Elliott Block loved television. He loved TV technology, loved talking about it, and most of all, he loved providing the Greater Cincinnati area with a variety of TV programming on his low-power WKRP channels.

Block, who died Sunday at age 71, was a national low-power TV pioneer.

What started as limited-range W25AI-TV in 1990 grew into two TV stations broadcasting 12 networks on Channels 25 (WBQC-TV) and 38 (WOTH-TV), and later Channel 20. He also generously shared his experiences and technology expertise with many low-power TV operators.

Despite signal limitations, his Channel 25 broadcast UC, Xavier and Cleveland Cavaliers basketball; Cyclones hockey games; the Findlay Market Opening Day parade; and WB and UPN networks.

His second station, WOTH-TV, which stood for his "other station," shut down in January 2018 as part of the Federal Communications Commission "repack," or TV channel re-alignment.
