dbo:abstract
  • WJMY-TV, UHF analog channel 20, was an independent television station serving Detroit, Michigan, United States that was licensed to Allen Park. The station operated from October 7, 1962, to June 10, 1963. The station was the second to operate on channel 20 in southeastern Michigan; the channel had previously been home to Ann Arbor-based WPAG-TV in the 1950s. After ceasing operations, the station was acquired by United Broadcasting Company, which was able to secure new technical facilities but lacked the capital to build the studio or launched the station. United sold the construction permit to the owners of WXON, which operated on channel 62, in June 1972; WXON moved to channel 20 on the WJMY construction permit that December. For many years, it was widely believed that WJMY never made it to the air at all except for a test signal consisting merely of a card displaying its calls and city-of-license in 1968. Additional research by Victor Edward Swanson and K. M. Richards in 2015, however, revealed this to be incorrect: WJMY was actually on the air for just over eight months in 1962-63. (en)
