WCPO-TV, channel 9, is an ABC-affiliated television station located in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. WCPO-TV has been owned by the Cincinnati-based E. W. Scripps Company since its inception, and maintains studio and office facilities in the Mount Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati. The station's transmitter is located in the Mount Auburn section of the city.
History
Early history
The station first signed on the air at noon on July 26, 1949, and first face seen was Big Jim Stacey originally operating on VHF channel 7; it was Cincinnati's third television station. The call letters came from the Cincinnati Post, who also owned WCPO radio (1230 AM, now WDBZ and 105.1 FM, now WUBE). The station was then owned by Scripps-Howard Newspapers.
The station was originally a primary ABC affiliate and a secondary DuMont Television Network affiliate.; With DuMont's demise in 1956, WCPO was left with just ABC until it swapped affiliations with WKRC-TV (channel 12) in 1961, becoming a CBS affiliate. This deal came because WKRC-TV's owner, Taft Broadcasting, had developed very good relations with ABC. Following the release of the FCC's Sixth Report and Order in 1952, all of Cincinnati's VHF stations changed channel positions. WCPO was reassigned to channel 9, as the previous channel 7 allocation was shifted north to Dayton and later given to WHIO-TV.
