Comments:Storer Broadcasting acquired WJW-AM and FM (850, 104.1) from William O'Neil in late 1954..By 1956 WXEL's Call Letters were changed to WJW-TV..Things were still unsettled for a while as several "To Be Announced" slots indicate..These were the last days of DuMont as a viable national TV network..So by the end of 1955 WEWS was exclusively an ABC affiliate..WKBN had ABC shows all over the schedule, even in just the few days shown here..WKST 45 New Castle, Pa. Would begin Broadcasting in 1957 As Youngstown's ABC affiliate..(Now WYTV-33)

Comments:Storer Broadcasting acquired WJW-AM and FM (850, 104.1) from William O'Neil in late 1954..By 1956 WXEL's Call Letters were changed to WJW-TV..Things were still unsettled for a while as several "To Be Announced" slots indicate..These were the last days of DuMont as a viable national TV network..So by the end of 1955 WEWS was exclusively an ABC affiliate..WKBN had ABC shows all over the schedule, even in just the few days shown here..WKST 45 New Castle, Pa. Would begin Broadcasting in 1957 As Youngstown's ABC affiliate..(Now WYTV-33)
