The Parallels Between Best Buy and Circuit City
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After several decades as the electronics retail leader, Circuit City was forced into bankruptcy as Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) seemed to always be one-step ahead, stealing market share year after year. What was a big part of Circuit City's demise were its management and real estate issues. Circuit City lagged in getting into the gaming market and prematurely dumped its appliance-product segment. Best Buy was on top of the world as Circuit City was closing its doors in 2008, generating some $1.59 billion in free cash flow in the year following Circuit City's demise.
When Circuit City went bankrupt in 2008, Best Buy was expected to become the premier electronics retailer. Poor management, specifically inventory management, helped Circuit spiral out of control. The company was not liquid enough to buy new and popular products and the commercial paper market turned its back on the struggling retailer. In Circuit City's final fiscal year its quick ratio was only 0.4, but Best Buy's is 0.3 for its most recent quarter. The real estate problem for Circuit City steamed from its store locations, which were in inconvenient locations for customers. Just as Circuit City hiccuped on its locations and product offerings, Best Buy has lagged major e-tailer Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) in improving its online presence. The fear is that Best Buy could fall to the same fate as Circuit City.
There is no doubt Best Buy still attracts some solid hedge fund interest, especially when its pays a 4.8% dividend yield and continues to have high free cash flow. The likes of Jeffery Vinik, Legg Mason's Bill Miller, Adage Capital, D.E. Shaw and Israel Englander were all upping their stakes in Best Buy during 3Q 2012. Billionaire Ray Dalio was one one of the major hedge funds that dumped shares of Best Buy (check out Ray Dalio's big sells).
In looking at the numbers, during the three years leading up to the Circuit City bankruptcy the company produced net income and free cash flow of:
Circuit City |
2006 |
2007 |
2008 |
Net Income |
$140 million |
-$8 million |
-$320 million |
Free Cash Flow |
$101 million |
$35 million |
-$355 million |
The Best Buy trends are similar on a net income basis, but the retailer has still managed to generate very large amounts of free cash flow:
Best Buy |
2009 |
2010 |
2011 |
Net Income |
$1.32 billion |
$1.28 billion |
-$1.23 billion |
Free Cash Flow |
$1.59 billion |
$0.45 billion |
$2.53 billion |
Taking a longer-term view, Best Buy went from generating only $574 million in free cash flow in FY2008 to $2.2 billion in free cash flow over the last twelve months—a 280% increase. Over the last twelve months the earnings loses have continued to pile up, with Best Buy managing to lose $1.5 billion (TTM), but generate some $2.2 billion in free cash flow (TTM). Although its dividend is relatively high at 4.8%, it appears to be well covered: the current annual dividend payment comes out to $0.68 per share, compared to the $6.48 of free cash flow per share (TTM) and $2 per share of cash on hand.
The other big electronics retailer is GameStop (NYSE: GME). The real estate footprint is much smaller for GameStop, where the retailer has more diversity in its locations - being able to pop up in strip malls with ease. The retailer is up 20% year to date despite a 2012-holiday season that was worse than 2011. GameStop posted 4.4% lower total same-store sales and 4.6% lower total global sales. GameStop has a high level of short interest but is still loved by billionaires, including Ken Griffin and Steve Cohen (check out Steve Cohen's top picks).
Best Buy has shown some glimmers of hope of late; ComScore listed the company as one of the top three most trafficked websites for the Thanksgiving holiday and Black Friday, and Experian ranked the company's site as the number three-retail site on Cyber Monday. Its revenue was, however, relatively flat year over year—a positive compared to GameStop's performance. On the other hand, Wall Street does expect GameStop to outperform on an earnings basis over the long-term, and the retailer pays a similar dividend as Best Buy.

