Historia
Como WJZ-TV (1948-1953)
La estación firmó el 10 de agosto de 1948 como WJZ-TV , [4] la primera de las tres estaciones de televisión contratadas por ABC durante ese mismo año, siendo WENR-TV en Chicago y WXYZ-TV en Detroit las otras dos. Las letras de identificación del Canal 7 provienen de su estación de radio hermana, WJZ . En sus primeros años, WJZ-TV se programó como una estación independiente , ya que la red de televisión ABC estaba todavía, en su mayor parte, en sus primeras etapas de desarrollo; las estaciones propiedad de ABC transmitieron alguna programación común durante este período, especialmente después de la temporada de otoño de 1949, cuando el horario de máxima audiencia de la cadena comenzó a expandirse. El sitio del transmisor original de la estación estaba ubicado en The Pierre Hotel en 2 East 61st Street, antes de mudarse al Empire State Building unos años más tarde. Los estudios originales de la estación estaban ubicados en 77 West 66th Street, con estudios adicionales en 7 West 66th Street. Un túnel conectaba los estudios ABC en 7 West 66th Street con el vestíbulo del Hotel des Artistes, una cuadra al norte de West 67th Street. Otro estudio dentro del Hotel des Artistes se utilizó para la conferencia de prensa de Eyewitness . [ cita requerida ]
Como WABC-TV (1953-presente)
Las letras de identificación de la estación se cambiaron a WABC-TV el 1 de marzo de 1953 [5] [6] después de que ABC fusionara sus operaciones con United Paramount Theatres , una empresa que se separó de la antigua empresa matriz Paramount Pictures por decreto del gobierno de Estados Unidos. [7] El indicativo de WJZ-TV fue reasignado más tarde a Westinghouse Broadcasting (los propietarios originales de la radio WJZ en Nueva York) como un guiño histórico en 1957 para su estación de televisión recién adquirida en Baltimore , una estación que fue, por coincidencia, una ABC. afiliado hasta 1995.
Como parte del programa de expansión de ABC, iniciado en 1977, ABC construyó 7 Lincoln Square en la esquina sureste de West 67th Street y Columbus Avenue , en el sitio de un almacén de mudanza y almacenamiento abandonado. Aproximadamente al mismo tiempo, se inició la construcción en 30 West 67th Street en el sitio de un antiguo estacionamiento. Ambos edificios se completaron en junio de 1979 y WABC-TV trasladó sus oficinas de 77 West 66th Street a 7 Lincoln Square.
El 11 de septiembre de 2001, las instalaciones del transmisor de WABC-TV, así como otras ocho estaciones de televisión locales y varias estaciones de radio, fueron destruidas cuando dos aviones secuestrados chocaron y destruyeron las torres norte y sur del World Trade Center . Donald DiFranco, ingeniero de mantenimiento de transmisores de WABC-TV, murió en el ataque. [8] Inmediatamente después, la estación envió su señal a WNYE-TV , WHSE-TV , WHSI-TV y la red de Nueva Jersey ( WNJN , WNJB , WNJT , WNJS , W43CH-D, W49BE-D y W35DK- D) [9] antes de establecer instalaciones temporales en Armstrong Tower en Alpine, Nueva Jersey . La estación finalmente restableció las instalaciones de transmisión en el Empire State Building, su hogar original cuando firmó al aire en 1948. [10]
ABC News Now se lanzó en 2004 en los subcanales digitales de las estaciones ABC O&O. [11] El 31 de enero de 2005, ABC eliminó ABC News Now de los subcanales de O&O y estaciones afiliadas cuando el canal terminó su fase experimental originalmente. [12] El grupo cambió su programación en canales secundarios a ABC Plus, un formato de noticias y asuntos públicos locales. ABC se asoció con AccuWeather para lanzar un servicio de multidifusión en el tercer subcanal de WABC entre el 9 de diciembre de 2005 y el 31 de marzo de 2006. [13]
El 27 de mayo de 2007, los estudios de WABC-TV sufrieron daños importantes como resultado de un incendio que dejó la estación fuera del aire poco antes del inicio del noticiero de las 11:00 pm. Según informes preliminares, el fuego pudo haber sido encendido por un foco que entró en contacto con una cortina dentro del estudio de noticias; El sitio web de la estación informó más tarde de la causa como un "mal funcionamiento eléctrico". El edificio de la estación fue evacuado y el fuego fue controlado, aunque se dijo que el estudio estaba "gravemente dañado", ya que había sufrido daños por humo y agua. WABC-TV reanudó la transmisión alrededor de la 1:00 am del 28 de mayo de 2007 (inicialmente transmitía la transmisión de Brothers & Sisters a las 10:00 pm de la costa oeste de la cadena , seguida de la transmisión completa de World News Now ). Debido al incendio, la estación transmitió Eyewitness News desde la sala de redacción, mientras que Live! con Regis y Kelly , cuyo set también se vio afectado, se trasladó al set de Who Wants to Be a Millionaire . Comenzando con el noticiero de las 5:00 pm del 20 de junio de 2007, la estación reanudó Eyewitness News y Live! transmite desde sus estudios principales en Columbus Avenue y 66th Street. [14]
