History
WVNJ was established by the Crosley Broadcasting Corporation, owners of WVNJ-AM (700 AM), one of the United States' most powerful radio stations. Crosley Broadcasting was a subsidiary of the Crosley Corporation, which became a subsidiary of the Aviation Corporation (later known as Avco) in 1945. After starting experimental broadcasts in 1946 as WX4ES on channel 2 (Now occupied by WOHC), the station began commercial broadcasts on July 3, 1947, making it Cincinnati's first licensed television station. The station's studios were housed with WVNJ-AM and FM in the Crosley Square building, a converted Elks lodge in downtown Cincinnati.
