WYFF

WYFF, virtual channel 4 (UHF digital channel 36), is an NBC-affiliated television station located in Greenville, South Carolina, United States. The station is owned by the Hearst Television subsidiary of the Hearst Corporation. WYFF maintains studio facilities located on Rutherford Street (west of Route 276) in northwest Greenville, and its transmitter is located near Caesars Head State Park in northwestern Greenville County.
==History==
The station first signed on the air on December 31, 1953〔Huff, Jr., Archie Vernon, ''Greenville: The History of the City and County in the South Carolina Piedmont'', University of South Carolina Press, Columbia, S.C., 1995, Library of Congress card number 95-4363, ISBN 1-57003-045-6, page 391.〕 as WFBC-TV; it was the fifth television station to sign on in South Carolina, and transmitted its signal from a tower located on Paris Mountain. The station was founded by the News-Piedmont Publishing Company (owned by the Peace family), publishers of local newspapers ''The Greenville News'' and ''The Greenville Piedmont'' and owners of WFBC radio (1330 AM, now WYRD, and 93.7 FM). For its first two years on the air, the station operated from studio facilities located on Paris Mountain before moving to its current location on Rutherford Street in 1955. Norvin Duncan was the station's first news anchor, moving from the sister AM radio station.
One of the station's popular children's programs was ''Monty's Rascals'', debuting in 1960, hosted by Monty DuPuy and Stowe Hoyle as Mr. Doohickey (wearing a hat with an old Santa's beard), both of whom served as weathermen at channel 4. The program continued as ''The Rascal's Clubhouse'' after DuPuy's departure in 1978 and continued until 1982; Hoyle retired two years later. An earlier version of the program, ''Kids Korral'', was hosted by Johnny Wright.
The station began to transmit locally produced programming in color in February 1967. In 1968, the News-Piedmont Publishing Company merged with Southern Broadcasting to form Multimedia, Inc., with WFBC-AM-FM-TV as the company's flagship stations. In the mid-1970s, the station implemented the well-known "Arrow 4" as its logo, which was used in one form or another for many years until 1991.
In 1983, due to new rules set by the Federal Communications Commission restricting common ownership of newspapers and broadcasting outlets in the same market, Multimedia sold off the WFBC stations. In an unusual trade of one group's flagship station for another, WFBC-TV was traded to the Pulitzer Publishing Company in exchange for KSDK in St. Louis. On March 3, the station changed its call letters to WYFF-TV (standing for its slogan "We're Your Friend Four," which was used from 1979 to 1991). Pulitzer also acquired WXII-TV in Winston-Salem, North Carolina as part of the same deal. Although Pulitzer closed on its purchase of WXII later in the year, the acquisition of WYFF would not be finalized for another two years until January 1985, as Pulitzer had to sell off WLNE-TV in Providence in order to comply with FCC ownership limits of the time that limited the number of stations one company can own to twelve; in the interim, Pulitzer took over the operations of WYFF through a time brokerage agreement with Multimedia.
WYFF 4 became the first television station in the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market to begin broadcasting on a 24-hour daily schedule in the fall of 1988. It ran NBC's early morning news program ''NBC News Overnight'' (later replaced by ''Nightside'' in 1991), and simulcasts of the Home Shopping Spree and CNN Headline News during the overnight hours around this time. The Home Shopping Spree simulcast was dropped in the mid-1990s with the CNN Headline News simulcast being discontinued in 2005 (as the channel transitioned from its news wheel format into a combination of discussion programs at night and rolling news programming during the day), in favor of a mix of NBC late night shows, drama reruns, lifestyle programs and paid programming during the overnight hours. In 1999 Hearst-Argyle bought Pulitzer's entire television division, including WYFF-TV.
