Supposed.

Using the search facility at

returns no record before 1979 under the item

and no record before 2001 under the item

? Has the station always had the same call letters?

To the best of my knowledge since it went on air in 1955, it
has always been WTVS


I used to have no problem finding old records, but it looks like they
have 'downsized' the database. I can't even find the TV station I built
in Destin, Florida. That was around 1989m on Ch 58 with the call of
WMRX.