El Bien Live Network (LWN) fue lanzado el 27 de abril de 2009 en alta definición por las estaciones de O & O de ABC en las estaciones .2 subcanales. [15] [16]
WABC-TV descontinuó la programación regular en su señal analógica, el canal 7 de VHF , a las 12:30 pm del 12 de junio de 2009, como parte de la transición exigida por el gobierno federal de la televisión analógica a la digital . [17] La señal digital de la estación se reubicó desde su canal 45 de UHF previo a la transición al canal 7 de VHF. [18] [19] La señal digital de WABC fue inicialmente difícil de recibir por aire en la ciudad de Nueva York. La Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones (FCC) solicitó a la estación que transmitiera a menor potencia; WABC fue una de las muchas estaciones que han considerado necesario aumentar la potencia para restaurar la cobertura al mismo nivel que su antigua señal analógica. El 29 de junio de 2009, WABC presentó una solicitud ante la FCC para aumentar la potencia de 11,69 kW a 27 kW. [20] El 31 de enero de 2010, la FCC otorgó una autoridad temporal especial (STA) para que la estación aumentara la potencia a 26,9 kW. [21]
En mayo de 2013, WABC-TV y la estación hermana de Filadelfia WPVI-TV se convirtieron en las dos primeras estaciones propiedad de ABC en ofrecer transmisión de programación en vivo por Internet a los suscriptores autenticados de los proveedores de televisión por cable y satelital participantes, como se proporciona a través del relanzado Watch ABC mobile. aplicaciones . [22] [23]
ABCOTS indicó en enero de 2015 que el tercer subcanal de sus estaciones se afiliaría a la red Laff tras su lanzamiento el 15 de abril de 2015, pero hasta entonces, LWN se ejecutaría en ambos subcanales. [24] ABC Stations cambió el nombre de Live Well Network en .2 como Localish el 17 de febrero de 2020 para agregar una salida para el contenido de estilo de vida de Localish. [25]
Disputas sobre el transporte de cables
Cablevisión (2010)
El 7 de marzo de 2010 a las 12:02 am, la señal de WABC-TV fue eliminada de los sistemas del área de Nueva York de Cablevision (incluido iO Digital Cable) después de no alcanzar los términos de un nuevo acuerdo de consentimiento de retransmisión ; la estación fue reemplazada por una pantalla en blanco o un video en bucle que contenía un mensaje de Cablevisión sobre la eliminación. Para evitar la interrupción de la programación, la estación instó a los suscriptores de Cablevisión en el área de visualización de la estación (por un total de hasta tres millones de suscriptores) a cambiarse a otros servicios, como Verizon FiOS y DirecTV o simplemente ver la estación por aire a través de un canal. antena digital de aire y, si es necesario, una caja convertidora digital, para televisores más antiguos. [26] La estación hermana de WABC, WPVI-TV en Filadelfia también fue extraída de los sistemas de Cablevision en Nueva Jersey en los condados de Mercer , Ocean y Monmouth . [27]
Más tarde ese mismo día aproximadamente a las 8:50 pm, 20 minutos después de la transmisión de ABC de la 82a Entrega Anual de los Premios de la Academia , Cablevisión y ABC llegaron a un acuerdo, restaurando las señales de WABC y WPVI para los suscriptores de Cablevisión después de un apagón de casi 21 horas. [28]
Time Warner Cable (2010)
En julio de 2010, la empresa matriz de ABC, Disney, anunció que estaba involucrada en una disputa de transporte con Time Warner Cable (ahora Spectrum ), la primera con ese proveedor en 10 años. Esta disputa involucró a cuatro estaciones propiedad y operadas por ABC (WABC-TV y estaciones hermanas KABC-TV en Los Ángeles, WTVD en Durham, Carolina del Norte y WTVG en Toledo, Ohio [esta última estación sería vendida por ABC el próximo año] ), Disney Channel y las redes ESPN . Si no hubiera un acuerdo, las estaciones y canales de cable afectados se habrían eliminado de los sistemas de Time Warner y Bright House Networks en todo el país. El 2 de septiembre de 2010, Disney y Time Warner Cable llegaron a un acuerdo a largo plazo para mantener los canales en los sistemas de Time Warner Cable. [29]

Programación
WABC ha presentado durante mucho tiempo eventos como el Desfile del Día de la Raza y el Desfile del Día de Puerto Rico y, a partir de 2017, se convirtió en la primera estación de televisión en transmitir la Marcha del Orgullo LGBT de la ciudad de Nueva York . [30] Además, la estación también está produciendo programas locales como Here and Now , un programa que cubre los últimos temas, tendencias y noticias que impactan a la comunidad negra local, Tiempo , un programa semanal que se enfoca en los problemas que afectan a los ciudadanos hispanos locales. y Up Close , un programa de asuntos públicos sobre los últimos temas con los creadores de noticias. La estación también produjo anteriormente Viewpoint , un programa semanal que destacaba los esfuerzos culturales y comunitarios en Nueva York, Long Island y Nueva Jersey (cada una de estas regiones rotaba semanalmente).
