WOIO (channel nineteen) is a tv set station licensed to Shaker Heights, Ohio, United States, serving the Cleveland area every bit an affiliate of CBS. Information technology is owned by Grayness Television alongside Lorain-licensed CW affiliate WUAB (channel 43) and 2 low-power stations: Telemundo chapter WTCL-LP (channel half-dozen) and Canton-licensed WOHZ-CD (aqueduct 19/43), which serves as a repeater for WOIO and WUAB to cover the southern part of the market place.

The stations share studios on the ground flooring of the Reserve Square building in Downtown Cleveland; WOIO and WUAB also share transmitter facilities in the West Creek Reservation in Parma, Ohio.

History [edit]

Early history of UHF channel xix in Cleveland [edit]

The UHF channel nineteen allocation in the Cleveland telly market dates back to the 1950s, when The Apparently Dealer was granted a construction permit to build and license to operate a new television station on UHF channel nineteen for a goggle box sister to local radio station WHK (1420 AM). When WHK was sold to Metropolitan Dissemination (later Metromedia) in 1958, the construction allow for what was to have been WHK-Tv was surrendered to the FCC. Even so, the aqueduct 19 allocation remained.

On May 22, 1968, a new construction permit was issued to Community Telecasters of Cleveland Inc. for a new station with the call messages WCTF-TV. The express programming available and the rising cost of building WCTF kept delaying plans and the sign on date for the station. In August 1972, an agreement was made to sell the construction permit to Joseph T. Zingale. Zingale backed out of the agreement in February 1974 due to a price dispute. In January 1975, United Artists Broadcasting tried to buy the permit and motility WUAB to aqueduct 19, but Zingale filed a protest claiming that Community Telecasters still held the structure permit. In May 1976, the FCC took the WCTF-Goggle box permit away from Community Telecasters during a review board. Zingale then tried to acquire the license for WCTF, but the dispute eventually caused the construction permit to be deleted by the FCC.[1] [2]

As an independent station [edit]

The history of WOIO traces to ii groups that competed for approving past the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit to build and license to operate a new television station on UHF aqueduct 19. Cleveland Television receiver Corp. (a group led past Aben Due east. Johnson Jr. and Clifford Beresh, who respectively served as president and bulk stockholder, and sales managing director at WXON [now WMYD-Television] in Detroit) filed the initial application on November 18, 1977.[3] Later, in 1978, Diamond Broadcasting Inc. (a group led by Hubert B. Payne, a former local sales manager at NBC owned-and-operated station WKYC-TV (channel 3, now an NBC chapter) who was the first African-American local sales manager at a local network affiliate, and William Derrick), and Metroplex Communications (owned by Robert Weiss and Norman Wein) filed competing applications. In early on 1980, Cleveland-based Malrite Broadcasting Co. (owned by media executive Milton Maltz, and which owned local radio stations WHK and WMMS (100.seven FM) as well as Cincinnati's WXIX-TV) approached the Payne group about an offering in which Malrite would own not-controlling, non-voting preferred stock (with the voting interest being divided between the principals of the let), under an FCC waiver for broadcasters that provider substantial financing for a minority-controlled station; Malrite's master shareholders would also supply one-third of the capital letter equity in the station.[four] The FCC awarded the permit and license for channel 19 to the Malrite/Diamond/Metroplex group (doing business as Channel xix Inc.) in 1983.

WOIO's original logo used from 1985 until 1995. A Fox logo - placed to the left of the regular logo - was added from 1986 to 1994 (when it was a Fox affiliate), and the CBS "Eye" was added during its early days equally a CBS affiliate (1994-1995).

WOIO – its call letters continuing for the station'due south home state of Ohio – first signed on for the air on May xix, 1985. (Prior to that time, the WOIO telephone call letters were assigned to a radio station on 1060 AM [now WILB] in Canton.)[v] [6] Originally operating as an independent station, the station maintained a programming lineup typical of an independent, consisting of off-network sitcoms, classic movies, off-network drama serial and religious programs. The station identified as "WOIO xix" (often referred to every bit simply "nineteen" in station promotions), with the "nineteen" spelled out visually and rendered in script font. (The station revised its moniker to "Fox nineteen" past 1988, as that network began requiring affiliates to include the Fox proper noun in their local branding.)

