They do have a very powerful signal on digital channel 7. One could hope that someone is looking to buy WTVQ/Morris. (sorry I keep saying that haha). WTVQ is a very-distant third rating. They also have a 10PM news on DT2.

WTVQ 36 in 1990.

Over an hour of promos from WLEX 96-98. Some duplicates.

Wow. The weather graphics are exactly the same. Funny they tried to be like WTVQ... Doubt they are copying channel 36 these days. Can someone buy Morris?

Yep, I would agree. Someone could turn it around. Not sure if it helps to have Hearst & Raycom stations in Louisville, and a Scripps station up the road in Cincinnati. Nexstar already owns their tower. Sorry to get off topic.

I'd be okay with that, and then they would have to sell off WTVQ to someone else. 7 digital channels, two dual HD, the picture quality is pretty sad.

Are they capped out yet or is Nexstar hungry for buying more stations?

I believe when WDKY (FOX-56) came on as a FOX station in the late 80's was trying to take the ABC affiliation.

WTVQ 1989 - The model affiliate. When they were trying to keep their ABC affiliation.

Another WLEX meteorologist is headed down to Tampa and WFLA. They are two meteorologist short. https://www.facebook.com/IanOliverWX/posts/1044798952252187:0

A video and pictorial history of WTVQ-36, formerly WBLG-62 in Lexington, KY. Many people have been a part of the Channel 36 history and this video pays tribute to those that have been a part. Removing 62 transmitter and installing the ch. 36 transmitter Ice Storm 2003 Analog cutoff.

Some news clips from WKYT, WLEX, and WTVQ in the summer of 1993.

So Belo and Sinclair had a baby and this is what you get?

For sure, it was a lot of purple. Graphics, set and website. Purple.

Cool. WDSU looks A LOT better.

Just noticed this one. I wonder who copied who. WSDU or WLEX. WDSU open from 98 WLEX open Both had a triangle theme.
