 PBRTV - Pittsburgh Area Radio/TV Mailbag
KYW in Philly and WBZ in Boston were both NBC stations before hand.
Come to think of it, right now, KYW and KQV have the same slogan: "Give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world." Also, despite the fact that KDKA Radio is the number one station in Pittsburgh, don't be surprised if WPGB takes over down the road.
Images of the Pittsburgh area were flashed in rapid succession, including a paper boy delivering a newspaper from his bicycle in a residential area (from interesting angle that included a rising or setting sun), a trolley shot from a couple of angles, and an aerial shot of Three Rivers Stadium.

 A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
WRCV 1060 and WRCV-TV 3 thus became KYW 1060 and KYW-TV 3, and Westinghouse took control of a channel 3 facility in Roxborough that was far superior to the old Wyndmoor facility it had given up nine years earlier.
In order to accommodate their new digital TV signals, channel 6 (now owned and operated by ABC) and channel 3 (now CBS owned-and-operated KYW-TV) again joined forces to build a new tower and transmitter building.
By the late 1950s, all of Philadelphia's TV stations were looking for increased tower height to serve a market that was growing to include the Lehigh Valley, northern Delaware and all of south Jersey - and that's when Annenberg got a new tenant at Roxborough.

 A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
Since Westinghouse and CBS both owned TV stations in Philadelphia, one would have to go - and the choice was to keep Westinghouse's KYW-TV, flip it from NBC to CBS, and sell off CBS' WCAU-TV.
But later that year, CBS merged its TV station operations with Westinghouse (which would then go on to acquire CBS), forcing a decision to be made.
When we first visited Roxborough in 1995, WCAU's status quo had held for nearly forty years - it was owned by CBS and operated its FM and TV signals from the 1950s Dresser-Crane tower and the original brick transmitter building shown at left.