WOIO was the third independent station to operate in the Cleveland market. Its primary competitors were WUAB (channel 43, at present a CW affiliate), which signed on the air on September fifteen, 1968, and WCLQ (channel 61, at present Univision owned-and-operated station WQHS-DT), which signed on March 3, 1981; WOIO gained a 4th competitor when WBNX-TV (channel 55) signed on the air on Dec i, 1985. That autumn, WOIO began carrying animated series and drawing showcases on Monday through Sat mornings and on weekday late afternoons. By the end of 1985, channel 19 had surpassed WCLQ every bit the market's second highest-rated independent station, falling behind WUAB.

In early 1986, Malrite Communications Group purchased the 51% controlling stock interest in WOIO from the principals of Diamond Broadcasting and Metroplex Communications for $i.2 1000000. Malrite as well retained ownership of WHK and WMMS under an exception to FCC rules prohibiting mutual buying of television and radio stations under the bureau'south "one-to-a-market dominion," which immune such combinations that involved a UHF station.[7]

Flim-flam affiliation [edit]

WOIO became a charter affiliate of the Fox when the fledgling network inaugurated programming on October 9, 1986; WUAB—despite its condition every bit one of the strongest independent stations in the land—turned down an offer to become an chapter because its status equally a regional superstation fabricated it unattractive for then-owner Gaylord Broadcasting to sign with the network, as most of the markets located within WUAB's cable television footprint had enough commercial stations for Fox to maintain a local chapter. Though it was technically a network chapter, Channel 19 continued to be programmed every bit a de facto contained station. Even after the network's programming expanded with the launch of a 3-hr Sun night lineup in April 1987, Fox offered prime number time programs exclusively on weekends until September 1989, when information technology began a five-year expansion towards a nightly prime number time schedule (Fox would not air prime time programs on all seven nights of the week until Jan 1993). WOIO continued to air a movie at 8:00 p.m. on nights when network programs did not air.

Soon afterward, it became the over-the-air flagship of the Cleveland Cavaliers—a human relationship that connected for six years—and too carried Cleveland Browns preseason games (along with other team-produced programming, notably the weekly show Browns Insider), Cleveland Force MISL indoor soccer and Cleveland State Vikings higher basketball. It as well appeared on cable providers in the Youngstown marketplace, which did non have a Fox affiliate of its ain until WYFX-LP signed on in 1998; WOIO continues to be carried on cable in that market to this day.

CBS amalgamation [edit]

On May 23, 1994, Fox network parent News Corporation and New World Communications signed a long-term affiliation understanding in which thirteen television set stations affiliated with either CBS, ABC or NBC (five that New Earth had already owned, and eight that the company was in the procedure of acquiring through separate deals with Great American Communications and Argyle Television Holdings) would switch to Flim-flam. WJW-Television (aqueduct 8) – which had served equally Cleveland'southward CBS affiliate since March 1955 – was among the New Globe stations slated to join Fox as role of the group affiliation bargain in one case individual contracts with each of the stations' existing affiliated networks expired. Trick wanted to upgrade affiliates in certain markets in response to its acquisition of the National Football game Conference's broadcast television rights, which had been carried past CBS for the previous 38 years, starting with the 1994 NFL season.[viii] [nine] [10] [11]

1999-2001 logo used during the menses WOIO and WUAB jointly used the "Domicile Squad" branding.

With WJW's CBS network contract set to expire on or before long later September ane, 1994, the Fox-New Earth deal gave CBS merely a five-month window to observe a replacement for WJW-Television equally its Cleveland affiliate (past comparison, depending on the station, the amalgamation contracts of other New World stations named to bring together Fob did non expire until betwixt Dec 1994 and September 1996, depending on the term of their agreements with CBS, NBC or ABC). The agreement with New World concerned CBS executives, as New World planned to switch several stronger-performing CBS affiliates in other markets to Fox, which would force the network to sign with either a former Play tricks affiliate or a lower-profile independent station, equally many of the Big Three stations and—with the exception of those in Dallas–Fort Worth and Phoenix—some college-rated independents information technology approached rejected offers to bring together CBS due to its faltering ratings and the older-skewing programming slate it had at the time. To forbid such a situation from happening in Cleveland, CBS approached Scripps-Howard Dissemination to lure ABC chapter WEWS (aqueduct 5) to switch to the network. The threat of Scripps-Howard moving WEWS (along with Detroit sister station WXYZ-Goggle box, which it also courted to replace young man outgoing CBS chapter WJBK-TV) to CBS prompted them to sign a ten-year agreement with ABC on June sixteen, 1994, in which the group renewed its affiliation contracts with WEWS and WXYZ and agreed to switch three other stations to the network.[12] [13] [14] [15]

