11 Alive News was signed as WLTV on 30 September 1951 as ABC affiliate channel 8 and owned by a group of Atlanta businessmen. Cincinnati-based Crosley Broadcasting Corporation purchased the channel in 1953 and changed its call letters to WLWA. Crosley shifts the channel over-the-air frequency to channel 11 because of signal interference with WROM-TV (channel 9) in nearby Rome. WLWA was purchased by Indianapolis businessman Richard Fairbanks in 1962 as a joint agreement between Crosley and Fairbanks and changed its call signs as WAII-TV which stands for Atlanta’s 11(ii). In 1968 the channel was sold to Pacific & Southern Broadcasting and known as WQXI-TV. This company merged with Combined Communications and changed call letter’s WXIA-TV on December 25, 1973. The channel acquired 11 Alive branding in September 1976. The channel got NBC affiliation on 1 September 1980. On June 29, 2015, the Gannett Company split into two parts on 29 June 2015 and WXIA retained with Tegan .
