Controversy surrounding the original WCKT license
The original channel 7 license awarded to Biscayne Television became the subject of appeals, congressional scrutiny, and FCC review because of alleged ethical violations and possible conflicts involving the application process, newspaper ownership, and former NBC executive Niles Trammell. The license was ultimately revoked, leading to Sunbeam's relaunch of the station under a new license.
