'''WISE-TV''' (channel 33) is a [[television station]] in [[Fort Wayne, Indiana]], United States, affiliated with [[The CW Plus]]. It is owned by [[Gray Television]] alongside [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]/[[NBC]]/[[MyNetworkTV]] affiliate [[WPTA]] (channel 21). The two stations share studios on Butler Road in [[List of neighborhoods in Fort Wayne, Indiana|Northwest Fort Wayne]], where WISE-TV's transmitter is also located.

WISE-TV originally operated as an NBC affiliate from its establishment through 2016, where as the result of Quincy Media's acquisition of WPTA (which had previously been operated by WISE's former owner, [[Granite Broadcasting]], as part of a shared services agreement), the NBC affiliation became the property of Quincy and was moved to WPTA's second digital subchannel in exchange for its CW affiliation.

==History==
===WISE-DT1===
The station was founded on November 21, 1953, with the call letters WKJG-TV. It was the first television station in Fort Wayne and affiliated with NBC. The station was owned by William Kunkel, owner of ''[[The Journal Gazette]]'' newspaper (with both entities forming the [[call signs in North America|call letters]]), WKJG radio ([[WKJG|AM 1380]] and FM 97.3), and other television stations. On September 30, 1971, the radio stations were sold. Their call letters became WMEE and WMEF-FM respectively. Today, the FM station has the calls [[WMEE]]. The AM station went through a variety of call signs including WQHK, WHWD, and WONO. It went back to the original WKJG on November 3, 2003, and to this day, is Fort Wayne's [[ESPN Radio]] affiliate. However, both radio stations are owned by a different company and have no connection with the television station. The first person seen on television in Fort Wayne was [[Hilliard Gates]], who served as the station's general manager and sports director until his retirement in 1990. John Siemer, a newscaster and announcer at the station, was known at that time as "Engineer John" who introduced cartoons.

For a time, WKJG-TV was owned by [[Terre Haute]] industrialist [[Tony Hulman]], best known as the longtime owner of the [[Indianapolis Motor Speedway]]. Hulman owned other television stations in Indiana, [[WTHI-TV]] in Terre Haute and [[WNDY-TV]] in [[Indianapolis]]. When Hulman died in 1977, Joseph R. Cloutier, a longtime Hulman employee, took over the station. After Cloutier's death, a trust fund called the Corporation for General Trade was formed, with Cloutier's son Joseph A. Cloutier as majority owner with a 51% stake. That company continued to own WKJG-TV until it was sold in 2003.

On January 13, 2003, the Corporation for General Trade was sold for $20 million to [[New Vision Television]]. The station changed its call letters to the current WISE-TV on May 26 to celebrate its 50th anniversary. A new transmitter with a stronger signal and new high definition options was installed on the tower. The station was sold again in March 2005 to [[Granite Broadcasting]] for $44.2 million. Granite sold ABC affiliate WPTA to [[Malara Broadcast Group]] for $45.3 million. A local marketing agreement was established that called for Granite to provide operation services to WPTA as well as for Malara's other new station, [[KDLH]] in [[Duluth, Minnesota]]. Malara filed its [[Securities and Exchange Commission]] reports jointly with Granite, which led to allegations that Granite used Malara as a [[shell corporation]] to evade the [[Federal Communications Commission]]'s (FCC) rules on [[duopoly (broadcasting)|duopolies]]. The FCC does not allow common ownership of two of the four largest stations in a single market. Additionally, Fort Wayne has only six full-power stations, too few to allow duopolies in any case.

On January 24, 2006, [[The WB]] and [[UPN]] announced that they would end broadcasting and merge. The new combined network would be called [[The CW]]. The letters would represent the first initial of its corporate parents, [[CBS Corporation|CBS]] (the parent company of UPN) and the [[Warner Bros.]] unit of [[WarnerMedia|Time Warner]]. On February 22, [[News Corporation]] announced that they would start up another new network called MyNetworkTV. This new service, which would be a sister network to [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]], would be operated by [[Fox Television Stations]] and its syndication division, [[20th Television]]. MyNetworkTV was created in order to give UPN and WB stations, not mentioned as becoming CW affiliates, another option besides becoming [[independent station|independent]]. It was also created to compete against The CW. CBS affiliate WANE-TV aired UPN on a second digital subchannel. The Fort Wayne affiliate of The WB was cable-only "[[WPTA-DT2|WBFW]]" which was part of [[The WB 100+]]. The station was co-owned with WPTA by Malara Broadcasting. It was announced in March 2006 that WBFW would affiliate with The CW via [[The CW Plus]] (a similar operation to The WB 100+). WPTA decided to create a new second digital sub-channel to simulcast WBFW and offer access to CW programming for over-the-air viewers. On September 18, The CW debuted on WBFW (which became officially known as having the WPTA-DT2 calls). The station became known on-air as "Fort Wayne's CW". 

On September 5, WISE-TV moved [[NBC Weather Plus]] from its second digital subchannel in order for it to become the area's affiliate of [[MyNetworkTV]]. Weather Plus then began airing on WISE-TV's third digital subchannel.