In June 1994, Malrite had entered into a local marketing agreement with then-WUAB owner Cannell Communications, under which WUAB assumed responsibility for providing product, advertising and promotional services and principal control operations for channel xix. Both stations moved to facilities located at the first floor of the Reserve Square apartment/hotel complex on East 12th Street in downtown Cleveland. The area currently occupied by the WOIO/WUAB newsroom and the soundstage housing the stations' news set was once occupied past a movie house for the Reserve Foursquare Apartments, which began performance when the facility opened as the Park Centre Apartments in 1973 and was closed in 1978 after the Park Theater's ownership sold the leased space; the former theater was gutted and renovated in grooming for WOIO/WUAB'south relocation into Reserve Square and the expansion of WUAB'south news department to include newscasts for WOIO.[xvi]

On July viii, CBS reached an understanding with Malrite Communications to move its programming to WOIO, originally slated to take result August 29. The fact that the LMA with WUAB resulted in WOIO being tied to the but Cleveland station not affiliated with any of the "Big Three" networks that had a performance news department played a factor in CBS's decision to sign an amalgamation agreement with the soon-to-be-former Pull a fast one on chapter.[17] WOIO became the Cleveland marketplace's CBS affiliate on September 3, 1994; WJW-Tv concurrently switched to Fox, ending its affiliation with CBS after 40 years and condign the first New Globe station to switch to Fob under the group's understanding with that network.[15] As a effect of the affiliation swap, Channel 19 moved nigh of its recent off-network and get-go-run syndicated sitcoms and syndicated blithe serial to WUAB, which also assumed the local over-the-air tv rights to the Cavaliers every bit WOIO's switch to CBS (which maintains a network-dominated plan schedule) left channel 19 without enough room on its schedule to continue airing the NBA team's game broadcasts. The Fox Kids block moved instead to independent station WBNX-Tv set (aqueduct 55) as WJW, similar most of the New World stations affected past the Pull a fast one on affiliation understanding, declined carriage of the block to focus on its news-intensive programme schedule; WBNX also picked up the local rights to some of the older sitcoms then in WOIO'due south inventory that WUAB lacked room for on its schedule. The kickoff CBS program to air on WOIO was Marsupilami at eight:00 a.m. Eastern Time on September three, 1994.[ citation needed ]

On Apr 6, 1998, Raycom Media announced that information technology would larn Malrite Communications for an undisclosed price; the LMA with WUAB was included in the deal. The auction was finalized six months subsequently on September 17.[18] [19] In September 1999, WOIO and WUAB underwent a unified rebranding, adopting the respective brands "Hometeam nineteen" and "Hometeam 43".[20] The rebranding was intended to signify an emphasis on local news and sports coverage placed past both stations as well as play on the fact that at the time they carried all 3 of Cleveland'south major professional sports teams—Indians and Cavaliers games were carried on WUAB, with Browns games airing on WOIO by fashion of CBS' NFL rights (channel 19 has held the role as the Browns' unofficial 'habitation station' since their reactivation in 1999). On March 2, 2000, six months after the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) relaxed its local buying rules to permit common buying of two commercially licensed television stations in the same media marketplace, Raycom exercised an option to acquire the station outright from Cannell Communications; the sale was finalized two months afterward May 10.

