WTAC-TV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WTAC-TV was a UHF TV station which was located in Flint, Michigan. It operated on channel 16 and went on the air on Thanksgiving Day of 1953. It was owned by the Trendle-Campbell Broadcasting Company which was a partnership of George W. Trendle (creator of The Lone Ranger) and H. Allen Campbell which also owned WTAC(AM) which is now WSNL(AM) in Flint. It was affiliated with ABC-TV and DuMont. The TV station went out of business less than a year later because too few TVs at the time were equipped to receive UHF channels. The broadcast tower was destroyed in a 1956 tornado. The WTAC-TV studios became the WJRT-TV studios in 1958.
