About Me

On January 16, 1949, Channel 9, then a new CBS network affiliate station, began its first official broadcast. Four days later, President Harry S. Truman made history as the first American president to give a live, televised inaugural address. Of course, that speech was carried by WOIC-TV Channel 9.
Since that time a lot has changed. We've had several sets of call letters (WOIC, WTOP, WDVM, and W*USA) and Washington has grown from a small television market to one of the top ten markets in the country. Some of the most revered names in the business have shared desks here at Channel 9 - Walter Cronkite, Sam Donaldson, Arthur Godfrey, Max Robinson, Eric Sevareid, Howard K. Smith and Lowell Thomas. Channel 9 is now part of Gannett Co., Inc., an international diversified news and information company.
