KMSP-TV (channel ix) is a telly station licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, Us, broadcasting the Fox network to the Twin Cities expanse. It is owned and operated past the network's Fox Goggle box Stations sectionalisation alongside MyNetworkTV outlet WFTC (aqueduct 9.2). Both stations share studios on Viking Drive in Eden Prairie; while KMSP-Telly's transmitter is located in Shoreview, Minnesota.

KMSP-Idiot box as well serves the Mankato market (via K35KI-D in nearby St. James[1] through the local municipal-operated Cooperative Telly (CTV) network of translators[2] [iii]), fifty-fifty though that surface area already has a Fox affiliate of its own.[4] KMSP is also carried on the main channel of KFTC (digital and virtual channel 26), a satellite station of WFTC licensed to Bemidji which serves the northernmost reaches of the Minneapolis–St. Paul television receiver marketplace.

KMSP-Tv set is also carried in Canada on Shaw Cable's Thunder Bay, Ontario system and on Bong MTS Fibe Television receiver in the province of Manitoba.

History [edit]

The Family Broadcasting Corporation in Minneapolis, owner of radio station KEYD (1440 AM, now KYCR), filed an awarding with the FCC for a construction let for a new commercial television station to be operated on Channel 9 on November 24, 1953.[5] WLOL and WDGY (now KTLK) also expressed interest, but withdrew their applications in 1954, assuring that the new station would go to KEYD and its possessor, Family unit Broadcasting.[vi] [vii] KEYD-Idiot box began broadcasting on January ix, 1955, and was affiliated with the DuMont Television set Network.[viii] During this time, Harry Reasoner, a graduate of Minneapolis West High School and the Academy of Minnesota, was hired as the station's first news anchor and news managing director.[ix] Even so, DuMont shut down in late 1955, leaving the station as an independent outlet;[viii] on June 3, 1956, the KEYD stations were sold to United Television, whose principals at the time included several stockholders of Pittsburgh station WENS, for $1.5 million.[8] [ten] [11] The new owners immediately sold off KEYD radio,[x] [11] refocused KEYD-Television receiver's programming on films and sports,[12] and shut down the news department; Reasoner was hired by CBS News a few months later.[thirteen] [14] Reasoner became a host for CBS's 60 Minutes when information technology launched in 1968.

Channel 9 inverse its call letters to KMGM-Boob tube on May 23, 1956.[five] At the time, the station was in negotiations with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to acquire the Twin Cities television rights to the company's films, along with selling a 25 percent stake in KMGM-Television set to the studio.[15] Negotiations bankrupt downwardly afterward that month over the cost of the films;[xvi] additionally, Loew's, MGM'southward parent company at the time, filed a petition with the FCC against the call sign change, claiming that the use of KMGM was unauthorized and a violation of MGM's trademark.[17] The FCC ruled confronting Loew's that October, proverb that its call sign assignment policies were limited to preventing confusion between stations in a given expanse.[18] The agreements to lease MGM's pre-1949 films and sell 25 percent of the station to Loew's were both completed that Nov; KMGM was the third station, afterward future sister station KTTV in Los Angeles and KTVR in Denver, to enter into such an arrangement.[19]

National Telefilm Associates, which later purchased WNTA-Television set in the New York Urban center area, purchased the 75 percent of United Television not owned by MGM for $650,000 in November 1957, joining it to the NTA Film Network until it ended in 1961.[20] [21] [22] After taking control, NTA expanded KMGM-TV's hours of performance as part of an overhaul of channel nine's schedule that too included the addition of newscasts.[23] A few months later on, on Feb 10, 1958, NTA bought MGM'southward stake for $130,000 and appear that it would change channel nine's calls to KMSP-TV;[8] [24] [25] the phone call sign change took effect that March over the objections of KSTP-Tv (channel 5).[26] National Theatres, a theater concatenation whose broadcast holdings already included WDAF AM-TV in Kansas City, began the process of acquiring NTA in Nov 1958;[27] in Apr 1959, it purchased 88 percent of the visitor.[28] 20th Century-Fox, the former parent company of National Theatres, bought KMSP-Tv for $4.1 one thousand thousand on November 9, 1959, retaining the United Television corporate name.[8] [29] The KMSP telephone call messages were featured on prop telly cameras in the May 29, 1963, episode of the CBS sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, produced past 20th Century Pull a fast one on Tv set; the show was loosely set in the Twin Cities surface area. The episode was titled "The Telephone call of the, Like, Wild".

