WXYZ-TV was created out of ABC-owned radio station WXYZ (1270 AM), which produced the popular radio programs <i><a href="/wiki/The_Lone_Ranger" class="mw-redirect" title="The Lone Ranger">The Lone Ranger</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/The_Green_Hornet_(radio_series)" title="The Green Hornet (radio series)">The Green Hornet</a></i>. WXYZ radio personality Dick Osgood was host of WXYZ-TV's inaugural broadcast. </p><p>The television station originally broadcast from studios located in the <a href="/wiki/Maccabees_Building" title="Maccabees Building">Maccabees Building</a> on <a href="/wiki/Woodward_Avenue" class="mw-redirect" title="Woodward Avenue">Woodward Avenue</a> in midtown Detroit, across from the <a href="/wiki/Detroit_Institute_of_Arts" title="Detroit Institute of Arts">Detroit Institute of Arts</a>. In the 1950s, WXYZ-TV began producing a series of popular and innovative programs that featured many personalities from WXYZ radio. The station's success generated revenues large enough that it became instrumental in financially helping the then-struggling ABC network and other ABC ventures during the 1950s, including <a href="/wiki/ABC-Paramount_Records" class="mw-redirect" title="ABC-Paramount Records">ABC-Paramount Records</a>. In 1959, all of WXYZ's radio and television operations moved into new broadcast facilities at Broadcast House, at 20777 West Ten Mile Road in Southfield, where WXYZ's television operations remain. The facility was built on the site of a former farm and included three television production studios and its own free-standing broadcast tower with a single-person maintenance elevator. WXYZ began broadcasting network programs in color in 1962 and started broadcasting local programs and newscasts in color around 1964. </p><p>By 1978, WXYZ-TV was the second most-dominant television station in the United States in terms of local viewership, no doubt attributable to ABC's prime-time ratings dominance and the continued success of <i>Channel 7 <a href="/wiki/Action_News" title="Action News">Action News</a></i> with lead news anchor <a href="/wiki/Bill_Bonds" title="Bill Bonds">Bill Bonds</a>. In 1979, ABC named Jeanne Findlater as WXYZ-TV's general manager. She was the first woman to hold that title at a major market television station. WXYZ-TV was carried by the <a href="/wiki/Cancom" class="mw-redirect" title="Cancom">Cancom</a> system from 1983 as the ABC station for Canadian cable television providers too distant to receive a border station's signal over-the-air, though later, <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a> station <a href="/wiki/KOMO-TV" title="KOMO-TV">KOMO-TV</a> was added to Cancom's offerings as a <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Time_Zone" title="Pacific Time Zone">Pacific Time Zone</a> alternative. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="E._W._Scripps_Company_station">E.

The most famous program, <i>Lunch with Soupy</i>, launched the career of comedian <a href="/wiki/Soupy_Sales" title="Soupy Sales">Soupy Sales</a>. The program debuted in 1953 and was such a success that ABC moved production to Los Angeles in 1960 and aired the show nationally. Sales also hosted a very popular late night adult comedy show during that same period in the 1950s called <i>Soupy's On</i>. Other successful children's shows to follow would include <i>Wyxie's Wonderland</i> hosted by Detroit comic Marv Welch. In 1954, Bob Brickwedde (using the stage name Bob Henry) hosted the <i>Nash Theater Hour</i> on Thursday nights and hosted <a href="/wiki/Western_(genre)" title="Western (genre)">Western</a> movies featuring Deadeye and Black Bart on Saturdays as "Sheriff Bob". <i>Ricky the Clown</i> was hosted by professional <a href="/wiki/Clown" title="Clown">clown</a> and <a href="/wiki/Magic_(illusion)" title="Magic (illusion)">magician</a> Irv Romig and <i>The Johnny Ginger Show</i> was hosted by local comic <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Ginger" title="Johnny Ginger">Johnny Ginger</a>. The <i>Auntie Dee Show</i> hosted by <a href="/wiki/Dee_Parker" title="Dee Parker">Dee Parker</a> was a popular children's talent show.

The program showed films about exotic locations around the world. <i>The Lady of Charm</i> and later <i>House O' Charm</i> with host Edythe Fern Melrose was a predecessor to today's <a href="/wiki/Martha_Stewart" title="Martha Stewart">Martha Stewart</a> home-making programs. <i>Prize Movie</i> with popular host Rita Bell introduced feature films and held a viewer call-in contest (with cash prizes that started at $7) to name the title of a song she played on the air. Several music programs also aired including <i>Club Polka</i> and <i>Club 1270</i>.

