    WPST-TV license bribery controversy

    The predecessor station WPST-TV became embroiled in allegations that an FCC commissioner and an attorney had used bribery and influence-peddling to secure the channel 10 license. Investigations led to the license’s revocation in 1960. WPLG began later as a replacement operation rather than as a direct continuation of the revoked license.
