It operated from studios on the campus in Ames. The foresight of president <a href="/w/index.php?title=Charles_E._Friley&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Charles E. Friley (page does not exist)">Charles E. Friley</a> to expand Iowa State's long-running <a href="/wiki/WOI_(AM)" title="WOI (AM)">WOI</a> radio station into television led to a very early application and allowed the college to beat <a href="/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission#Freeze_of_1948" title="Federal Communications Commission">a years-long freeze</a> on new TV stations. While WOI-TV was intended as an educational service and aired college courses, <a href="/wiki/Agricultural_extension" title="Agricultural extension">agricultural extension</a> programs, and the long-running children's show <i><a href="/wiki/The_Magic_Window" title="The Magic Window">The Magic Window</a></i>, the freeze left it the only TV station in central Iowa, and the <a href="/wiki/Iowa_Board_of_Regents" title="Iowa Board of Regents">Iowa Board of Regents</a> allowed it to accept national network programming and advertising. After the freeze, WOI-TV was moved to channel 5, and new stations sprang up in Des Moines. As a result of the advent of KRNT-TV (now <a href="/wiki/KCCI" title="KCCI">KCCI</a>) and <a href="/wiki/WHO-TV" class="mw-redirect" title="WHO-TV">WHO-TV</a>, WOI-TV lost considerable advertising business as well as <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> and <a href="/wiki/CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a> programming. To counteract the lost revenue, the Board of Regents permitted WOI-TV to accept local advertising in 1955, though it did not employ its own advertising sales representatives. For decades, WOI-TV existed between commercial broadcasting and university ownership; the federal government ruled its activities were subject to income tax, and there were sporadic calls for ISU to sell WOI-TV to a private entity. With the station deliberately kept from being an aggressive competitor and perceptions that it was a training ground for university students and not a Des Moines station, the station sank to a distant third in local news ratings. </p><p>Debate over the privatization of state government functions renewed the touchy question of WOI-TV's operational status in the mid-1980s. In 1987, WOI-TV was placed under separate management within the university and encouraged to turn a profit. The sales force was expanded and some of the news staff moved to Des Moines to improve the station's competitive standing, but ratings failed to meaningfully rise, and increased revenues came in below projections. In 1991, ISU president <a href="/wiki/Martin_C._Jischke" title="Martin C. Jischke">Martin C. Jischke</a> recommended WOI-TV be sold, in spite of a down market for commercial TV stations. This was opposed by local residents who felt that WOI-TV was a resource to ISU and a valuable training ground for broadcast professionals. The bidding process was partly mishandled, leading the original winning bidder to withdraw from the process. The regents agreed to a $14 million offer from <a href="/wiki/Citadel_Communications" title="Citadel Communications">Citadel Communications</a> in 1992; Citadel overcame an adverse ruling in court and an attempt by the Iowa legislature to stop the transaction and took control on February 28, 1994. It chose not to rehire 20 employees, canceled <i>The Magic Window</i>, and began migrating station operations and some newscast production to Des Moines. In 1998, the entire station relocated to the present studios in West Des Moines. In spite of multiple rebrands and efforts to improve the news product, WOI continued to find itself a very distant third in the ratings and struggled to change viewers' perceptions of the station. </p><p>Citadel sold its Iowa stations to <a href="/wiki/Nexstar_Broadcasting_Group" class="mw-redirect" title="Nexstar Broadcasting Group">Nexstar Broadcasting Group</a> in 2013. Under Nexstar, the station rebranded again as <i>Local 5</i> in 2015. It also gained a duopoly partner when the company closed on its purchase of KCWI-TV in 2016. When Nexstar acquired <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Media" title="Tribune Media">Tribune Media</a> in 2019, it opted to retain the higher-rated WHO and sold WOI and KCWI to Tegna. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Iowa_State_University_ownership">Iowa State University ownership</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=WOI-DT&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Iowa State University ownership"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Construction_and_freeze-era_operation">Construction and freeze-era operation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=WOI-DT&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Construction and freeze-era operation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Iowa State College's involvement in broadcasting had dated to the earliest days of the medium.
