| dbo:abstract |
WKBF-TV was a television station that broadcast on channel 61 in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, from January 1968 to April 1975. Owned and operated by Kaiser Broadcasting as one of an eventual group of six stations, it was the first ultra high frequency (UHF) independent station to serve northeast Ohio and the last outlet constructed by the Kaiser chain during the 1960s to begin operations. Despite airing several high-profile local programs, Kaiser's efforts to establish itself in Cleveland never took root because of the establishment of a second independent outlet, WUAB, later that same year, as well as general stagnation in the Cleveland market. In April 1975, Kaiser shut WKBF-TV down and sold its programming inventory to WUAB in exchange for a minority stake in that station. WKBF-TV maintained studios in the Cleveland suburb of Euclid, Ohio, while the transmitter was located in nearby Parma. (en) |

A demand for any profit must be conceived by consumer demand. Then a second independent facility arrived in less than a year after our operation. We realized the serious jeopardy and knew that only one successful one must merge. We are now terminating broadcasting operations. On behalf of Kaiser Broadcasting and myself, thank you. (en) Of course the program director had to go back to his management and say that a guy in a lab coat full of buttons with a pair of glasses with one eye out and a wild wig was telling him he could double his ratings. (en) We will be able to write the rules as we go since we won't be saddled with stereotyped ways. We'll just tell the stories the way they are. We will be able to spend any amount of time on a story that it deserves. (en) |
