Special Feature: History of WKYC

WKYC's Current Station Logo
The Director's Cut Blog often gets emails from readers wanting to know more about the history of WKYC from its sign on as WNBK/Channel 4 in 1948 to our current location on Digital Channel 17.

We have put together a cool little download as an Adobe .pdf file called the "History of WKYC-TV from 1948 to 2010"

It's a timeline of some of the important dates in the station's history that we hope to add upon in the upcoming months and years as we do some more research to fill in the gaps between dates.

It was interesting to see how much has happened since your blogger started at WKYC in June 1994 and how the station is very different (and safer) than it was over at E. 6th Street in our old home.

We'd like to thank Tim Lone's Cleveland Classic Media Blog and Cleveland Seniors for a couple of the photos included.
