"35 years ago today in New York City, Marcus Loew had a problem with his money. It was not enough to supply for his movies after he bought Metro (which was bought five years prior) and Goldwyn. Then he came to his colleague Louis B. Mayer, whom he handed leadership to the newly-merged company where Mayer joined. Thus, a well-known studio by the name of Metro-Goldyn-Mayer was born. Today, here in Montgomery, shines a beacon for a new hope in entertainment, information and stardom for an time of faintness, misguidance and misleading to over a million and a half people in south central Alabama watching here on channel 59. And so, without further ado, I hereby declare open KMGMA, independent television for Montgomery on the 17th day of April in the year of our lord one-thousand nine-hundred and fifty nine. Heaven Bless Channel 59!" - Mayor W.A. Gayle
