WSYX TV 6 is a TV station in Columbus, Ohio, USA covering ABC network programs, local news and weather.
WSYX TV 6 is an affiliate of the ABC Television Network.
WSYX TV 6 began broadcasting on August 30, 1949 as WTVN-TV. It was owned by Picture Waves Inc., a company controlled by Toledo-based attorney and investor Edward Lamb. In February 1953, Picture Waves sold WTVN to the Cincinnati-based Taft Broadcasting Company. In 1987, Cincinnati financier Carl Lindner acquired a majority of Taft's shares in a hostile takeover, renaming the company Great American Broadcasting. However, as the FCC considered the restructuring as an ownership change, WTVN-TV lost its grandfathered protection and could not be retained by Great American. A group of former Taft Broadcasting shareholders, led by Texas millionaire Robert Bass (who also participated in the hostile takeover), purchased WTVN-TV for their new company, called Anchor Media. The sale closed on August 31, 1987, and the new owners renamed the station WSYX. Anchor Media was purchased by River City Broadcasting in 1993. River City was merged into the Sinclair Broadcast Group in 1996.
This TV station is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc..