During its early years until 1972, the station'south studios and offices were located in a lower level of the Foshay Tower in downtown Minneapolis; the transmitter was located on top of the tower, the tallest construction in the area until 1971, along with WCCO-Tv set (channel 4) and WTCN-Tv (channel 11, now KARE).[8]

Equally an ABC affiliate [edit]

KMSP-TV took over the ABC amalgamation from WTCN-Tv on Apr sixteen, 1961.[xxx] Throughout its years with ABC, KMSP was notorious for having a sub-standard news section with large staff turnover. Ratings were dismal with KMSP obtaining only 1-third of the viewing audience of each of their 2 competitors, CBS affiliate WCCO-TV and NBC affiliate KSTP-Tv.[31] The station's transmitter was moved in 1971 to a new tower constructed by KMSP in Shoreview, while the studios and offices relocated in 1972 to Edina on York Avenue S, across from Southdale Shopping Center.[viii]

In the tardily 1970s, ABC steadily rose to beginning identify in the network ratings. Appropriately, the network sought to upgrade its slate of affiliates, which were made up of some stations that either had poor signals or poorly performing local programming. In Dec 1977, ABC warned KMSP that it would yank its affiliation unless improvements were made and fast. In early 1978, to cash in on ABC's improved ratings, KMSP re-branded itself "ABC9" (approximately xx years before the use of a network's name in a station'southward on-air branding became commonplace amidst U.S. affiliates), and retooled its newscast. Despite the changes, KMSP's news department remained a distant third backside WCCO-Goggle box and KSTP-Boob tube.[31]

Condign an independent once again [edit]

On August 29, 1978, ABC announced that KSTP-Tv set would get the network'south new Twin Cities affiliate the following bound.[32] The signing of channel five made nationwide news, every bit information technology had been an NBC affiliate for three decades. KSTP-Idiot box looked forward to affiliating with the height network, every bit third-identify NBC had been in a long ratings slump. In retaliation for losing ABC, KMSP-Tv immediately removed all ABC branding and regularly preempted network programming. Aqueduct 9 then attempted to affiliate with NBC, thinking The Tonight Show would be a skilful lead-out from their 10 p.chiliad. newscast, despite low prime fourth dimension ratings.[31] Nonetheless, NBC, miffed at losing one of its strongest affiliates, and not wanting to pick upwards ABC's rejects, turned down KMSP's offer almost immediately[31] and signed an affiliation understanding with contained station WTCN-TV.[33] Every bit a result of being rejected past both ABC and NBC, KMSP-TV prepared to get an independent station. Although information technology now faced a lack of weekend and weekday national sports coverage and having to purchase seven to eight boosted hours of programming per day, information technology as well would not have to invest nigh as much into its news section and could invest its affiliate dues into syndicated motion picture rights and local sports instead. Most of the on-air and off-air staffers resigned, non wanting to work for a down-scaled independent operation.[31]

The affiliation switch occurred on March 5, 1979,[8] [31] and KMSP debuted its new independent schedule featuring cartoons, syndicated shows[31] and fifty-fifty the locally based American Wrestling Association,[34] with much of the station'due south programming having been acquired from WTCN-Tv. To emphasize that the station's programming decisions would be influenced past viewers instead of a network, KMSP rebranded itself as "Receptive Channel 9", and an antenna was shown atop the station's logo in station identifications. The station became quite aggressive in acquiring programming, obtaining broadcast rights to several state loftier school sports championships from the MSHSL, the NHL'southward Minnesota North Stars and the Minnesota Twins baseball team.[31]

As it turned out, KMSP'due south transition into an independent station turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Information technology was far more successful than the station always had been equally an ABC chapter. It became a regional superstation, available on nearly every cablevision system in Minnesota besides equally large portions of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin. Over fourth dimension, it became one of the most successful and profitable independent stations in the country.[31]

KMSP went through another ownership change on June 9, 1981, when 20th Century-Play tricks spun off United Telly as an independent company owned by Play a joke on shareholders; the transaction was approved alongside the $700 million auction of 20th Century-Fox to Marvin Davis.[35] Chris-Craft Industries, which in 1977 had acquired an involvement in 20th Century-Play tricks that past 1981 comprised 22 percentage of Fox'southward stock, received a xix percent stake in United Television set;[36] afterward in June, it filed with the FCC for control of United, as it now endemic 32 percent of its stock.[37] Two years later on, Chris-Craft, though its BHC subsidiary, increased its stake in United Television receiver to 50.1 percentage and gained majority control of the visitor.[36]

