Cincinnati, Ohio ,
USA , affiliated with the
ABC network. It broadcasts on channel 9 and operates
High-definition Television channel 9.1. WCPO's studio is located in the Mount Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati, just outside of Eden Park. Its transmitter is also located in Cincinnati. The station is currently the flagship station of
The E. W. Scripps Company , which owns it along with the
Cincinnati Post .
The station first signed on the air on
July 26 ,
1949 ABC affiliate. It also carried programming from the
DuMont Television Network . The call letters came from the Post, who also owned WCPO-AM. It switched to
CBS in
1961 , swapping affiliations with
WKRC-TV .
The station switched back to ABC in June
1996 , as a result of a corporate affiliation deal between Scripps and ABC (which also saw several other Scripps stations becoming ABC affiliates). The other Scripps stations which were part of the affiliation deal had switched to ABC throughout
1994 and
1995 , but WCPO had to wait for WKRC's affiliation contract with ABC to expire at the end of May 1996 before finally switching. The CBS affiliation returned to WKRC.
