WYBE just sold the frequency for a pile of cash.

It would have mattered back when they were handing out the VHF licenses, because most TV sets had poor UHF reception. Were Channel 12 not licensed to Wilmington, Delaware would have had no VHF TV station. Given that, I wonder why the FCC granted the waiver? WHYY went on the air on that channel in 1955, IIRC.

WHYY was doing Lidia & a home repair show & I think something else when Paul Gluck was there.