First Fox affiliation, then back to independent [edit]

KMSP-TV remained an independent station through 1986 when it became i of the original charter affiliates of the newly launched Pull a fast one on network on October 9.[38] This suited channel 9, every bit information technology wanted the prestige of existence a network affiliate without being tied downward to a network-dominated program schedule; at the fourth dimension, Pull a fast one on only programmed a nightly talk prove and, starting in 1987, two nights of prime time programming; the network would showtime its full-calendar week programming schedule in 1993. For its kickoff few years with Play tricks, the station served as the de facto Fox affiliate for nearly all of Minnesota and South Dakota.

Nevertheless, the station did not remain a Fox chapter for long. By 1988, KMSP was i of several Fox affiliates nationwide that were disappointed with the network'southward weak programming offerings, specially on Saturday nights, which were bogging down KMSP's otherwise successful independent lineup. That January, channel ix dropped Play a joke on's Sat nighttime lineup;[39] the move did not sit well with Fox, and in July 1988 the network appear that it would not renew its affiliations with KMSP and Chris-Craft sister station KPTV in Portland, Oregon.[forty] Fox then signed an understanding with KITN (channel 29, at present WFTC) to become its new Twin Cities affiliate, and KMSP reverted to being an independent station total-time.[8] [31] In 1992, the station relocated to its current studio facilities on Viking Drive in Eden Prairie.[8] Forth with the other United Goggle box stations, KMSP carried programming from the Prime Fourth dimension Entertainment Network from 1993 to 1995.[41]

As a UPN affiliate [edit]

By the early 1990s, Fox had exploded in popularity; it had begun carrying strong shows that were starting to rival the program offerings of the "Big Three" networks and had but picked upwards the circulate rights to the NFL'south National Football game Conference. In response to this, in October 1993, Chris-Craft/United Television partnered with Paramount Pictures (which was acquired by Viacom in 1994) to form the United Paramount Network (UPN) and both companies fabricated independent stations that both companies respectively owned in several big and mid-sized U.S. cities charter stations of the new network.[42]

UPN launched on January 16, 1995,[8] (with the two-hour premiere of Star Trek: Voyager), with channel 9 becoming a UPN owned-and-operated station due to Chris-Arts and crafts/United's ownership stake in the network (later role-buying in 1996 when Viacom bought a 50% stake of the network)—making information technology the second network-owned station in the Twin Cities (alongside CBS-owned WCCO-Tv). Over time, KMSP became one of UPN's nearly successful affiliates in terms of viewership. In addition to UPN's prime-time schedule and the network'southward daytime children's blocks (such as UPN Kids from 1995 to 1999, and Disney'south One Too from 1999 to 2003), the station was notwithstanding enjoying success with local sports programming featuring the Minnesota Twins, as well as the MSHSL championships. KMSP was stripped of its condition equally a UPN owned-and-operated station in 2000 afterwards Viacom exercised a contractual clause to buy out Chris-Craft's pale in the network, although the station remained with UPN as an affiliate for another two years. Around this time, Viacom bought CBS (and in turn, WCCO).[43] [44]

Return to Fox as an endemic-and-operated station [edit]

News Corporation, through its Fox Goggle box Stations subsidiary, agreed to purchase Chris-Craft Industries and its stations, including KMSP-TV, for $v.35 billion in August 2000 (this brought KMSP, along with San Antonio's KMOL-TV and Table salt Lake Metropolis's KTVX, back under common ownership with 20th Century Fox); the bargain followed a bidding war with Viacom.[45] [46] [47] The sale was completed on July 31, 2001.[48] While Fox pledged to retain the Chris-Arts and crafts stations' UPN affiliations through at least the 2000–01 flavour,[49] and Chris-Craft agreed to an 18-month renewal for its UPN affiliates in January 2001,[50] an amalgamation bandy was expected once KMSP'due south affiliation agreement with UPN ran out in 2002, given Fox'southward presumed preference to have its programming on a station that it already endemic. Additionally, KMSP'due south signal was much stronger than that of WFTC; it was a VHF station that had been on the air much longer than UHF outlet WFTC.[51] About importantly, Play tricks had been aggressively expanding local news programming on its stations, and KMSP had an established and competitive news section whereas WFTC'southward news department did not begin operations until Apr 2001. The movement was made easier when, in July 2001, Fox agreed to trade KTVX and KMOL (at present WOAI-Tv set) to Clear Channel Communications in commutation for WFTC,[52] a transaction completed that Oct.[51]

