using public disclosure of :;nformation to spur the industry to improve its performance and to motivate the public to challenge substandard licensees. The analyses of performance are based upon public data supplied by licensees to the FCC; in three separate chapters criteria on programing, employment, and ownership are developed from inspections of the data and the stations are rank-ordered according to their performance.it fourth chapter discusses what citizens can do to improve television in their community. Six appendixes and 17 tables provide detailed data on approximately 150 stations.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
