[2]<\/a> Hearst incorporated broadcasting into its company in 1928, when they purchased WSOE radio in Milwaukee. The station also became the groundwork of WISN-TV. In 1948, after acquiring various stations across markets, Hearst launched WBAL-TV in Baltimore, WLWT-TV in Cincinnati, and WDSU-TV in New Orleans. These were some of the inaugural\u00a0\u00a0television stations in the nation. In 1953, Baltimore’s WBAL-TV was one of the first television stations to transmit in color, as well as launching the famous children’s show “Romper Room<\/a>,” [3]<\/a> that ran from the early 1950s to the\u00a01980s.\u00a0\u00a0Throughout the years, Hearst Broadcasting acquired more broadcasting stations across various markets. In 1981, WCVB-TV in Boston was declared “the best television station in America” by the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>. Hearst Broadcasting acquired Argyle Television Inc., which owned six stations at the time, for $320 million dollars<\/a>,[4]<\/a> forming Hearst-Argyle in 1997.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n
