 Launched as "HomeTown TV 48", it carried a wide variety of locally produced programming including a trivia quiz game show ("Trivia in Toledo", or "TnT", hosted by Jerry Millen); a current affairs and political program ("High Level Views", hosted by Chuck Schmitt); "Neighbor Talk", an interview-driven talk show hosted by general manager Bob Moore, and featuring local guests talking about topics ranging from political issues to hobbies; a nightly auction program featuring products from local merchants and hosted by Douglas Goff; broadcasts of entertainment acts from local fairs and festivals; a weekly auto and boat sale program called "Wheels, Keels, and Deals" and a spin-off called "Homes for Sale", featuring local real property and hosted by Bob DuParis; a children's series called "Abracadabra" featuring games, activities, and ventriloquism; a variety show hosted by long-time actor and singer Johnny Ginger; local high school football and basketball games (several each week); as well as other specials and series.Programming during non-prime hours was provided by FamilyNet (later seen in Toledo on WLMB), which featured classic movies and religious programs.Although W48AP was widely recognized as a pioneer of community-oriented low-power television (LPTV), it suffered initially in its bid for cable TV carriage, as the local cable systems did not generally grant LPTV stations space on their networks.
