The station signed-on as WCCB-TV in 1962 with unknown owners. This venture failed shortly thereafter and the station went dark. Few recall this short beginning of channel 32's history. Bahakel Communications, headed by Cy Bahakel (a native Alabamian), purchased the dormant channel 32 license and returned it to the air in early 1964 as WKAB-TV (standing for "Kasner and Bahakel", referring to Bahakel's engineering partner and close friend, Don Kasner) as the fourth television station in the Montgomery area. Bahakel wound up taking the original WCCB calls for his flagship station in Charlotte, North Carolina.
WJRT-TV, channel 12, is the ABC-affiliated station for the Flint/Tri-Cities television market, owned by Gray Television. Its studios are located on Lapeer Road in Flint, Michigan, with offices and a second newsroom for the Tri-Cities located in Saginaw. The station broadcasts its multiplexed digital signal with 30 kilowatts of power from a 286 metres (938ft) high tower located on Burt Road (near Bishop Road) in Albee Township, Michigan.
WJRT-TV is the only station in the Flint/Tri-Cities market that is headquartered in the city of Flint, and in turn tends to focus its local news stories on Flint and Genesee County, with a secondary emphasis on the Tri-Cities.
History
Goodwill Stations
WJRT-TV was founded in 1958 by Goodwill Stations, the owner of WJR in Detroit at the time. That company won out over two other companies seeking to operate channel 12, the Trebit Corp. (which owned WFDF) and W.S. Butterfield Theatres, Inc. Channel 12 initially wanted to place its transmitter in Independence Township, Michigan. When it was learned that Independence Township was located in Oakland County, part of the Detroit television market, Goodwill settled on placing the tower in St. Charles Township in southwestern Saginaw County; the transmitter remains there today.
ABS commenced digital television transmission in January 2001, broadcasting on VHF Channel 12 while maintaining analogue transmission on VHF Channel 2.
The analogue signal for ABS was shut off at 9.00am CST, Tuesday, 2 April 2013.

In chess, the player who moves first is referred to as "White" and the player who moves second is referred to as "Black". Similarly, the pieces that each conducts are called, respectively, "the white pieces" and "the black pieces". The pieces are often not literally white and black, but some other colors (usually a light color and a dark color, respectively). The 64 squares of the chessboard, which is colored in a checkered pattern, are likewise referred to as "white squares" or "light squares" on the one hand, and "black squares" or "dark squares" on the other. In most cases, the squares are not actually white and black, but a light color and a contrasting dark color. For example, the squares on plastic boards are often off-white ("buff") and green, while those on wood boards are often light brown and dark brown.
In old chess writings, the sides are often called Red and Black, because those were the two colors of ink then commonly available when hand-drawing or printing chess position diagrams.
Black is Lita Ford's sixth studio album and featured a change of style in her music, compared to her other albums. Black sees Ford move into other musical styles such as blues and grunge, while still maintaining her metal and rock roots. There would be a 14-year gap between Black and her next studio album, 2009's Wicked Wonderland.
Track listing
All songs were written by Michael Dan Ehmig and Lita Ford, except where noted.
Black (Bengali:ব্ল্যাক) is an Bangladeshi rock band, formed in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They were one of the very first bands to come out from the underground scene in Dhaka and has over the years garnered a big enough fan-following to be considered a pioneer of alternative rock music in Bangladesh. The band has gained popularity over the years for their hook-laden rock compositions. In 2004, as a result of the band's immense popularity around the time of the release of their second album, Utsober Por, Black was appointed the brand ambassador for Pepsi and Djuice, a youth based phone plan from Grameenphone and Telenor.
Childhood friends and schoolmates Jon, Jahan and Tony always shared a similar passion towards music. Their time was mostly spent at each other's houses listening to records from bands such as Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden. Pearl Jam's debut album Ten had a profound effect on the three and is said to have been the tipping point at which they decided to take up music professionally. After convincing each other about their musical skills the trio decided to form a band and soon enough they were jamming at their friends homes. Initially they decided to name their group Dope Smuglazz, as a wink to the irreverent parental fears of rock music and its supposed concurrent substance abuse, but soon enough shifted to the name Black by a suggestion from classmate and future band member Asif Haque.
In a modern sense, comedy (from the Greek:κωμῳδία, kōmōidía) refers to any discourse or work generally intended to be humorous or to amuse by inducing laughter, especially in theatre, television, film and stand-up comedy. The origins of the term are found in Ancient Greece. In the Athenian democracy, the public opinion of voters was influenced by the political satire performed by the comic poets at the theaters. The theatrical genre of Greek comedy can be described as a dramatic performance which pits two groups or societies against each other in an amusing agon or conflict. Northrop Frye depicted these two opposing sides as a "Society of Youth" and a "Society of the Old". A revised view characterizes the essential agon of comedy as a struggle between a relatively powerless youth and the societal conventions that pose obstacles to his hopes. In this struggle, the youth is understood to be constrained by his lack of social authority, and is left with little choice but to take recourse in ruses which engender very dramatic irony which provokes laughter.

WKAB/WHOA/WNCF ABC 32 id promo montage 1986-2023
Here is an id promo montage from the ABC affiliate in Montgomery, now known as WNCF. All copyrights of Terrapin, Frey, Soundview, Park, Media General, and SagamoreHill/Bahakel acknowledged. The station signed on in 1962 as an ABC affiliate for Montgomery, AL and had changed hands and ownership and call signs throughout its history. Today, the station is partnered with CBS affiliate WAKA under a shared services agreement. Ids and promos are range from the mid 1980s until 2023. In terms of subchannels, WNCF simulcasts WBMM (CW affiliate) on its second subchannel. Although sister station WAKA has been rebranding a Action News 8 while deemphasizing the CBS 8 branding, WNCF has largely stuck with being known as ABC 32 (at least as of the most recent ids).

The grim reality has taken a twisted turn in favor of those who stand unapologetic Fanatics attack the structures of society – Preserving their faith as champions of morality Performing God’s work on earth What if we let ourselves be held hostage to the rhetoric of irreconcilable values? Hypocrites profound, denouncing all in their way Poisoning children’s minds to maintain their position through moral retribution reproducing lies The irony is as real as it is tragic – religious zealots mobilize to bring on the second coming Their strain of fascist idealism meticulously designed to advance their own salvation (Ignite a war!) And is the end result holier than the means? A pathetic attempt to restore some human dignity? Paradox of democracy, allowing those whom seek to destroy it to exert their claims as we stand by and tolerate it as faith… Sic Transit Gloria Mundi We’re all in the same boat that barely floats Yet true believers drive to see us drown Fighting evil with evil – we choose replicate History has a sordid-way of repeating itself Why can we never see this for ourselves? Delusions of grandeur, since when did God represent peace and love? Throughout the ages minions legitimized enemies shall pay with blood Conformed rationale – self-righteous response Judge they’d rather see the world burn, than the fully of what they believe Waiting for their prayers to be heard and observed Manipulating the highest quarters of political power Arrogance, ignorance, in such lethal combination Blind adherence to these words has come to signify… How enmeshed we are in lies – Odium by default Until the End Programmed to the hate Awaiting godsend As the world’s wars join as one