4.3% |
P/E (forward earnings) |
5.8x |
6.7x |
5-Year EPS Growth (expected) |
-8% |
3% |
The great brick-n-mortar slayer, Amazon, will continue to wreak havoc on both Best Buy and GameStop. The online commerce company shows no signs of letting up. Market share gains will come from new offerings, including its tablet (Kindle Fire), which make purchasing and shopping with Amazon even easier and more convenient. Amazon Prime is another on of its services that is making shoppers' lives easier. Billionaire Ken Fisher – founder of Fisher Asset Management – is the top fund manager owning Amazon (check out Ken Fisher's newest picks).
In late December Best Buy founder Richard Schulze extended his time frame for making a buyout offer for the retailer. Schulze's initial offer came in at $24-$26 per share, but much uncertainty remains over whether he can put together the necessary funding. Now that the stock is trading below $15 per share it is unlikely that Schulze would still be willing to pay such a premium. Best Buy going bankrupt is very unlikely; its free cash flow generation is much more robust and its real estate portfolio is not under siege like Circuit City's. Yet, we would remain cautious on jumping into Best Buy shares given the uncertainty of its ability to pivot its business model and questionable ability of Schulze to raise the needed capital to take the retailer private.

To address these issues, MIT Medical provides new arrivals with a vibrant, welcoming community in the form of its Spouses & Partners program. On Nov. 1, the program celebrated its 40th anniversary at a reception in the Bush Room, with a convivial atmosphere that gave members a chance to mingle, sample food from a variety of countries, and celebrate their successes. "Spouses & Partners continues to support MIT's culture of inclusivity and excellence by helping people warmly assimilate here," said Christine Ortiz, MIT's dean for graduate education. "You help make MIT a home for everyone."
Making connections
Spouses & Partners, originally known as The MIT Wives' Group, was created in 1972 by Dr. Charlotte Schwartz, then a psychologist and researcher at MIT Medical. When psychiatrist-in-chief Dr. Merton Kahne asked her to develop programs for international members of the MIT community, she interviewed international students, visiting scientists and their wives to identify their greatest concerns and needs. She found that the wives were the group with the fewest available supports. "We wanted to draw on our resources to help women make the connections that would allow them to feel comfortable in a new place," she said at the reception. That meant establishing weekly meetings for spouses, creating groups based on interests and hobbies, and linking the women to support services, from language classes to childcare.
Something for everyone
Today, the program remains much the same — with a few key changes. The new name better represents MIT's inclusivity, while an increased focus on members' professional interests allows them to hone their skills and stretch their network within a new country. "For me, Spouses & Partners isn't just about meeting people," explained Sevdalena Lazarova, who arrived at MIT from Bulgaria nearly seven years ago when her husband began classes. "I had a background in software development but didn't have a work visa. I could volunteer to help create the program's website, which gave me valuable professional experience in the U.S."
Members also enjoy the emotional support Spouses & Partners provides, whether that means connecting with those with similar backgrounds, learning about a new culture together, or forming friendships that last even after they leave MIT.
"I am honored that you have shared your stories with me and that I have had the chance to witness and support your experience here at MIT," said Jennifer Recklet Tassi, the program's manager, speaking to group members during her keynote. "I am continually amazed by your bravery and your resilience in the face of so many challenges, and your willingness to share your time, talents, and energy with the MIT community and with each other."

