Has since stepped down from that position. Don Windham, the president of the choir group, said he was shocked by this incident and said why this person could not take the few steps to ask them who they were instead of posting this slandering text is beyond him. “An apology, which I understand has been made, it’s good enough by me. Hate for someone to ruin their life with whats going on, I feel bad for him. I would hope he would get in touch with me and learn about my church and what we do,” Herbe said.

Mind you, the letters were on an FM station in Charleston, South Carolina. Then WIIC general manager Jack McCarthy told the writer that it was customary for the station seeking letters already in use to pay for legal fees and stationary changes. The FM station in Charleston had requested a price the TV station thought was a little high. Had they not been attainable, WIIC would have remained. Meanwhile, the change was all about the station’s image.‘The station is under new management, new philosophy and new direction,” McCarthy explains. “It’s not the same Channel 11 and we feel a call letter change is one way to tell people of Pittsburgh it is, in fact, a new station.’WPXI was chosen he says, ‘because it says Pittsburgh 11’.Now, I may be a little thick in the head, but I studied those letters for a long time and all I got was ‘pixie.’ Press TV program clerk Mary Jane Gieche had to point out to me how WPXI says ‘Pittsburgh 11’. (See how long it takes you to figure it out.)WIIC’s problems long have been linked to a lack of audience identification. The past few years have been spent publicizing the ’11’ in WIIC. The campaign was successful enough to cause some folks who write me to spell WIIC as W11C – a spelling distortion that is questionable at best.”Barbara Holsopple, Pittsburgh Press (November 28,11 Investigates Exclusive: Examining - WPXI
On this day in 1957, WIIC-TV, Channel 11 signed on as Pittsburgh’s NBC affiliate. That was two years after it was supposed to sign on as the area’s CBS affiliate. Operating on the UHF Channel 16, WENS-TV took issue with the granting of the license to the owners of WIIC given that WENS had applied for Channel 11 to get on to the VHF spectrum. (I’m sure we’ve mentioned that conundrum several times over the years!)Original logo showing Channel 11 as the CBS affiliate. That never happened due to a challenge by WENS-TV.Had WIIC been the CBS affiliate, KDKA-TV (2) would have had NBC which would have made sense given the radio station’s long affiliation with NBC at the time. But CBS had the better ratings and no real place to call home exclusively and chose KDKA. But the move also required more shuffling. WIIC Incorporated was a venture of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who owned WWSW (970); and Pittsburgh Radio Supply House, who owned WJAS (1320). WJAS-AM and FM (99.7) had to be sold as a result and NBC bought them turning them into WAMP and WFMP respectively.Bill Cardille signed WIIC on the air that September 1, 1957 and remained with the station through the transition to WPXI in 1980 and well into the 1990s. His Chiller Theatre and work with the annual MDA Labor Day Telethon are stuff of legend and will be remembered for a long time.But wait a minute… why WPXI?