In January 2001, Raycom hired controversial station manager Bill Applegate equally WOIO and WUAB's general manager; after in February 2002, WOIO and WUAB ditched the uniform "Hometeam" branding, with the former replacing it in favor of identifying as "Cleveland's CBS 19" for general promotional purposes and newscasts seen on both stations existence reformatted as nineteen Action News.[21] On August 24, 2015, equally role of a universal rebranding of WOIO and WUAB, channel 19 changed its branding to the compatible "Cleveland 19". (Concurrently, WUAB similarly rebranded as "CLE 43," with "C-L-E" spelled out audibly.)[22] [23]

Sale to Gray Television [edit]

On June 25, 2018, Atlanta-based Greyness Television appear it had reached an understanding with Raycom to merge their respective broadcasting avails (consisting of Raycom's 63 existing owned-and/or-operated idiot box stations, and Gray's 93 boob tube stations) under Grayness's corporate umbrella, in a cash-and-stock merger transaction valued at $3.6 billion.[24] [25] [26] [27] [28] The auction was canonical on December 20,[29] and was completed on Jan 2, 2019.[30] Upon completion of the deal (and non counting WWSB in Sarasota, Florida being part of the Tampa Bay market place), WOIO/WUAB became Grey's largest television stations past marketplace size (as it was for Raycom), a title formerly held past the company's Knoxville, Tennessee duopoly of fellow CBS chapter WVLT-TV and CW chapter WBXX-Tv set besides as having a new sister station in the nearby Toledo market, ABC affiliate WTVG (while separating it from fellow CBS chapter WTOL, which for regulatory purposes was sold to WKYC parent Tegna Inc.). Upon completion of Gray's acquisition of Meredith Corporation'southward broadcasting backdrop on December ane, 2021, WOIO/WUAB became Grayness's third largest, backside WGCL-Idiot box/WPCH-TV in Atlanta and KTVK/KPHO-Television in Phoenix. On September 22, 2021, WOIO announced the launch of a new sister station, WTCL, channel 6.1, which will serve as Cleveland'southward new Telemundo station for the region's growing Hispanic audition. The station began its Telemundo affiliation on Dec 22, 2021.[31]

Programming [edit]

WOIO currently carries the entire CBS network programming lineup. Syndicated programs broadcast on WOIO as of September 2020[update] include Jeopardy! and Bike of Fortune.[32]

Sports programming [edit]

Cleveland Browns [edit]

WOIO and the Cleveland Browns entered into a television partnership in April 2005—in outcome, resuming an agreement that ended with the original team's 1995 relocation to Baltimore. Replacing former longtime television partner WKYC-Goggle box, WOIO acquired the rights to air all preseason games equally well every bit a preseason typhoon evidence, exclusive grooming camp reports and a Mon dark coaches' show.

On July xviii, 2006, the Browns announced that the team was ending its partnership with WOIO,[33] the result of a controversy over the station's coverage of the drowning of team possessor Randy Lerner's six-year-old niece. On its newscasts, WOIO aired a 9-ane-1 recording of Nancy Fisher, Lerner's sister, calling for assistance. Although WOIO was inside its legal bounds to air the tape and information technology was public record under Ohio's laws regarding 911 telephone call audio, the Browns idea that it was an unnecessary invasion of the family'south privacy.[34] WOIO later filed a lawsuit against the Browns on July 26, 2006, alleging breach of contract and seeking to retain the circulate rights to Browns games every bit the agreement had 1 year left to run.[33] The Browns' contract with WOIO concluded on August 1, 2006; two days later.[35]

Nevertheless, WOIO—through CBS' AFC contract—has and continues to air the bulk of the Browns regular season games.

News operation [edit]

WOIO presently broadcasts 42 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with vii½ hours each weekday, two hours on Saturdays and 2½ hours on Sundays). It too produces an additional 14½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week for WUAB (with 2½ hours each weekday and one hour each on Saturdays and Sundays). Combined across both stations, WOIO produces a total of 56½ hours of newscasts each week.

News department history [edit]

Early years [edit]

WOIO originally had no intention to commencement a news department; all the same, CBS informed WOIO that it "preferred" that the station air newscasts. With just months before WJW was due to switch to Fox, at that place was niggling fourth dimension to course a total-scale news division from scratch. Instead, WOIO had LMA partner WUAB (which had been producing a 10:00 p.m. newscast since January 1988) produce its newscasts. WOIO began airing newsbriefs during CBS This Morning time with Julie Hanahan, WOIO'southward offset news employee, and Betty Haliburton. Early additions to the news staff were Emmett Miller, Denise Dufala (former longtime anchor at WJW); weeknight meteorologist Dave Sweeney; weeknight sports anchor Jeff Phelps; weekend co-anchors Gretchen Carlson and Dave Barker; weekend sports ballast Ronnie Duncan; and weekend meteorologist Julie Hanahan (sometime meteorologist at WJW).