Product SafeGuard Easy multi-platform 4.40.2 Client OS Windows 2000 Professional SP4, Windows XP SP2 Professional Edition Server OS Windows 2003 Standard Edition Question What is a Bootable Rescue Image and how to use it? Answer The SafeGuard Easy Bootable Rescue Image offers a full SafeGuard Easy Emergency Disk which is bootable as well. In addition, the SafeGuard Easy Emergency Disk Wizard will give you the option of creating a bootable start floppy that includes a system kernel, Emergency Tools and driver files for the keyboard layout. This is an easy way of combining a boot floppy and a SafeGuard Easy emergency floppy. It offers exactly the same features as the Emergency Disk. The main difference is, that it provides you the possibility to create an kernel backup and keyboard drivers automatically on the disk, which is also bootable. There will be no difference although you choose the Emergency Disk or the Bootable Rescue Image, the functionalities of the Emergency Tools will stay the same. How to create a bootable emergency floppy with the SafeGuard Easy Emergency Disk Wizard Since version 4.20 of SafeGuard Easy, the option for creating a bootable startfloppy is active from initio. - Start the Emergency Disk Wizard - Select the "Create start floppy with SafeGuard Easy emergency files and save kernel." - The Emergency Disk Wizard creates a bootable start floppy including the system kernel and SafeGuard Easy emergency files. How to create a bootable emergency CD Nowadays, mobile devices like notebooks no longer have floppy devices. For this reason we have also made it possible for you to start SafeGuard Easy from a CD in case of emergency. - Save the boot image file (Boot.iso) to the hard disk and use any commercially-available CD burner to save the file to CD (option "create CD from image" or similar). The ISO file contains the entire boot floppy , as it was created by the Emergency Disk Wizard, apart from the system kernel backup. Please note: This version of the Bootable Emergency Image is designed for SafeGuard Easy 4.40.2. You may find the Bootable Rescue Image or the Emergency Disks for older/other versions in our public knowledge database (e.g. keyword: Emergency Disk or Rescue Image).

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
*Ephesus (EF-ah-sas). Ancient Greek port city in Asia Minor that was later the capital of Roman Asia; it is now an archaeological site near Smyrna in Turkey. Elizabethans were familiar with Ephesus from the New Testament, and as an ancient seaport and location of the temple of Artemis (Diana to the Romans), which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The commercial pagan center for the cult of Diana became a place of Christian conversion in the first century.
While St. Paul was living in Ephesus, he wrote his Epistle to the Ephesians, which makes strong statements about marriage and domestic relations—themes that are at the core of Shakespeare's play. St. Paul described Ephesus as a place of sorcery and exorcists—a description that match's the play's depiction of the city as a "town full of cozenage" with "sorcerers" and "witches." It is an apt location for the farcical confusions that arise from the twin masters (Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Ephesus) and twin servants (Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus); Doctor Pinch tries to exorcise Satan and cure madness. In contrast, Aegeon accepts the enmity between Ephesus and Syracuse and his sentence of death. Only humility and submission to God's will suffice in a world of human errors.
The play features four locations within Ephesus: the houses of Antipholus of Ephesus (Phoenix), the courtesan, and the Priory; and the street—a fluid space for the frenetic encounters in which identities are mistaken as all assume acquaintance and prior actions. The setting was especially effective on Elizabethan stages, which had large open spaces with two pillars, entry doors, and an upper stage.
*Syracuse. City in southeast Sicily founded by Greeks in the eighth century b.c.e. At the time in which this play is set, Syracuse and Ephesus were enemies and it was forbidden for citizens of one land to journey to the other—a point around which the play's plot revolves. The penalty for the crime was execution or a payment of a thousand marks. Aegeon, a merchant of Syracuse who has recently traveled to Ephesus, is to be put to death because he cannot raise the thousand marks.

Posted: 8:32 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011
By Jamie Dupree
For much of this year, the story line in the Congress has been how the Democratic Senate and the Republican House have been unable to agree on a host of measure, especially when it comes to jobs.
You might not realize it, but outside of the debate over the Obama jobs bill, that's changed in recent weeks.
Yes, the big headlines have been about the filibuster of the President's jobs bill in the Senate, where both parties are pointing the finger of blame at each other - but when you look at what's happened since Labor Day in the Congress, the record tells a different story.
"These agreements will support tens of thousands of jobs across the country for workers making products stamped with three proud words: Made in America," the President said earlier this month.
It was proof that while we focus on the high profile political battles, there is truly room for bipartisan cooperation on certain issues.
These trade deals drew more votes from Republicans in the House with stronger bipartisan majorities in the Senate.
Critics argued in vain that the trade deals would actually suck jobs out of the U.S., not improve economic fortunes here.
"Anyone who says the two parties can't agree on anything isn't really telling the whole story," said Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell.

