History and Memories of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio Television and Radio from the 1940's-1980's..Dedicated to preserving the Broadcast Heritage of Northeast Ohio..
From TVNut at Dailymotion..Reports on the WJW-TV 8 changeover to WJKW.April 22, 1977..Incidentally..31 years ago yesterday..This replaces an earlier YouTube post..
Art Modell bought WJW radio earlier. Since the radio station had the priority to the WJW monogram, Channel 8 had to change its calls. Apparently, they changed to WJKW to preserve its WJW identity.
I like how they transitioned from the tv 8 evening news to the network news. Just pan the camera over their heads and into the CBS news.
