Interesting. I would like to know more about WKST Channel 45 in Youngstown. WYTV 33 is the current ABC affiliate. I think 45 is a translator for PBS there now. From the call letters I think this station may have actually been located in New Castle, PA, just over the border. WFMJ 21 was still running Popeye and Friends as late as 1981. And I remember a time when you could not turn on any Ohio station without finding Rex Humbard on at one time or another.

FreddyE:
The short history is that WKST 45 moved to Youngstown and down the dial to channel 33 sometime later in 1959 and changed call letters to WYTV-33 in 1964. Another station on 45, WXTV ran as an independent channel for a year or 2 then went dark,,WNEO is a full power PBS on 45 that came around 1973..If you do a search of WKST 45 from earlier Radio-Info posts..should tell you a little more there<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by TimL on 04/12/06 08:29 PM.</FONT></P>

Thanks for the info! I grew up on top of a 400 ft. hilltop in Pittsburgh, where I could get all of the stations from surrounding markets like Youngstown. Often the production values were even lower than the local Pittsburgh stations, making them fun to watch. The WKBN-TV27 Money Movie was popular at our house.