The affiliation switch, officially announced in May 2002,[53] occurred on September 8, 2002 (accompanied by a "Make the Switch" advertisement campaign that was seen on both stations), as Fox programming returned to KMSP-Tv set after a fourteen-year absence, while WFTC took the UPN amalgamation;[54] KMSP was the only former Chris-Craft station that was acquired and kept by Play a joke on that did not retain its UPN affiliation. The station began carrying Fox's entire programming schedule at that time, including the Fox Box children's block (which afterward returned to WFTC as 4KidsTV, until the block was discontinued by Fob in Dec 2008 due to a dispute with 4Kids Entertainment). The affiliation swap coincided with the get-go of the 2002 NFL season; KMSP effectively became the "home" station for the NFL'due south Minnesota Vikings as a result of Fox property the broadcast rights to the National Football Conference (from 1994 to 2001, most Vikings games were aired on WFTC). Finally, in 2014, with the launch of Xploration Station which replaced Weekend Marketplace which WFTC carried, KMSP-TV began clearing the unabridged Fox network schedule for good.

Since Play a joke on has affiliates in nearly media markets and the Federal Communications Commission's syndication exclusivity regulations normally require cable systems to but carry a given network'south local affiliate, and Pull a fast one on prefers only an surface area'southward chapter exist carried equally opposed to a afar station for rating tabulation purposes, KMSP was eventually removed from near cable providers outside the Twin Cities. Past this time, these areas had plenty stations to provide local Fox affiliates. KMSP thus effectively lost the "regional superstation" status information technology had held for almost a quarter-century, dating back to when it was an independent station. Due to the advent of digital boob tube, many stations in smaller markets previously served by KMSP began operating UPN-affiliated digital subchannels towards the end of the network's run to replace that network's programming in those markets, which in turn became MyNetworkTV or CW affiliates.

On December 14, 2017, The Walt Disney Company, owner of KSTP-TV'southward affiliated network ABC, announced its intent to buy KMSP-Boob tube's parent visitor, 21st Century Flim-flam, for $66.i billion; the sale, which closed on March 20, 2019, excluded KMSP-TV and sis station WFTC equally well equally the Fox network, the MyNetworkTV programming service, Fox News, Fox Sports one, the Big Ten Network and the Trick Television Stations unit of measurement, which were all transferred to the newly formed Play tricks Corporation.[55] [56] Trick Sports North would exist divested in a separate deal to Diamond Sports Grouping, made up of a joint venture of WUCW owner Sinclair Broadcast Group and Entertainment Studios.

News operation [edit]

KMSP before long broadcasts 59+ 1⁄2 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 10 hours each weekday, 4 hours on Saturdays, and 5+ ane⁄ii hours on Sundays); in regards to the number of hours devoted to news programming, information technology is the highest newscast output among Minneapolis' broadcast television stations.

The station's starting time news director and news ballast was Harry Reasoner when KMSP signed on (as KEYD-TV) in 1955.[nine] Despite the station's focus on live coverage of news and sports, besides equally awards from the University of Minnesota Journalism School and the Northwest Radio–TV News Association, KEYD's newscasts were mostly in fourth identify in the ratings.[14] Afterwards aqueduct nine's buying inverse in 1956, the news operation was closed down.[14] News programming returned to the station afterwards NTA bought KMGM-Boob tube in 1957.[23]

The station, which had long been a distant third to WCCO-TV and KSTP-TV in the Twin Cities news ratings, began an aggressive campaign in 1973 to gain ground against its competition. Afterwards a nationwide search, management hired Ben Boyett and Phil Bremen to anchor a newscast with a new ready and format, known every bit newsnine.[31] The new format did not really draw many new viewers, and the station's low news budget, ill-conceived promotion, and frequent technical glitches, along with its network's news sectionalisation's overall struggles and wire service earlier Roone Arledge took control, didn't aid matters. One botched campaign for a news series on venereal affliction, in the spring of 1974, resulted in lawsuits from two young women that claimed that their likenesses were used in promos without their permission, thus dissentious their reputations.[31] Past the fall of 1975, Boyett and Bremen would be gone, replaced by respected veteran newsman Don Harrison and the station'south first female person anchor, Cathie Mann. These changes did little to take channel 9 out of 3rd place, and despite ABC becoming the #i network past 1977 and Arledge'southward moves to increment ABC News'southward prestige, KMSP'south newscasts still struggled.[31]

Later KMSP lost the ABC affiliation in 1979, the station's news operation reduced to a more scaled-downward 9 p.thousand. or post-sports-only newscast which was more than manageable for KMSP to maintain at the fourth dimension. It was paired with the syndicated Contained Network News in the early-to-mid 1980s. The newscast's upkeep and ratings would increment by the stop of that decade, with re-expansions of the news department into the morn and early evenings occurring in the mid 90s.

