W8XCT / WLW Stations |
||||||
|
Crosley Broadcasting, located in Cincinnati and operator of radio station WLW, experimented with television before the war. Here are some newspaper articles about W8XCT. It is unclear whether the station ever went on the air. However, Crosley did have an experimental studio. See also the 1939 RCA television demonstration in Cincinnati.
After World War Two, Crosley started the WLW stations, including WLW Cincinnati, WLWD Dayton, and WLWC Columbus. A private microwave network was built in 1949 to interconnect the three stations. Later, other stations were built by Crosley.
