WOOK-TV (known as WFAN-TV from 1968 to 1972), UHF analog channel 14, was an independent television station licensed to Washington, D.C., United States, which operated from March 5, 1963, to February 12, 1972. It was the first television station in the United States to orient its entire programming to an African-American audience, along the lines of co-owned WOOK radio. Mounting license troubles for the United Broadcasting station group, economic difficulties faced by independent and UHF stations, and an inability to upgrade channel 14's facilities to be competitive in the market led to the closure of WFAN-TV on February 12, 1972.