After emerging from bankruptcy in the summer of 2007, Granite stock was taken over by Silver Point Capital of [[Greenwich, Connecticut]], a privately owned hedge fund. Silver Point immediately set about breaking up the company; many of its stations laid off employees or cut salaries up to 20%. 

On February 11, 2014, [[Quincy Newspapers]] agreed to purchase WPTA from the Malara Broadcast Group as part of a deal to purchase Granite Broadcasting's stations in four markets (the other stations were [[KBJR-TV]] in [[Superior, Wisconsin]], and its satellite KRII in [[Chisholm, Minnesota]], [[WEEK-TV]] in [[Peoria, Illinois]], and [[WBNG-TV]] in [[Binghamton, New York]]). The WISE-TV license would be acquired by [[SagamoreHill Broadcasting]]; however, WPTA (which would be acquired by Quincy outright, making it the senior partner in the Fort Wayne duopoly) would operate WISE-TV through a shared services agreement.<ref name=tvnc-saletoquincy>((cite news|title=Quincy Buying Stations From Granite, Malara|url=http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/74018/quincy-buying-stations-from-granite-malara|access-date=February 11, 2014|newspaper=TVNewsCheck|date=February 11, 2014))</ref> In a presentation submitted to the FCC in August 2014, Quincy said that the existing joint sales agreement would be terminated, allowing WISE-TV its own sales staff, and that it would spend $2 million on the construction of a new studio facility at the WPTA site, after which both stations would produce competing live newscasts.<ref>[https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101648128&qnum=5120&copynum=1&exhcnum=2] (Referenced p. 43)</ref> In November 2014, the deal was reworked to remove SagamoreHill from the transaction; Quincy will now acquire WISE, with WPTA remaining with Malara.<ref name=fcc-wisenosagamorehill>((cite web|title=Application For Consent To Assignment Of Broadcast Station Construction Permit Or License|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1654085&Service=DT&Form_id=314&Facility_id=13960|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|access-date=November 25, 2014))</ref>

In July 2015, the deal was reworked yet again to have SagamoreHill acquire WISE, while the SSA between WISE and WPTA (owned by Quincy) would be wound down within nine months of its closure.

===WISE-DT2===

[[File:WISE-TV Fox Logo.png|200px|thumb|left|Previous logo used from 2011 until March 1, 2013.]]
Originally established in 2005, WISE-DT2 was part of NBC Weather Plus and known on-air as "Indiana's NewsCenter Weather Plus". The 24-hour weather channel provided local and national weather forecasts. On January 24, 2006, The CW network was established.<ref>[https://money.cnn.com/2006/01/24/news/companies/cbs_warner/ 'Gilmore Girls' meet 'Smackdown'; CW Network to combine WB, UPN in CBS-Warner venture beginning in September], [[CNNMoney.com]], January 24, 2006.</ref><ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/business/media/24cnd-network.html?bl UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network], ''[[The New York Times]]'', January 24, 2006.</ref> On February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced the launch of a new "sixth" network called MyNetworkTV.<ref>((cite news|title=News Corp. to launch new mini-network for UPN stations|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-02-22-fox-my-network_x.htm|access-date=January 21, 2013|newspaper=[[USA Today]]|date=February 22, 2006))</ref><ref>[http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/102922-News_Corp_Unveils_My_Network_TV.php News Corp.

CBS affiliate WANE-TV (channel 15) offered UPN on its second digital subchannel, while The WB was affiliated with cable-only "WBFW" (with programming provided through The WB 100+, and promotional and advertising services provided by WPTA). On September 5, 2006, WISE-TV moved NBC Weather Plus programming to its third digital subchannel in order for WISE-DT2 to become the area's MyNetworkTV affiliate. The move—along with "WBFW" affiliating with The CW (with the channel being carried on WPTA's second digital subchannel) on September 18—resulted in the deactivation of WANE's second digital subchannel, which remained dark until it affiliated with TheCoolTV in 2010.

In June 2011, it was announced that WISE-DT2 would join Fox beginning August 1, 2011, taking the affiliation from then-current outlet [[WFFT-TV]] (owned by the [[Nexstar Broadcasting Group]]). The switch was the result of a dispute over [[retransmission consent]] fees between Nexstar and Fox. Upon the switch, the station shifted MyNetworkTV to secondary status on WISE-DT2 and began airing the two-hour weeknight programming block from 10:30&nbsp;p.m. until 12:30&nbsp;a.m. The first Fox program to air on WISE-DT2 was ''[[Hell's Kitchen (American TV series)|Hell's Kitchen]]''. With the addition of high definition capabilities to this station, WISE-DT3 (which featured 24-hour national [[NBC Plus]] [successor to NBC Weather Plus] and local "The [[Volumetric Imaging and Processing of Integrated Radar|VIPIR]] Channel" weather programming) moved to WPTA's third digital subchannel (currently home to ''Indiana's NewsCenter Now''). It is unknown if the two services will be merged in any way or if one will be dropped. The station was upgraded to a 720p high definition signal on June 27.<ref name=tvnc-wisedt2fox>((cite news|title=Fox Moves Afills In Springfield, Ft.

