Hearst-Argyle
Encyclopedia
Hearst Television, Inc. is a broadcasting company in the United States
, owned by the New York City
-based Hearst Corporation
. It holds joint ventures in television production with NBC Universal Television Distribution
(although most of the stations it owns are affiliated with ABC
). From 1998 to mid-2009, the company traded its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "HTV."
Hearst-Argyle was formed in 1997 with the merger of Hearst Corporation's broadcasting division and stations owned by Argyle Television Holdings II, which is partially related to the company of the same name who (in 1994) sold its stations to New World Communications
, stations that eventually became Fox
-owned stations.
In terms of audience reach, Hearst is the largest group owner of ABC
-affiliated stations, and the second-largest group owner of NBC
affiliates. Hearst-owned ABC affiliates in National Football League

games from ESPN
that involve these teams - ESPN is 20% owned by Hearst, the rest being owned by ABC's parent, the Walt Disney Company
. Other Hearst-owned stations also carry ESPN-aired NFL games, even though they are affiliated with other networks (like WBAL-TV
, Baltimore's NBC affiliate).
In June 2009, the Hearst Corporation announced that it would purchase substantially all of the stock not held by Hearst. Hearst-Argyle Television then dropped "Argyle" from its name and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hearst Corporation.
and its satellites in Hawaii
, which had already completed their transition to digital) would comply with the new DTV transition date of June 12, 2009.
Currently, a total of 26 television stations: ten NBC affiliates, thirteen ABC affiliates, two CBS
affiliates, one CW
affiliate and one MyNetworkTV
affiliate. The company also manages one ABC station, one CW affiliate and one independent station (all of which are owned by a separate, indirect subsidiary of Hearst), and two radio stations (both owned directly by Hearst).
All Hearst-owned stations uses "Project Economy" during most business segments. In addition, all Hearst-owned stations also use the "Commitment" banner for all political news coverage leading up to the local, national, and statewide elections in lieu of a localized version of the network's political segment.
As of Spring 2010, parent company Hearst Corporation is in the process of merging KCWE
and the Baltimore radio stations directly into Hearst Television. This move would result in these three station properties being "owned" rather than "managed" by Hearst Television.
In December 2010, KSBW
announced that it would add ABC to its multicast lineup, broadcasting NBC on its primary subchannel and ABC on its secondary subchannel. KSBW-DT2
would represent the 14th affiliation with ABC and the only station to have all of its subchannels broadcast in high definition, all while being owned by Hearst.
Notes:
1This station has been managed by Hearst since its sign-on in 1996 and was owned by an indirect subsidiary of Hearst from 2006 until Hearst Television acquired it outright in 2010.
2This station has begun ABC programming on April 18, 2011, taking over the defunct Weather Plus on its second digital subchannel.
Notes:
In addition to the above, Hearst-Argyle never owned WZZM or WGRZ. Those two stations were divested by one of the company's predecessors, Argyle Television Holdings II, several months prior to the merger with Hearst Broadcasting. The "years owned" information reflects the years of ownership by Argyle Television Holdings II. And WDTN was the only formerly owned television station that was owned directly by Hearst prior to the merger.
