WTLV
WTLV, virtual channel 12 (VHF digital channel 13), is an NBC-affiliated television station located in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. The station is owned by Tegna, Inc., as part of a duopoly with ABC affiliate WJXX (channel 25). The two stations share studio facilities located on East Adams Street (near EverBank Field) in downtown Jacksonville; WTLV maintains transmitter facilities located on Eve Drive in the city's Kilarney Shores section.
==History==
The station first signed on the air on September 1, 1957 as WFGA-TV (which stood for "We're Florida and GeorgiA"). Founded by the Florida-Georgia Television Company, it was originally a primary NBC affiliate with a secondary affiliation with ABC. It was the first television station in the United States that was designed for color broadcasting, and many of the country's color commercials were filmed at the station. Two years later, WFGA donated tower space, money and transmitting facilities to the market's National Educational Television member station WJCT (channel 7, now a PBS member station). In 1958, WFGA was selected "Newsfilm Station of the Year" by the National Press Photographers Association.〔(WTLV and WJXX station histories )〕
On October 11, 1958, channel 12 became the first television station to air a live launch from Cape Canaveral – Thor-Able's successful launch of the Pioneer I lunar probe. The station also provided the remote facilities, and supplied video and audio for all three major networks (ABC, NBC and CBS). This earned WFGA-TV the exclusive spot for NBC's space coverage. WFGA lost the ABC affiliation to WJKS (channel 17, later WJWB and now CW affiliate WCWJ), when it signed on September 1966; as a result, channel 12 became an exclusive NBC affiliate. In 1972, the station changed its call letters to WTLV. Later that year, the station was purchased by Harte-Hanks Communications. On March 31, 1980, WTLV swapped affiliations with WJKS, joining ABC, which at the time was the most-watched of the then-three major U.S. broadcast television networks.〔(The Big Switch Is Upon Us ), ''The Florida Times-Union'', March 27, 1980.〕
In 1988, the Gannett Company bought WTLV from Harte-Hanks, in a two-station deal with Greensboro, North Carolina sister station WFMY-TV. On April 3 of that year, WTLV reversed the 1980 affiliation swap with WJKS, returning to NBC in what the network called one of its most successful affiliation switches ever. By this time, NBC had once again become the highest-rated broadcast network. WTLV became the de facto official station of the Jacksonville Jaguars when the NFL team began operations in 1995, by virtue of NBC holding the broadcast rights to the American Football Conference. It aired most Jaguars games until 1998, when the team's telecasts moved to WJXT (channel 4) after CBS acquired the broadcast rights to the AFC's regular season and playoff games (most Jaguars games are now televised on WJAX-TV (channel 47), which obtained the CBS affiliation in July 2002). WTLV also aired a weekly television show called ''Monday Night Live'', which aired at 7:00 p.m. every Monday evening during the NFL football season, and was hosted by sports director Dan Hicken and John Jurkovic.〔
