Capital Cities Communications
Capital Cities Communications (sometimes referred to as "CapCities") was an American media company best known for its surprise purchase of the much larger American Broadcasting Company in 1985 and became Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. Its successor is Disney-ABC Television Group, a unit of the Walt Disney Company, which purchased CapCities in 1996.
==History==
Capital Cities' operations are traced to 1947, when the Hudson Valley Broadcasting Company〔(ABC, INC. ) Selected Entity Name: CAPITAL CITIES COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Entity Information. NYS Department of State: Division of Corporations.〕 launched WROW radio in Albany, New York. In October 1953, it opened the Albany-Schenectady-Troy area's second television station, WROW-TV on channel 41. In the late fall of 1954, a group of New York City-based investors, led by radio broadcaster and author Lowell Thomas, bought majority control of Hudson Valley Broadcasting.
In 1957, WROW-TV moved from channel 41 to channel 10 and became WCDA. That same year, Hudson Valley Broadcasting merged with Durham Broadcasting Enterprises, the owners of WTVD television in Durham, North Carolina.〔("This week's receipts: $26 million." ) ''Broadcasting - Telecasting'', April 8, 1957, pp. 31-(32 ).〕 The new company took the name Capital Cities Television Corporation effective November 8, 1957,〔 as both WCDA (now WTEN) and WTVD served the capital regions of their respective states. Capital Cities then began purchasing stations, starting with WPRO-AM-FM-TV in Providence, Rhode Island (another capital city) in 1959.〔("Providence stations sold." ) ''Broadcasting'', December 22, 1958, pg. 9.〕 On December 23, 1959, the company's name was changed to Capital Cities Broadcasting.〔