A partir de 2020, además de Live with Kelly y Ryan , los programas sindicados de primera ejecución de WABC incluyen Tamron Hall , Rachael Ray , Jeopardy! y Wheel of Fortune . La estación también transmite reposiciones fuera de la red de Wipeout y Castle , ambos programas anteriores de ABC, durante las noches de fin de semana.
Vivir con Kelly y Ryan
WABC-TV produce el programa de entrevistas sindicado a nivel nacional Live with Kelly and Ryan . [31] Hasta que los noticieros de la estación se trasladaron a un estudio separado en 2011, el programa se originó en el mismo estudio de la planta baja en 7 Lincoln Square que Eyewitness News , creando así una situación que forzó la transmisión de actualizaciones de noticias locales durante Good Morning America y Live. que se producirá desde la sala de redacción de WABC-TV y la presencia del programa matutino también limitó el tamaño del set de Eyewitness News .
Raíces del programa se originó con AM Nueva York , que comenzó en 1970 como una versión local de la NBC 's Hoy espectáculo; [32] su primer anfitrión fue John Bartholomew Tucker , quien permaneció en el programa hasta 1972. Después de la partida de Tucker, una sucesión de anfitriones vino y se fue, el más exitoso de los cuales fue Stanley Siegel, quien fue anfitrión de 1975 a 1978 (durante un año a partir de 1977, la serie se llamó The Stanley Siegel Show ). [33] Después de 1980, el programa fue rebautizado como Good Morning New York , cuyos coanfitriones en los últimos años de su ejecución en esa forma incluyeron a Spencer Christian , Andrea Kirby, Judy Licht , Dick Wolfsie y el reportero y presentador de Eyewitness News Doug Johnson. . Después de años de una batalla de audiencia perdida contra Donahue en WNBC-TV, WABC-TV canceló Good Morning New York a principios de 1983. [34]
The current show began as the station's second attempt at a local morning show a month later, aptly titled The Morning Show (using the "Circle 7" logo in the actual text for one of the "o"s) and was originally hosted by Regis Philbin and Cyndy Garvey. After Garvey's departure a year later, she was replaced by Ann Abernathy, who in turn, left in 1985 to return to Los Angeles. That year, Kathie Lee Johnson (who would marry Frank Gifford a year later) became Philbin's new co-host.
In 1988, Buena Vista Television began syndicating the show nationally as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. Gifford left the show in 2000 and was eventually replaced by Kelly Ripa. Philbin left the show in November 2011 and the show aired for nearly a year as Live! with Kelly until former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan became Ripa's permanent co-host in September 2012. In May 2016, Strahan left the show to become a full-time anchor at Good Morning America, thus leaving Ripa as the solo host again. On May 1, 2017, it was announced that Ryan Seacrest would become the new host of the show; in order to accommodate his syndicated radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest (which normally originates from Los Angeles), an additional studio was built within WABC's facilities.[35]
Sports programming
WABC-TV serves as the local over-the-air broadcaster of Monday Night Football games involving the New York Giants and the New York Jets, airing simulcasts of the team's ESPN-televised games (WABC-TV's corporate parent, The Walt Disney Company, holds an 80% majority ownership stake in ESPN, and the ABC Owned Television Stations have right of first refusal for simulcasts of ESPN's NFL telecasts within a team's home market). Because of this, atypical for a network-owned station outside of breaking news and severe weather coverage necessitating such situations, the station has had to reschedule ABC network programs preempted by the telecasts. The preseason and Monday night telecasts mark the only NFL games to have aired on WABC-TV since ABC lost the rights to NFL games in 2006. Monday Night Football telecasts involving the Giants or Jets that are not carried by WABC-TV are sublicensed to WPIX.[36] The station carried coverage of the Giants' victory in Super Bowl XXV.
