History The station first signed on the air on July 26 1949 as Cincinnati s third television station The call letters came from the Post who also owned WCPO radio Cincinnati s original Top 40 Rock station AM 1230 now WDBZ and FM 105 1 now WUBE Originally on channel 7 it moved to channel 9 in 1952 The station was originally a primary ABC affiliate and also carried a secondary affiliation with the DuMont Television Network With DuMont s demise in 1956 WCPO was left with just ABC until it swapped affiliations with WKRC TV in 1961 becoming a CBS affiliate This deal came because WKRC TV s owner Taft Broadcasting had very good relations with ABC WCPO logo in 1991 while the station was a CBS affiliate In 1994 Scripps and ABC announced a long term affiliation deal which called for four Scripps owned stations switching to ABC WCPO was included in the deal which ABC agreed to as a condition of keeping its affiliation on Scripps two biggest stations WXYZ TV in Detroit and WEWS in Cleveland Both of those stations had been heavily wooed by CBS which was about to lose its longtime Detroit and Cleveland affiliates to Fox However while three other Scripps owned stations included in the same deal switched to ABC in December 1994 and January 1995 Scripps had to maintain CBS affiliation on WCPO for an additional one and a half years because WKRC s affiliation contract with ABC did not run out until June 6 1996 On that day the two stations finally reversed the 1961 affiliation swap with WCPO rejoining ABC and WKRC reuniting with CBS In December 2009 WCPO reached an agreement with local Fox affiliate WXIX TV to pool videographers at press conferences Hostage situation On the early morning of October 15 1980 WCPO and most of its news staff became part of a major news story when a terrorist seized control of WCPO s newsroom James Hoskins a radical held reporter Elaine Green and her cameraman at gunpoint in the parking lot of WCPO s studios Then after barging his way into the newsroom took seven more hostages An admitted terrorist Hoskins stated in a videotaped interview with Green that he had among other things murdered his girlfriend before arriving at the studios After voicing his displeasure with local government Hoskins ended by saying that he would let his hostages go but only after they helped him to barricade himself in their newsroom in anticipation of a bloody shootout with police Green and the others pleaded with Hoskins to get help but to no avail WCPO s news staff ran special newscasts from the parking lot most of that morning True to his word Hoskins eventually let all the hostages go and the standoff ended later that morning when Hoskins shot himself dead while on the phone with SWAT negotiators Green was awarded a Peabody Award for her handling of this situation She later married anchor and then news director Al Schottelkotte The two remained married until his death in 1996 Digital television The station s digital signal VHF 10 is multiplexed Digital channels Channel Programming 9 1 main WCPO TV ABC programming 9 2 Weather Tracker Subchannel 9 2 carries the same 24 hour local weather programming as the Weather Tracker channel on many local cable systems Post analog shutdown After the analog television shutdown occurred on June 12 2009 WCPO DT remained on its pre transition channel number 10 However since many viewers had reception issues after the digital transition even with an increase of power just weeks after the transition the station has filed a Petition for Rulemaking to abandon VHF Channel 10 and move to UHF Channel 22 On October 7 2009 the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for WCPO TV which gives the public 25 days to comment on the proposed channel change On December 10 2009 the FCC issued a Report Order approving WCPO s move from Channel 10 to 22 On January 19 2010 WCPO filed a minor change application for a construction permit for their new allotment Programming All Scripps Howard owned ABC affiliates including WCPO preempted Saving Private Ryan in 2004 WCPO produced The Uncle Al Show a children s show that ran from the early 1950s to the mid 1980s Beginning in the early 60s WCPO was the undisputed leader in local newscasts led by anchor and news director Al Schottelkotte and remained Cincinnati s news leader for over 20 years News Operation In recent years WCPO and WKRC have been battling each other for first place in the local television viewership ratings while NBC affiliate WLWT has been lagging behind in third or fourth place Typically WCPO leads the evening news race while WKRC TV leads in mornings and late nights Consumer reporter John Matarese s reports have been syndicated to nine other stations five of which are Scripps owned since 2003 High definition newscast WCPO launched its high definition newscast on Sunday August 19 2007 at 6 00 PM ET Improvements around the station include upgraded weather graphics that match WHIO TV s upgrade see above new panel displays on set to replace rear projection CRT monitors on set and old plasma displays with obvious burn in and Scripps purchasing JVC HDPro equipment for WCPO Currently the studio cameras are HD while live field reports are SD widescreen WCPO broadcasts local news in 720p HDTV which is the same HD format as ABC programming 2007 Controversy On March 7 2007 at 5 45 AM morning anchor David Rose was pulled off the air for slurring his words He was let go three weeks later Weather WCPO s forecasters are chief meteorologist Steve Raleigh and meteorologists Larry Handley Steve Norris and Cyndee O Quinn Cincinnati has always been a battleground for weather coverage especially since the Montgomery Blue Ash tornado of 1999 WCPO bills their radar as Ultimate Doppler 9 VIPIR 9 and TrueView Their main radar in Batavia is one of the fastest radars in the nation with an update usually every ten seconds On July 1 2003 WCPO began to operate a second Doppler weather radar out of the Clermont County Airport in Batavia In combination with the radar located at WCPO s transmission tower site both radars were named Ultimate Doppler Radar The new radar operates at a height of 100 ft with its base 834 ft above sea level Currently only the Batavia radar is used even when attenuation at the site leaves a radius around the radar blank The old radar at the transmission site is no longer used In July 2007 WCPO showed its new capability of placing actual satellite images such as those from Google Earth on the ground rather than just the green topo map This helps the meteorologists at the station by showing them exactly where it s raining in relation to streets buildings ballfields etc The TrueView system allows for local and nationwide radar sweeps During local sweeps National Weather Service NEXRAD radars in Wilmington Ohio Indianapolis Indiana and Louisville Kentucky are used The VIPIR 9 technology also utilizes the NEXRAD radars and Ultimate Doppler 9 to create its 3D images
