Westinghouse had no intention of moving to Cleveland, but NBC wanted a Phildelphia O & O<BR/>so they proposed that Westinghouse and NBC swap Cleveland for Philadelphia and a pile of money (because of difference in size of the market) Westinghouse didn't want to swap, so NBC said that if they didn't do it, they would take way the NBC affiliation from WBZ in Boston. So KYW AM/FM/TV moved to Cleveland. This move was approved by the Eisenhower appointed FCC. Then in 1965, the Lindon Johnson FCC reversed the approval and said to NBC, give Philadelphia back to Westinghouse. And KYW crept out of town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
