| Sunday, the 3rd of September 1995 was a big
day in Triad-area television, for that day WNRW-TV, the
area's Fox station, became WXLV-TV and an affilliate of
the ABC Television Network. The clip opens with color
bars, followed by a lenghty sign-on announcement. After
this, we are greeted by VP/General Manager Donita Todd
(probably via tape), which announces the premiere of News
45 later that evening (News 45 would run only until
January 2002, however). WXLV-TV 45 began in 1979 as indie
WGNN-TV. The following year it became WJTM-TV, and around
1985 its call letters were changed to WNRW-TV and
affilliated with the new Fox Television Network. Early in
1995, WGHP-TV Channel 8, the Triad area's ABC affilliate
for 32 years. was purchased by Fox Broadcasting, which
resulted in Channel 45 switching its network affilliation
to ABC (Fox would sell "Fox 8" to Local TV LLC
in July 2008). RELATED CLIPS: |
