Metromedia
Defunct American media company
Metromedia was a media company that owned and operated a number of television and radio stations in the United States. It was founded in 1956 by John W. Kluge and was based in New York City. Metromedia is considered one of the predecessors of the Fox Broadcasting Company.
History[edit]
Metromedia was formed from the assets of the DuMont Television Network, which ceased operations in 1956. John W. Kluge purchased the network's remaining stations and rebranded them under the Metromedia name. The company expanded its holdings to include several major-market television and radio stations.
Television Stations[edit]
Metromedia owned several television stations, including:
- WNEW-TV (now WNYW) in New York City
- KTTV in Los Angeles
- WTTG in Washington, D.C.
- WFLD in Chicago
- KRIV in Houston
- KDAF in Dallas
These stations were known for their independent programming and were among the most successful independent stations in the country.
Radio Stations[edit]
Metromedia also owned a number of radio stations, including:
The radio stations were known for their diverse programming, including music, news, and talk radio.
Film and Television Production[edit]
In addition to its broadcasting operations, Metromedia was involved in film and television production. The company produced several popular television shows and movies.
Acquisition by News Corporation[edit]
In 1986, Metromedia was acquired by News Corporation, owned by Rupert Murdoch. The acquisition led to the creation of the Fox Broadcasting Company, which utilized Metromedia's television stations as the foundation for the new network.
Legacy[edit]
Metromedia played a significant role in the development of independent television in the United States. Its stations were known for their innovative programming and served as a model for other independent broadcasters. The company's acquisition by News Corporation and the subsequent creation of the Fox Broadcasting Company marked a significant shift in the American television landscape.