It was primarily a talk show with featured guests and a studio audience. In 1984, Turner and Kelly would also host the short-lived afternoon program, <i>Good Afternoon Detroit</i>. The program was a pilot for other ABC-owned stations including those in New York and Chicago to launch their own <i>Good Afternoon...</i> shows. </p><p>In 1965, the Sunday morning <a href="/wiki/Public_affairs_(broadcasting)" title="Public affairs (broadcasting)">public affairs</a> show <i>Spotlight on the News</i> debuted, with WXYZ-TV's news director Bill Fyffe as its first host. The show was later hosted by political reporter Jim Herrington and continues to air today with WXYZ-TV editorial and public affairs director Chuck Stokes as its host, writer and producer. <i>Spotlight</i> is now Detroit's longest-running current events television program. It has featured local and national public officials including U.S. presidents and won numerous awards. Another public affairs show that aired Sunday nights at 11:30 p.m. from 1967 to 1981 was <i>Haney's People</i> with host Don Haney. </p><p>WXYZ-TV has also been involved in several Detroit traditions over the years, having aired special coverage of Detroit's <a href="/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)" title="Thanksgiving (United States)">Thanksgiving Day</a> Parade, The North American International Auto Show Charity Preview, the annual <a href="/wiki/Woodward_Dream_Cruise" title="Woodward Dream Cruise">Woodward Dream Cruise</a> and the City of Detroit's celebrations of its 250th anniversary in 1951 and 300th anniversary in 2001.

The station's news department started as a small operation, with short twice-a-weeknight updates anchored by previous staff announcer Lee McNew and longtime sportscaster <a href="/wiki/Dave_Diles" title="Dave Diles">Dave Diles</a>. WXYZ would later gain credibility for its coverage of the <a href="/wiki/1967_Detroit_race_riots" class="mw-redirect" title="1967 Detroit race riots">1967 Detroit race riots</a>. In the 1970s, WXYZ-TV began an aggressive build-up of its news department by adopting many elements of the <i><a href="/wiki/Eyewitness_News" title="Eyewitness News">Eyewitness News</a></i> format, such as the <i><a href="/wiki/Cool_Hand_Luke" title="Cool Hand Luke">Cool Hand Luke</a></i> music theme that was used by ABC's four other owned-and-operated television stations in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. However, it opted to title its newscasts <i>Action News</i>, since rival WJBK-TV was already using the <i>Eyewitness News</i> brand. Under the direction of general manager Jim Osborn and <a href="/wiki/News_director" title="News director">news director</a> Phil Nye, the station would lure popular news personalities from rival stations, WJBK-TV and WDIV-TV (then known as WWJ-TV) to join its already well-known anchors Dave Diles and Bill Bonds. WXYZ-TV assembled Detroit's most popular news anchors and reporters for its news staff such as John Kelly, Jac LeGoff, Al Ackerman, Marilyn Turner, Jack McCarthy, <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Hodak" title="Jerry Hodak">Jerry Hodak</a>, Don Lark and Doris Biscoe. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Rabinowitz-BillBonds-1985.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Rabinowitz-BillBonds-1985.JPG/210px-Rabinowitz-BillBonds-1985.JPG" decoding="async" width="210" height="315" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Rabinowitz-BillBonds-1985.JPG/315px-Rabinowitz-BillBonds-1985.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Rabinowitz-BillBonds-1985.JPG/420px-Rabinowitz-BillBonds-1985.JPG 2x" data-file-width="988" data-file-height="1480" /></a><figcaption>Former Action News Anchor <a href="/wiki/Bill_Bonds" title="Bill Bonds">Bill Bonds</a> prepares to interview students at Harrison High School in <a href="/wiki/Farmington_Hills,_Michigan" title="Farmington Hills, Michigan">Farmington Hills, Michigan</a> (1985 photo).</figcaption></figure> <p>By 1973, WXYZ-TV's newscasts became the highest-rated in Detroit for the first time ever, a lead it would maintain for almost four decades. Its success was linked to the serious, controversial, opinionated hard delivery of lead anchor Bill Bonds. ABC tried to apply Bonds' success in Detroit at KABC-TV in Los Angeles in the late 1960s and again in 1975 at New York City's WABC-TV; in both cases, he was unsuccessful and soon returned to WXYZ-TV. During the 1980s and 1990s, Bonds hosted the interview segment, <i>Up Front</i>, on WXYZ-TV's 5 p.m. newscast. During the interviews, Bonds confronted the Detroit area's public officials and newsmakers with hard-hitting and sometimes controversial questions. Bonds' hard-edge style was widely known in Detroit for both captivating viewers while repulsing others, leading Bonds to become the station's icon and its main star. In Ron Powers' book, <i>The Newscasters</i>, Powers called Bonds "one of the six most influential news anchors in the country". However, Bonds had public battles with alcoholism which are credited with his dismissal from the station in 1995. Bonds anchored newscasts and a late night talk-show called <i>Bonds Tonight</i> at WJBK-TV shortly afterwards and later hosted a radio show at WXYT. Bonds returned to WXYZ-TV in 1999 to present editorials during the newscasts but left the station after only a few months. </p><p>WXYZ-TV's ratings dominance was challenged by WDIV-TV starting in the 1980s, due in part to a change of ownership and culture at WDIV and viewers looking for an alternative to Bonds' hard-hitting style of news presentation. The two stations continue to battle for ratings to this day. In recent years, the station's news coverage received several journalism honors including two <a href="/wiki/DuPont-Columbia_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="DuPont-Columbia Award">Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University</a> awards,<sup id="cite_ref-scripps_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-scripps-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the <a href="/wiki/George_Foster_Peabody_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="George Foster Peabody Award">George Foster Peabody Award</a>. WXYZ-TV's <i>Action News</i> was named the best television newscast in the U.S. by <a href="/wiki/United_Press_International" title="United Press International">United Press International</a> in 1989.<sup id="cite_ref-upi_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-upi-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the 1990s, WXYZ-TV continued to expand its <a href="/wiki/Breakfast_television" title="Breakfast television">morning newscast</a>, <i>Action News This Morning</i> to the eventual start time of 5 am. This newscast had originated in the form of short news updates that aired during <i><a href="/wiki/Good_Morning_America" title="Good Morning America">Good Morning America</a></i>.