WOIO started airing newscasts at half-dozen:00, 6:30, and 11:00 p.m. on February 5, 1995. The now-shared news operation of WOIO and WUAB became collectively known as Cleveland Television receiver News; both stations used similar graphics from Television set past Design and Jerome Gilmer's Prime News music package (with unlike signatures, WOIO's cuts having originated at sister station WXIX two years prior), but anchored from carve up sets (WOIO was situated within the newsroom, while WUAB used a smaller ready located elsewhere in the edifice). Romona Robinson and Jack Marschall remained as anchors for WUAB, maintaining their long history of ratings success at 10:00 p.m.; nonetheless, WUAB's ratings success with its prime fourth dimension newscast did non yet translate to WOIO'due south newly created 6:00 and 11:00 p.one thousand. newscasts. One of the first big stories aired on WOIO featured the "glasses cam", which Dave Barker used to bear witness how he could simply walk into a school without being stopped. In 1996, WOIO and WUAB dropped the Cleveland Boob tube News moniker; WOIO began identifying equally CBS 19 and titled its newscasts CBS xix News. WJW had been one of the strongest CBS affiliates in the country, and WOIO hoped that viewers would associate the network with a high-quality local newscast. Emmett Miller left and Gretchen Carlson joined Denise Dufala, creating a ii-adult female anchor team for its weeknight newscasts. This had rarely been tried in other markets effectually the nation and had never been tried in Cleveland at the time. It failed to catch on, and Carlson left WOIO, finding success after at the Fox News Channel. Later on that year, WOIO added a weekday morning newscast at 6:00 a.m. and pre-empted virtually of the first hr of CBS This Morn with local news; the station also added a noon newscast around the same fourth dimension. Still, WOIO failed to win viewers.

Too in 1997, WOIO tried to operate its news studio at street level and then pedestrians could meet the newscasts being taped (similar to what CHUM Limited tried out with its "NewNet" stations in the Canadian province of Ontario). The street-level studio concept did non concluding long in Cleveland, but today this concept is beingness used by Good Morning time America and Today, besides as several tv stations in larger markets.

After Carlson's departure, Kevin Cokely joined Denise Dufala at the anchor desk-bound for the 6:00 and xi:00 p.yard. newscasts. This lasted until 1999, when Jack Marschall was brought in to supersede Cokely, while still continuing to ballast the 10:00 p.m. news on WUAB with Cynthia Tinsley. Several months after in February 2000, WOIO's newscasts were rebranded as Hometeam 19 News and introduced a new look that coincided with Raycom'south takeover of WOIO and WUAB. Afterward WUAB lost the broadcast rights to the Cleveland Indians in 2001, the Hometeam branding was dropped and WOIO'due south newscasts were simply known as 19 News. Because of the connected low ratings, Beak Applegate was brought in as general manager, who would make sweeping changes at WOIO and WUAB over the next several months.[21]

xix Activeness News [edit]

WOIO's xix Action News logo, used from 2002 to Baronial 24, 2015; the version shown above was used from 2014 to 2015.

In May 2002, WOIO and WUAB's newscasts were uniformly re-branded every bit xix Action News. A popular press format was put into place, using Shelly Palmer's Palmer News Package, a theme based on the musical signature used and adapted by fellow CBS station WBBM-TV in Chicago (a station that Applegate managed in the 1980s; incidentally plenty, WBBM never used that specific theme). The pacing, the look, the style and the linguistic communication of each newscast took on a dramatically dissimilar look and feel. Soon subsequently, the newscasts on both WOIO and WUAB would officially be retitled to xix Action News. Ratings improved most immediately, especially at 11:00 p.thou., where that newscast became the merely late news program to gain viewers four years in a row, equally WKYC, WEWS and WJW's late newscasts either remained apartment or lost viewers.[five] The station added an hour-long newscast at 5:00 p.m. in 2002, joining WEWS and WJW's late afternoon newscasts for a three-way contest for 2d place in the time slot at the time (every bit WKYC's airing of Dr. Phil (which premiered in 2002) at 5:00 p.m. had long been in outset place until recently). In June 2004, WOIO debuted Cleveland's first 4:00 p.m. newscast. It premiered in terminal place, but began to grow steadily and eventually fought for second place with WJW's Judge Judy (which that station bumped in favor of its ain four:00 p.1000. newscast in July 2013), but still trailed WEWS' The Oprah Winfrey Show at that hour (Winfrey's program ended in 2011).