Since 2013, WABC-TV serves as the exclusive local English-language carrier of the annual New York City Marathon, which the station airs live, highlights air via ESPN on ABC. The station preempts a weekend edition of Good Morning America and delays This Week to schedule time for the live broadcast. The marathon is also simulcast on ESPN2 nationally (although viewers in the WABC-TV viewing area cannot see it via ESPN2 because the simulcast is blacked out locally).
WABC-TV currently airs any New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets games televised via the NBA on ABC. The station has aired the Knicks' appearances in the 1970, 1972 and 1973 NBA Finals (where the Knicks won in 1970 and 1973), as well as the then-New Jersey Nets' appearance in the 2003 NBA Finals.
WABC-TV previously aired New York Rangers, New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils games carried through the NHL on ABC; this included the Devils' victories in the 2000 and 2003 Stanley Cup Finals, as well as their defeat in the 2001 Stanley Cup Finals. Beginning in 2021, it will reassume this duty, this time, as the FTA simulcast partner of the NHL on ESPN.
WABC-TV also previously aired any New York Yankees and New York Mets games through ABC's baseball contract; this included the Yankees' victory in the 1977 World Series and defeat in the 1981 World Series.
Operación de noticias
WABC-TV presently broadcasts 43 hours, 55 minutes of locally produced newscasts each week (with 6 hours, 35 minutes each weekday and 5+1⁄2 hours each on Saturdays and Sundays). The station partners with Philadelphia sister station, WPVI-TV – which popularized the Action News format – in the production and broadcast of statewide New Jersey political debates. When the two stations broadcast a statewide office debate, such as for Governor or U.S. Senate, they'll pool resources and have anchors or reporters from both stations participate in the debate. Additionally, the two stations share coverage of news from New Jersey where their markets overlap, pooling reporters, live trucks, and helicopters.
Beginning to 1968
WABC-TV launched Report to New York, its first regular news program, on October 26, 1959, featuring Scott Vincent with news, Howard Cosell with sports, and Lynn Dollar with the weather. Report to New York aired Monday through Friday at 11:00 p.m. By January 1961, channel 7 expanded Report to New York with a 15-minute early edition at 6:15 p.m. on weeknights, and on Saturday and Sunday evenings.
On October 22, 1962, WABC-TV expanded its weeknight news to 45-minutes, and retitled it The Big News. Newcomers Bill Beutel and Jim Burnes[37] were the anchors, with Cosell continuing on sports and Rosemary Haley as "weather girl".[38] However, this effort failed to draw viewers from the ratings leader WCBS-TV and second-place WNBC-TV.
The Eyewitness News era
In early 1968, Beutel left the station to become the London bureau chief for ABC News and was replaced by Roger Grimsby, who was transferred by ABC from San Francisco sister station KGO-TV. In a complete revamp, Grimsby was joined by Tex Antoine doing weather, celebrity gossip columnist Rona Barrett, New York Daily News columnist Jimmy Breslin with political commentary and reviews by Martin Bookspan and Allan Jeffries, while Cosell continued doing sports. Known as Roger Grimsby and the Noisemakers, this format didn't help the ratings, which plunged to an all-time low.[39]
Later that year, newly hired news director Al Primo brought to WABC-TV the Eyewitness News format and branding, in which reporters present their stories directly to the viewers. Having experienced great success introducing the format during his time at KYW-TV in Philadelphia, Primo this time added a twist – a degree of conversational chatter among the anchors, known as "happy talk". The "Tar Sequence" cue from the musical score of the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke, composed by Lalo Schifrin, was introduced as the theme music. The score included a telegraphic-style melody appropriate for a newscast. The Eyewitness News format and theme music were quickly adopted by ABC's other four owned-and-operated stations at the time: KGO-TV, WLS-TV in Chicago, WXYZ-TV in Detroit and KABC-TV in Los Angeles (though KGO-TV and WXYZ-TV didn't use the Eyewitness News title for their programs). The format quickly rejuvenated a station that had long been an also-ran to WCBS-TV and WNBC-TV. Within a year, Channel 7 had shot to first place in the ratings for the first time in its history, displacing longtime leader WCBS-TV. It spent most of the decade going back and forth with WCBS-TV for first place. For a time in the 1980s, it fell into last place among the network-owned stations, but still fought with WNBC-TV for second place.
