@@stevensuarez4843 Yeah. They've tried various co-ops with others, but nothing sticks. Among ABC's worst-performing affiliates, and the network continues to seek a new affiliate, but with Nexstar now owning both the CW and Channel 11, that's not likely.
At 7:15 the Jimmy Dean local TV show from DC with guest Elvis, circa mid 1950s . At 2:19 an ad for the news operation featuring long time weatherman in DC Louis Allen , future game host Bill Malone and WML moderator John Charles Daly while he was doing his main gig as ABC News VP and evening anchorman .
Channel 7 in New York was WJZ-TV, signed on by ABC in 1948 as a sister to WJZ-AM (770). It took until 1953 for WJZ/ABC, WABC, which CBS held the calls for on 880, and a small station, WCBS in Springfield, IL, to get all the deals made to get WABC radio on 770, WABC-TV on Channel 7, along with WABC-FM (95.5). WCBS went to 880/channel 2 and FM 101.1. The WJZ calls ended up in Baltimore.
As a native DC resident, I recall when this station's (formally WMAL) focus was actually on behalf of every regional viewer. But since Sinclair's acquisition it's become a garbage dump for MAGA and other right-wing misinformation and racist ideologies. I wouldn't watch this station again if it was the last outlet left in the country. Bring back principled journalists who have enough integrity to refuse reciting canned propaganda messages from its slave holders. They are "not" the same station of Paul Berry's heyday.

Hell may freeze over before Sinclair does local news again on it's ABC affiliate in St. Louis, KDNL/30. They haven't done their own news since 2001.
You mean 2001.

WJLA is a fantastic station.
Not even Channel 7 in New York signed on yet?
*Because WABC was founded on April 1947, WABC-TV signed on August 10, 1948.*
