History
In December 1974, plans were announced for a new television station to broadcast on channel 15, following a channel allocation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The proposed station would operate with a signal strength of 100,000 watts and be broadcast from a 1,500 ft tower, which would have been the tallest broadcast tower in the area at the time. It was intended to serve the Greenville area. Although the specific timeline for launching the station was not disclosed, preliminary plans aimed for it to begin broadcasting and serving the Delta area by 1976, with studios located in Greenville and the transmitter positioned northeast of the city.[1] On October 1, 1976, an application was submitted to operate a new television station on channel 15 in Greenville. The studios were to be located on US 82 East in Greenville, while the transmitter would be positioned 1.9 mi southeast of O'Reilly, Mississippi. The height of the transmitter was reduced due to a dispute with the town of Cleveland, with concerns about potential hazards for planes approaching the Bolivar County Airport. In January 1980, the station was announced to become the new CBS
