WJLA-TV ("Washington's ABC7") is the local ABC television affiliate in Washington, DC, and is located on channel 7 (digital channel 39). Its transmitter is located in the Tenleytown section of Washington.
The station is owned by the Allbritton Communications Company, along with local cable station News Channel 8. The two stations share broadcast facilities in Arlington, Virginia.
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.
