WSES

WSES is a television station licensed to Tuscaloosa, Alabama and an affiliate of Heroes & Icons. The station is owned by Howard Stirk Holdings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fcc.gov/blog/making-good-promise-independent-minority-ownership-television-stations )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2014/db1209/DOC-330861A2.txt )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.almediapage.info/ )〕 The company also owns WGWW (channel 40) in Anniston.
==History==
WSES first signed on the air in October 1965 as WCFT-TV, broadcasting on UHF channel 33, becoming the first television station in western Alabama. The original licensee, Chapman Family Television (for which the station's callsign was taken from), was a consortium of eight Tuscaloosa businessmen who saw the benefits of a television station, in both business and community service. WCFT began as an independent station, but because it did not return a profit suitable to the original owners, Chapman Family Television sold the station to Hattiesburg, Mississippi-based Service Broadcasters in 1967. The new owners rejuvenated WCFT by heavily investing in the station, purchasing new equipment and improving the station's image.
Like WBMG-TV (channel 42, now WIAT) in Birmingham, WCFT picked up CBS and NBC programs that were not cleared for broadcast by WAPI-TV (channel 13, now WVTM-TV) during channel 33's first few years. In 1970, WCFT became an exclusive CBS affiliate, as did WBMG (and, in eastern Alabama, WHMA-TV channel 40, which eventually became WJSU-TV). Even though Tuscaloosa is less than one hour to the southwest of Birmingham, CBS opted to retain its affiliation with WCFT because channel 42's signal was severely weak at the time. WBMG barely covered Tuscaloosa even though that city is only 45 minutes west of Birmingham, even with a power increase to 1.2 million watts in 1969. As such, many cable providers in the western part of the market opted to carry WCFT instead. WCFT regularly trounced WBMG in that portion of the market, and unlike WBMG, was often competitive with WBRC-TV (channel 6) and WAPI/WVTM, especially with its local newscasts that focused almost exclusively on western Alabama.
In 1977, Arbitron broke off Tuscaloosa into its own television market, ranking below number 170. Service Broadcasters sold WCFT to Allbritton Communications in 1995.〔(WCFT Info )〕〔(Other WCFT Info )〕
