History

On October 3, 1947, channel 7 began broadcasting as WTVW, owned by the Washington Star along with WMAL radio. It was the first high-band VHF station (channels 7-13) in the United States. A few months later, the station renamed itself WMAL-TV.

In 1976, Joseph L. Allbritton purchased the Washington Star, along with WMAL-AM-FM-TV. He sold the Star to Time, Inc. in 1978, and kept the WMAL stations. He later sold the radio stations to ABC and renamed the television station WJLA, after his initials.