WOIO'due south 11:00 p.chiliad. newscast mounted a serious challenge to WKYC that began in 2004 and had success in marginally overtaking WKYC once in 2008. In recent years the 11:00 p.m. news race in the Cleveland area has been highly competitive, with WOIO taking part in this spirited competition; frequently, no more than one ratings share point separates beginning identify from tertiary identify among the three newscasts which air in that time slot (to the point where all three stations have claimed victory in unlike demographics at various points within the past year[ when? ]).[21] Nonetheless, WOIO'due south newscasts oft terminate at a afar 3rd or in 4th place in most other dayparts (though it has won the noon time slot in recent[ when? ] ratings periods due to the lead in of The Toll Is Right hosted by Cleveland native Drew Carey).[5] [36]

The theme music used for the newscasts beginning in 2005 was from "The CBS Enforcer Music Collection", a package past Gari Music created for the CBS endemic-and-operated station grouping which besides has its roots with WBBM-TV's signature tune, based on an sometime folk vocal, "I Beloved Chicago, Chicago My Home".

Tabloid style [edit]

After 2002 when the 19 Activity News branding was implemented, WOIO adult a reputation in the Cleveland marketplace for having a "tabloid" news format, viewed at times as going to extremes in order to cover news and generate publicity.[21] [37] [38] Examples include:

  • In early on 2004, Spencer Tunick, a lensman known for taking pictures of large groups of naked people, came to Cleveland. Then-WOIO anchor Sharon Reed (regarded by many viewers equally very attractive) was asked by news director Steve Doerr to participate in the projection for a outset-hand account of the experience. The idea for the story was the brainchild of general director Nib Applegate. Several other media outlets participated in the same way, including The Plain Dealer and Cleveland Magazine. The market's other news stations also covered the event. WOIO shot video of "News Babe" Reed getting up in the morning, going to the event, getting undressed and finally nude shots of her from behind. The story chosen "Trunk of Art" aired in the November sweeps flow after beingness promoted heavily with promos that contained a "viewer discretion advisory". WOIO insisted that the story was supposed to make viewers question whether Tunick'south body of work is art or "something else". On the night the story aired, WOIO received its highest ratings ever. The story also gave Reed and WOIO national attending as she was invited to defend the slice on Pull a fast one on News and on the Late Show with David Letterman.[39]
  • In May 2005, WOIO made somewhat of a controversial move by hiring anchor-reporter Catherine Bosley, who had just recently resigned from her previous task at WKBN-TV in Youngstown, Ohio, after making national news past nude pictures of her from a wet T-shirt contest she had participated in while on vacation in Cardinal West leaking online. This had been preceded by an interview done in February 2005 with Sharon Reed recalling the incident. The hire had been derided by some as the station merely bringing Bosley in to cash in on the notoriety from her nude pictures, a claim denied by station direction.[forty]
  • In the winter of 2012, the "circus like atmosphere" and explicit testimony at the Cuyahoga County corruption trial inspired the staff of the station to recreate give-and-take-for-word testimony using puppets. This was due to the fact that as a federal example, cameras were non allowed in the courtroom. The utilize of puppets on the nightly newscasts rapidly gained national attention.[38] [41] [42]
  • On December 30, 2013, at the printing conference with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Imprint discussing the firing of caput coach Rob Chudzinski after only 1 flavour, WOIO news reporter Dan DeRoos had read aloud several posts from Browns fans on the station's Facebook page questioning Browns management on the firing. DeRoos so asked the question (quoting from one of the posts), "How do you convince Browns fans that the Three Stooges aren't running this organisation?" This caused an aural murmur in the interview room, and was highlighted in national stories about the firing.[43] [44]
High definition [edit]

WOIO began to broadcast its newscasts in high definition on October 21, 2007, with the station's 6:30 p.g. newscast, making the Cleveland market place the first in the nation to accept all of its Big Four affiliates broadcasting news in the format. The 10:00 p.m. newscast on WUAB also broadcasts in HD, though in 720p (originally due to MyNetworkTV's default resolution, and remaining as such after WUAB moved to a channel share of WOIO'due south bandwidth), while Action News programs on WOIO air in CBS' 1080i format.