On July 25, 2011, Nexstar Broadcasting filed an antitrust lawsuit against Granite Broadcasting, claiming the latter company tried to monopolize advertising sales through its shared services agreement with WPTA (owned by Malara Broadcast Group) and the five network affiliations that were shared between WPTA and WISE at the time. (WPTA already carried ABC and CW programming, while in addition to the Fox and MyNetworkTV programming on its second digital subchannel, NBC is carried on WISE-TV's primary channel). Nexstar sought a judgment that would force either WPTA or WISE-TV to give up at least one of the three Big Four affiliations it had.<ref>[http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/2011/07/25/52738/nexstar-files-antitrust-suit-against-granite Nexstar Files Antitrust Suit Against Granite], ''TVNewsCheck'', July 25, 2011.</ref> This lawsuit was settled on February 5, 2013, resulting in a reversal of the 2011 switch as Fox agreed to bring that network's local affiliation back to WFFT; Fox programming moved to WFFT from WISE-DT2 on March 1, with MyNetworkTV once again becoming the subchannel's sole network affiliation.<ref name=b&c-wfftfoxback>((cite news|last=Malone|first=Michael|title=Nexstar's WFFT Fort Wayne Back in Fox Fold|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/491739-Nexstar_s_WFFT_Fort_Wayne_Back_in_Fox_Fold.php|access-date=February 6, 2013|newspaper=[[Broadcasting & Cable]]|date=February 6, 2013))</ref> The last Fox program to air on WISE-DT2 was ''[[American Idol]]'' on February 28.

==News operation==
((see|WPTA#News operation))
Although WISE-TV was the senior partner in the agreement, Granite moved the combined operation to WPTA's studios. Also, the combined operation's news staff consisted mainly of WPTA holdovers. As a result, 57 employees of WISE-TV (including both on-air personalities and production staff) were fired. Granite kept longtime weeknight anchor Linda Jackson to help smooth over the transition. (Jackson was promoted to morning anchor at WPTA in 2012; former sports reporter Kent Hormann later returned to WISE-TV as an anchor.) Viewers did not react favorably and much of the negative feedback was given in "The Rant" section of ''[[The News-Sentinel]]'' where readers voiced their opinions. Many people were upset about the breakup of the news team especially the firing of meteorologist Greg Shoup. However, he was quickly hired by [[WANE-TV]] where he is currently the weekday morning and afternoon meteorologist. Until 2013, newscasts on WISE-TV were practically identical to those on WPTA, which adopted ''Indiana's NewsCenter'' as a news brand for both stations. When the stations upgraded to high definition in the fall of 2012, the [[INC NOW|INC]] brand was retired and WISE-TV simulcast WPTA newscasts in the interim. On March 4, 2013, WISE-TV began producing its own newscast format from a secondary set adjacent to the WPTA newsroom studio. Prior to the NBC affiliation moving to WPTA-DT2, WISE-TV aired the 6 a.m. hour of WOWO ([[WOWO (AM)|1190 AM]] and [[WFWI|92.3 FM]])'s morning show, ''Fort Wayne's Morning News'',<ref name=aa-wowoonwise>((cite news|title=WOWO's Morning News To Get TV Simulcast|url=http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/121417/wowo-s-morning-news-to-get-tv-simulcast|access-date=March 7, 2014|newspaper=All Access|date=August 19, 2013))</ref> as well as its own newscasts at 4, 6, and 11 p.m. The station did not air midday or weekend newscasts; the 4 p.m. newscast was dropped shortly before the transition.

When Granite acquired WISE-TV in 2005, the station began airing a weeknight newscast at 7 which was the first and only one in the state of [[Indiana]]. On September 11, 2006, this newscast was replaced with an extra episode of ''[[Dr. Phil (talk show)|Dr. Phil]]'' due to low ratings. Starting back on July 24, WISE-TV began airing a weeknight 10 o'clock newscast on its second digital subchannel that was an affiliate of NBC Weather Plus. With the addition of "My TV Fort Wayne" on its second digital subchannel and "Fort Wayne's CW" on WPTA's [[WPTA#WPTA-DT2|second]] digital subchannel, the newscast moved over to those stations. Quincy Media plans to relaunch a slate of NBC affiliate newscasts on WPTA-DT2 in the fall of 2016 from a new studio. The ''Indiana's NewsCenter'' newscasts were moved to WPTA-DT2 (which later relaunched a full slate of newscasts as ''Fort Wayne's NBC News'' on DT2). As a CW affiliate, WISE-TV airs no newscasts whatsoever.

===Notable former on-air staff===
* [[Dick Florea]] – news director and anchor in the 1970s and 1980s and Editor's Desk host (retired in 2001 after 35 years)
* [[Janette Luu]] – former anchor and reporter from 1998 to 2003 (later with [[CKXT-DT|CKXT-TV (SUN TV)]] in [[Toronto]])
* [[Charles Pugh]] – former anchor and reporter, Detroit Fox Anchor & City Council Member, now embroiled in sex abuse case
