Indiana's News Center - History

History

Indiana's NewsCenter, began on March 9, 2005 but not completed until November 29, 2005, is a collective name for newscasts for the Fort Wayne, Indiana area's NBC, ABC, Fox and The CW-affiliated stations all operated or owned by Granite Broadcasting. It was originated from newscasts produced by ABC affiliate WPTA-TV (channel 21), but now provides content for all of the channels listed above.

After NBC affiliate WISE-TV (channel 33) was sold to Granite Broadcasting in March 2005, Granite maintained operations at WPTA through a local marketing agreement (LMA). WISE-TV's newscasts are now very similar to WPTA's newscasts and generally have the same anchors and reporting staff. Slow changes to WPTA were made and now a multi-channel format is in place called Indiana's NewsCenter. Now all of the newscasts on these channels have the same look, except one anchor (Linda Jackson) from the original WISE-TV that still currently appears only on WISE-TV. To make clearer which channel each newscast is on, INC's logo is rotated with the respective station's logo.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
