WHOI (TV)
Encyclopedia
WHOI is the ABC
-affiliated television station
for West Central Illinois
licensed to Peoria
. It broadcasts a high definition
digital signal on UHF channel 19 from a transmitter on North Stewart Street in Creve Coeur
. Owned by Barrington Broadcasting
, the station is operated by the Granite Broadcasting Corporation
through joint sales
and shared services
agreements. This makes it sister to NBC
affiliate WEEK-TV
.
Both share studios on Springfield Road in East Peoria
along with Four Seasons Broadcasting-owned MyNetworkTV
affiliates WAOE
and low-powered WBQD-LP
. The latter has master control and some internal operations based at the Springfield Road facilities but technically serves the Quad Cities
area of Illinois
and Iowa
. Syndicated
programming on WHOI includes: Entertainment Tonight
, Extra
, Ellen
, and The Doctors
.
channel 4 (hence the CW 4 branding). WHOI-DT2 gets all of its programming from The CW Plus
.
. Its first studios were on North Madison Street in Downtown Peoria. Originally broadcasting an analog signal on VHF channel 8 , it was a primary CBS
affiliate but also carried shows from ABC and DuMont
. The latter ceased operations in 1955 and WTVH lost CBS when WMBD-TV
began broadcasting.
The Metropolitan Broadcasting Corporation, later known as Metromedia
, purchased the station in 1959. Four years later, WTVH was bumped down to UHF channel 19 so that a third commercial VHF station could sign-on in the Quad Cities
using that channel (the new station, WQAD-TV
, is also an ABC affiliate). In 1965, it was sold to the owners of WIRL-AM 1290 who changed the call sign to WIRL-TV. It became WRAU-TV in 1973 and adopted its present calls of WHOI in 1985. The call sign WTVH
was picked up by a channel in Syracuse, New York
around 1976.
In 1987, WHOI came under the ownership of Adams Communications following a merger with its previous owner, Forward Communications. The station was sold to Brissette Broadcasting in 1991 then to Benedek Broadcasting
in 1996. When Benedek merged with Gray Television
in 2002 following a Chapter 11
bankruptcy, WHOI was spun off to Chelsey Broadcasting.
Starting in 1998, it began to run a cable-only
WB affiliate. Known by the fictional call sign "WBPE", it was on channel 4 on most cable systems in the area. In April 2004, WHOI and KHQA-TV
in the Hannibal, Missouri
/Quincy, Illinois
media market
became two of the founding stations of current owner Barrington Broadcasting. On September 18, 2006, when The WB and UPN
merged to create The CW, "WBPE" became part of The CW Plus
which is a similar operation to The WB 100+. WHOI's digital signal added a new second digital subchannel to simulcast this programming to offer non-cable subscribers access to The CW. The channel then began to use WHOI-DT2 as its official calls.
On March 2, 2009, it was announced that the operations of WHOI and its CW subchannel would be taken over by WEEK-TV through joint sales and shared services agreements. Sixteen employees were transferred to WEEK-TV but as many as thirty were laid-off immediately while WHOI moved to that channel's studios. This left the five full-power commercial stations in the market operated by two entities. The WHOI and CW subchannel websites were immediately changed to redirects to WEEK-TV's web address. As part of the agreement, Granite-owned CBS
affiliate WTVH (which is the oldest television station in Syracuse) was folded into Barrington's NBC affiliate WSTM-TV
and low-powered CW affiliate WSTQ-LP
in a similar way on the same day.
On June 12, WHOI remained on channel 19 when the analog to digital conversion was completed with the "WHOI" calls being transferred from the now-defunct analog channel 19 to the new digital channel 19 and the "WHOI-DT" call sign from the pre-transition digital channel 40 being permanently discontinued. However, the PSIP
identifier still identifies the station's main channel on 19.1 as "WHOI-DT".
.
After the merger, four on-air staff were consolidated with WEEK-TV's news department and continue to be seen on-air. Otherwise, this station uses other staff from that station for all other content. WHOI's weeknight 5 and 6 o'clock broadcasts were replaced with one at 5:30. ABC World News was then moved to 6. That channel still airs a separate broadcast weeknights at 10. On weekends, the station simulcasts WEEK-TV although this may be pre-empted by ABC programming. The weekday local broadcasts on WHOI air from a new secondary set at WEEK-TV's studios.
On September 13, 2010, WHOI began airing a talk and lifestyle magazine show called Good Company. It airs weeknights at 5 from another secondary set. WEEK-TV does not air early evening news at 6 on Sundays but WHOI does. Both stations currently offer the area's only local newscasts in 16:9
widescreen
enhanced definition. Although not truly high definition, the broadcasts match the ratio of HD television screens. Like all CW Plus stations in the Central Time Zone
, WHOI-DT2 airs the nationally syndicated morning show The Daily Buzz
on weekdays from 5 to 8.