Cleveland 19 News [edit]

Although elements of the tabloid-manner news format remained, in 2012, WOIO began shifting towards a more than traditional newscast format. Under vice president-general director Dominic Mancuso and news director Fred D'Ambrosi (who was hired by the station in March 2015), the station decided to completely overhaul the tone of its newscasts.

On Baronial xix, 2015, WOIO announced that information technology would rebrand its newscasts equally Cleveland nineteen News. In describing the change to a more conventional format for its newscasts, Mancuso cited that while the Action News format was "attention-getting" albeit "more about the brand and the presentation," the alter toward a traditional news format would identify more of an emphasis "about the stories, with less of the hyperbole," although it would retain an emphasis on investigative journalism that was expanded upon past the news department during the Activity News era. The rebranding and format change officially debuted on August 24, 2015, beginning with WOIO'due south noon newscast; the station also implemented a standardized graphics package for the Raycom stations that originated on Wilmington sister station WECT in Dec 2014, and adopted "This is the Place" past Stephen Arnold Music equally the theme for its newscasts.[22] [45]

19 News [edit]

logo under the "xix News" branding

Technical data [edit]

Subchannels [edit]

The station'due south digital signal is multiplexed:

Channel Video Aspect Short proper name Programming[49]
19.ane 1080i sixteen:9 WOIO-DT Main WOIO programming / CBS
nineteen.2 480i MeTV MeTV / MyNetworkTV
xix.3 DABL Dabl
19.four Rewind Rewind TV

On August 1, 2011, WOIO became the Cleveland affiliate of the classic TV network MeTV, which is carried on digital subchannel xix.ii; that subchannel had previously operated as "Weather Now", consisting of a 24-hour loop of weather forecasts and local radar. 19.ii is also carried on some northeast Ohio cable providers.

On January 29, 2019, WOIO-DT2 quietly began to carry MyNetworkTV during belatedly night hours, without public notice (WUAB had carried the network from its 2006 launch until that day).[50]

In December 2019, 19.3 was activated with a "coming presently" slide with no information about what would air on the subchannel. After a couple of months passed, Dabl – a Paramount Global–endemic lifestyle network featuring cooking and domicile décor oriented shows – would eventually debut on February 24, 2020.[51]

In May 2021, nineteen.4 was activated, ambulation Shop LC programming. On September 1, 2021, nineteen.four switched to Rewind TV.

nineteen.2 occasionally airs CBS network programs whenever 19.1 is unable to in the event of extended breaking news or severe weather coverage, special programming, or other scheduling conflicts.

Analog-to-digital conversion [edit]

WOIO shut down its analog bespeak, over UHF aqueduct 19, on June 12, 2009, the official engagement in which total-power television stations in the U.s.a. transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station'southward digital signal continued to broadcasts on its pre-transition VHF channel x.[52] Through the utilise of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 19.

WOIO operates a digital fill-in translator station in Akron on UHF channel 24,[53] which began operating on August 12, 2011. The translator serves the south-primal portion of the Cleveland market where viewers lost WOIO's signal after the June 2009 digital transition. Cleveland'south west side suburbs still cannot receive this channel reliably to this day.

The channel ten digital bespeak causes co-channel interference with CTV 2 endemic-and-operated station CFPL-DT (channel ten) in London, Ontario during temperature inversion and tropo skip events. On October 22, 2009, WOIO additional its effective radiated power to 9.5 kW.

Coverage in Canada [edit]

The station is available over-the-air in Kingsville, Leamington and Pelee Island in southern Essex County, Ontario and was one time listed in the Boob tube Guide edition for those communities (and Windsor, Ontario until 2000 though the station'due south betoken was not strong enough to reach Windsor and Detroit). Unlike WKYC, WEWS and WJW, information technology was not one of the Cleveland stations carried on local cable providers in those three locations. WOIO is available on cable in St. Thomas and was briefly available on the digital tier in London in early 2005.
