company">holding company</a> of various assets, mainly in the print and broadcast media, based in <a href="/wiki/Toledo,_Ohio" title="Toledo, Ohio">Toledo, Ohio</a>. The company was founded in 1900 in <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> when <a href="/wiki/Paul_Block_(newspaper_publisher)" class="mw-redirect" title="Paul Block (newspaper publisher)">Paul Block</a>, a <a href="/wiki/German-Jewish" class="mw-redirect" title="German-Jewish">German-Jewish</a> immigrant who came to the United States in 1885, formed an ad representation firm for newspapers. The Block empire grew to encompass many newspapers on the east coast of the US, however with the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a> in the 1930s came the loss of all but three properties: the ad representation firm, the <i><a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh_Post-Gazette" title="Pittsburgh Post-Gazette">Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</a></i>, and the Toledo <i><a href="/wiki/The_Blade_(Toledo)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Blade (Toledo)">Blade</a></i> (where Block eventually settled the company upon its purchase in 1927). After Block's death in 1941, his children took over the company. They eventually passed it on to their grandchildren, who continue to operate it to this day. In May 2024, a lawsuit to stop the sale of the company, and over control it, revealed that Allan Block and John Block each own 25%, while the other 50% is owned by family trusts that benefit family members.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ownership_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ownership-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-BBNews_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBNews-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Company_holdings">Company holdings</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Block_Communications&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Company holdings"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Newspapers">Newspapers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Block_Communications&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Newspapers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><i><a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh_Post-Gazette" title="Pittsburgh Post-Gazette">Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</a></i> (<a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh" title="Pittsburgh">Pittsburgh</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania" title="Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>)</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/The_Blade_(Toledo)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Blade (Toledo)">The Blade</a></i> (<a href="/wiki/Toledo,_Ohio" title="Toledo, Ohio">Toledo, Ohio</a>)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Television">Television</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Block_Communications&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Television"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Broadcast">Broadcast</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Block_Communications&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Broadcast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Louisville,_Kentucky" title="Louisville, Kentucky">Louisville, Kentucky</a></b> </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/WDRB" title="WDRB">WDRB</a> (<a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a>/<a href="/wiki/Antenna_TV" title="Antenna TV">Antenna TV</a>;