By the end of the decade, Minnesota 9 News was competitive with the other stations in the market, particularly with its all-local morning newscast doing well against the network morning shows. This was despite KMSP being hamstrung by its UPN affiliation, which had seen several affiliates of the network cut or close their news departments through its decade of being, due to the network's overall and prime time ratings failing to see expectations. Exterior of UPN's Star Expedition series, the rest of the network's programming schedule struggled exterior of cities, a particular issue that afflicted KMSP as a statewide superstation with a wide rural footprint. This played into the station's decision to eschew their owner-mandated "UPN ix" branding for the more neutral statewide branding of "Minnesota 9" (later, 9 News) to promote their news department.

When KMSP rejoined Fox in 2002, the station'due south prime time newscast, now with the stronger aid of Pull a fast one on'south prime time lineup and sports coverage, frequently outrated the newscasts on KSTP-Goggle box.[31] Following Fox'south acquisition of WFTC in 2001, that station's existing news operation was moved into an auxiliary studio of KMSP as office of a wearisome merger (including limited story-sharing);[53] afterward Trick canceled aqueduct 29'southward newscast in 2006, some of WFTC's staff moved in full to KMSP.[57]

On May eleven, 2009, KMSP became the 2nd station in the Twin Cities (backside KARE-Tv) to broadcast local newscasts in high-definition.

Controversy [edit]

On June 16, 2006, during ane of the station'southward newscasts, KMSP broadcast a "video news release" about convertibles produced past General Motors without required attribution that information technology was distributed by the auto giant. The narrator, MediaLink publicist Andrew Schmertz, was introduced every bit reporter André Schmertz.[58] On March 24, 2011, the FCC levied a $iv,000 fine confronting KMSP for airing the video news release without disclosing the corporate source of the segment to its viewers, following complaints filed by the Complimentary Press and the Eye for Media and Democracy in 2006 and 2007.[59]

In November 2009, KMSP began broadcasting a standard definition simulcast of WFTC on its second subchannel (virtual aqueduct 29.2), with WFTC'southward adding a standard definition simulcast of KMSP on its second subchannel (virtual aqueduct 9.2) in plow. This ensures the reception of both stations, even in cases where the digital channels that KMSP and WFTC operate are not really receivable.

On June nineteen, 2014, KMSP-TV announced plans that, effective June 24, 2014, they would broadcast their 9.1 virtual channel via RF aqueduct 29 (with RF aqueduct 9 mapping to PSIP 9.9) to take advantage of its broader coverage area and let viewers with UHF-only antennas to receive the station in high definition.[64] The Minneapolis—St. Paul market is unique in that all three television duopolies in the market, which besides KMSP/WFTC, include Twin Cities PBS stations KTCA/KTCI and Hubbard Broadcasting's KSTP and KSTC, accept merged their various signals onto the same VHF PSIP aqueduct slots for easier viewer reference (with all simply KMSP-TV transmitting on UHF). KMSP and WFTC unified all of their over-the-air channels every bit virtual subchannels of KMSP. As a result, the PSIPs of WFTC changed to channel ix.

Analog-to-digital conversion [edit]

KMSP-TV originally broadcast its digital signal on UHF channel 26, which was remapped as virtual channel 9 on digital idiot box receivers through the apply of PSIP. The station shut down its analog signal, over VHF aqueduct 9, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power boob tube stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 26 to VHF channel 9 for post-transition operations.[65]

Dissemination facilities [edit]

The KMSP TV Tower is located in Shoreview, Minnesota. KMSP owns the belfry, which stands 1,466 feet (447 m) tall, merely shares it with sister station WFTC and the Twin Cities PBS stations, KTCA and KTCI. Several FM stations are also on the tower: KQRS-FM ("92 KQRS"), KXXR ("93X"), KTCZ ("Cities 97.1"), KTIS-FM, KSJN, KFXN-FM ("The Fan"), KDWB, KEEY ("K102"), KMNB ("102.9 The Wolf"), and KZJK ("104.one Jack FM").