During most of that time, Smith also reported on human-interest and entertainment stories. Smith also won acclaim for his award-winning series <i>From the Heart</i> which began in the late 1990s as a collection of heartwarming, historical and inspirational stories from around the Detroit area. Smith left the station in May 2010, due to a dispute with management, five days before his contract was set to expire. </p><p>In 2001, WXYZ-TV debuted a 7 p.m. newscast, a move that occurred after the <a href="/wiki/September_11_attacks" title="September 11 attacks">September 11 attacks</a> when the station chose to move ABC's <i><a href="/wiki/ABC_World_News_Tonight" title="ABC World News Tonight">World News Tonight</a></i> ahead by 30 minutes to 6:30 pm.

The station also expanded its noon newscast to one hour. In 2002, WXYZ-TV entered into a news share agreement with <a href="/wiki/Viacom_(1952%E2%80%932006)" class="mw-redirect" title="Viacom (1952–2006)">Viacom</a>, then-owner of WWJ-TV and <a href="/wiki/UPN" title="UPN">UPN</a> affiliate WKBD-TV to produce WKBD's 10 p.m. newscast; this resulted in WKBD shutting down its news department, while also effectively cancelling the newscast it produced for WWJ-TV. A handful of Viacom's Detroit employees were transferred to WXYZ-TV. Viacom would also transfer the operations of its <a href="/wiki/CBS_News" title="CBS News">CBS News</a> satellite news-gathering service <a href="/wiki/CBS_Newspath" class="mw-redirect" title="CBS Newspath">CBS Newspath</a> to offices at WXYZ-TV's Broadcast House studios, since WXYZ-TV would also be allowed to use the resources of CBS News. The newscast was canceled in late 2004 due to poor viewership (WKBD and WWJ-TV later resumed local newscasts with the former using the <a href="/wiki/CBS_News_(streaming_service)#CBS_News_Local" class="mw-redirect" title="CBS News (streaming service)">CBSN Local</a> streaming service for <i>Detroit News Now</i> from January 2020 to August 2023 and the latter launching <i>CBS News Detroit</i> in January 2023). On October 4, 2006, WXYZ became the first television station in Michigan and the first Scripps-owned station to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in <a href="/wiki/High-definition_television" title="High-definition television">high definition</a>. </p><p><i>Action News</i> continued its success with longtime anchors Diana Lewis, Robbie Timmons, meteorologist Jerry Hodak, sportscaster Don Shane and up until October 9, 2006, anchor Frank Turner, who became a successful replacement to Bill Bonds. Another addition to the news staff was anchor Stephen Clark, a former anchor at <a href="/wiki/WCBS-TV" title="WCBS-TV">WCBS-TV</a> in New York and CBS News correspondent. Chief meteorologist Jerry Hodak was the station's primary weathercaster for at least 26 of his more than 40 years in Detroit television. In July 2010, Hodak announced his retirement from WXYZ-TV with his last broadcast occurring two months later on September 23. In 2006, WXYZ-TV also boasted the most veteran general assignment reporters in Detroit television with Cheryl Chodun, Bill Proctor, Mary Conway and Val Clark, each of whom worked at least 20 years at the station. </p><p>In the November 2006 ratings period, shortly after the switch to HD, all of WXYZ-TV's newscasts placed first in their respective timeslots except at 11 pm, which lagged behind WDIV-TV.<sup id="cite_ref-sweeps_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sweeps-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> From the November 2007 ratings period until before the May 2009 ratings period, WXYZ-TV's newscasts were No. 1 in each of its respective timeslots.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, it finished behind rival WDIV-TV, which took first place in the evening and late news timeslots in the May 2009 sweeps period due largely to lower ratings of shows leading into WXYZ-TV's news programs.