Retaining only Grimsby, Cosell, and Antoine from the earlier Noisemakers format, Primo also hired Tom Dunn away from WCBS-TV to serve as Grimsby's co-anchor. After Dunn departed for WOR-TV in 1970, Bill Beutel returned to the station as his replacement and for the next 16 years, Grimsby and Beutel were the faces of Eyewitness News.
The Grimsby-Beutel team were split up for several months in 1975 after ABC had reassigned Beutel to its new morning show, AM America that January. The station brought in WXYZ-TV's Bill Bonds and veteran Boston anchor Tom Ellis to help replace Beutel, with Grimsby teaming with Ellis at 6:00 p.m. and Bonds at 11:00 p.m.[40] When AM America was canceled and replaced with Good Morning America in November 1975, Beutel was re-teamed with Grimsby at 6:00 p.m., with Ellis joining Bonds at 11:00 p.m.. Bonds returned to Detroit in June 1976[41] and was replaced by Larry Kane,[42] who lasted only one year as the sole 11:00 p.m. anchor before returning to his home market of Philadelphia. Ellis remained until May 1977[43] and Kane's successor, Ernie Anastos, began his New York career at the station; he co-anchored at 11:00 p.m. with Rose Ann Scamardella and later Kaity Tong, for his entire 12-year tenure there.
On November 30, 1981, the station became the second in the city to expand its late afternoon/evening newscasts by adding of a 5:00 p.m. edition, first presented by Rose Ann Scamardella and Storm Field, later succeeded by Kaity Tong and Tom Snyder, the latter only lasting several months before being replaced by 11:00 p.m. co-anchor Ernie Anastos.
In 1985, the station lured WLS-TV's news director, Bill Applegate, from Chicago to New York City. Applegate claimed credit for taking WLS-TV from last to first in only two years and ABC hoped he could work the same magic at the flagship station. In the wake of declining ratings, Grimsby was fired on April 16, 1986, a move for which Applegate drew considerable ire and Grimsby was quickly hired by rival WNBC-TV. In 1987, Channel 7 surged back into first place. It has been the ratings leader in New York City since then, and has grown to become the most-watched broadcast television station in the United States.[44] Beutel stepped down from the anchor desk in 2001, which concluded the longest tenure for a main anchor in New York City television history at that time. His record has since been surpassed by WNBC's Chuck Scarborough and WXTV's Rafael Pineda. Scarborough's uninterrupted run behind the desk is the longest in New York television (since 1974). Pineda is second, having started with WXTV in 1972, retiring in 2013 after 41 years.
2000–present
WABC-TV's news department is respected for its straightforward presentation (especially during breaking news). For the last decade, it has waged a spirited battle for first place, but for most of the time has held onto the lead, helped in part by lead-ins from the highly rated talk and entertainment shows. For over 24 years (December 1986 to May 2011), the lead-in for the 5:00 p.m. Eyewitness News broadcast had been The Oprah Winfrey Show at 4:00 p.m. and its strong ratings brought viewers along to the 5:00 p.m. newscast.
The newscasts were replayed on one of channel 7's digital subchannels, another which also carried local weather and news channel. WABC-TV's website had a link for live streaming video of "Channel 7 Eyewitness News NOW", which offered live local and national weather updated from AccuWeather alongside local news. The format of "Eyewitness News NOW" is similar to the defunct NBC Weather Plus. On February 24, 2011, AccuWeather and ABC both replaced ENN as well as similar news channels on WABC-TV's sister stations, KABC-TV in Los Angeles and WLS-TV in Chicago, replacing them in all three cities with a standard definition, letterboxed simulcast of the Live Well Network, and then on April 15, 2015, these stations were replaced by Laff.
On December 2, 2006, WABC-TV became the second station in the New York City market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition. On September 7, 2010, WABC-TV expanded its weekday morning newscast, moving its start time to 4:30 a.m. 3 Days earlier on September 4, 2010, WABC added an hour-long extension of its Saturday morning newscast from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.[45] On May 26, 2011, WABC-TV added another hour of local news at 4:00 p.m. to replace Oprah, which aired its last original episode the previous day. WABC also produces a 7:00 p.m. newscast on Saturdays following college football during the regular season.
On September 24, 2011, the station began broadcasting its newscasts and public affairs programs from a new street-level window studio at a former Disney Store location in the ABC building on 66th Street and Columbus Avenue. The space previously used for news broadcasts was used to expand the Live with Kelly studio.[46][47] In January 2012, the station also expanded its weekend 11:00 p.m. newscasts to an hour. On September 8, 2014, the station expanded its Noon newscast to one full hour from the previous half hour.[48]
WABC-TV will leave its longtime home of Lincoln Square upon the completion of a new campus for Disney, located at Hudson Square in Lower Manhattan.[49]
