Description

• The day...November 30, 1958. The place...1420 Main Street in Buffalo, New York- the original home of WKBW-TV. WKBW-TV began as an extension of the popular WKBW radio 1520am, (now WWKB). The station began under the direction and ownership of the late Dr. Clinton H. Churchill. In fact, the original building used to be a tabernacle, which is key to what WKBW stands for...Well Known Bible Witness.Through the years, WKBW-TV changed ownership and location. In 1960, Capital Cities Communications purchased the station. It became a cornerstone for a company that would later acquire the ABC television network before selling that to the Walt Disney Company. In 1986, J. Bruce Llewellyn acquired the station and operated it under Queen City Broadcasting until 1995...when present owners, Granite Broadcasting, Inc. took control. Granite, under the direction of CEO W. Don Cornwell, stands as one of the most successful minority owned media companies in the country.Granite is now owned by Silverpoint LLC.Newsman Irv Weinstein, sportscaster Rick Azar, and weatherman Tom Jolls stand as the longest running anchor team in Buffalo television history. Their thirty year tenure became the cornerstone for Eyewitness News and that tradition continues today...with current 5, 6 & 11pm anchors Keith Radford and Joanna Pasceri with meterologist Mike Randall, and Sports Director Jeff Russo.