Bioneer's AccuPrep® PCR Purification Kit allows rapid purification of DNA fragments (dsDNA and ssDNA) from PCR products and other enzymatic reactions. Purification of up to 10 µg of DNA fragments from PCR and other enzymatic products within 5 minutes with > 90% recovery are routine with the AccuPrep PCR Purification Kit. Size range is 100 bp - 10 kb, so common 20 - 40 mer oligonucleotides are easily removed. Elution volume can be as little as 30 μl when concentrated product is needed. With Bioneer's PCR cleanup protocol, removal of mineral oil is not necessary. The principle of the AccuPrep PCR Purification Kit is based on the adsorption of DNA in glass filter. Chaotropic salt enhances the binding of DNA onto a glass filter that is fixed in the AccuPrep binding column tube. Adsorption of DNA is very selective so that other proteins and salts are not adsorbed and pass through the glass filter. Washing eliminates salts and other proteins that may bind non-specifically. High-purity DNA fragments are eluted with provided AccuPrep EL Buffer (10 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.5) or distilled water. Purified DNA fragment can be immediately used for subcloning, sequencing, and other molecular biological applications.

Good speaker, but..
This is a really great speaker! It has very nice sound quality and is a lot smaller than I expected (a good thing!). I've had th This is a really great speaker! It has very nice sound quality and is a lot smaller than I expected (a good thing!). I've had the B&W A7 previously and while the sound quality of the Z2 is not as good, it's pretty hard to tell the difference. The only complaint I have is that this product is a little difficult to set-up. There are not very many instructions other than Airplay options, and it took a little bit to figure out how to play music through the dock and not Airplay. All in all though a good speaker and I do not regret my purchase! …

Musical wonder but technical blunder...
Packaging "à la Apple". Musical quality is better than anything I had had before in this format: Boston Acoustics, Bose, Geneva La Packaging "à la Apple". Musical quality is better than anything I had had before in this format: Boston Acoustics, Bose, Geneva Labs. Plays louder than I would have thought considering the size, same for the BASS, it's very decent for the size. The sound is precise, just like B&W's MM-1. Me being literate in network settings and audio video connections, I had to look for an online instructions manual as my Z2 would not connect to to my WiFi (Airport Extreme most recent version)... in the end, I had to disable the 5 Ghz to be able to join anything other than the Guest Network. That's a shame, Macs have had 5 Ghz for years now.
Next, I have not managed to be able to play anything from the dock whether from iPod Touch, iPod nano, or iPhone 5. The Z2 does not switch input either from the button on the back or from the remote. I like the thing and I want it to work, I am starting to think my unit could be defective.
One other thing, the online instructions mention charging whilst docked with the Z2 off... does not work for me... with it being in a bedroom, I want a WiFi free zone during the night so it's disappointing... …- Written by Andre L from Quebec

Great Sound, easy set up

Great sound in small spaces.
I picked up a Z2 recently, replacing my Zeppelin Mini, it's predecessor. It's sound is superb for the purpose it fills. You will I picked up a Z2 recently, replacing my Zeppelin Mini, it's predecessor. It's sound is superb for the purpose it fills. You will frankly get better sound from the larger B&W speakers such as Zeppelin Air, the A5 and the A7, but these units are much larger and much more expensive. The Z2 fills a perfect niche for a small space where you don't need to go overboard with A/V gear, but still want great sound. I have a small corner area in my kitchen that it is perfect for. I still have plenty of space on my countertops, but have a wonderful speaker system and area to dock and charge my iPhone. I also like that it's cabinet (compared to the Zeppelin Mini before it) now features a rubberized top and metal grill. This is much more durable and easy to clean for an area such as a kitchen that may be within 5 or 6 feet of a wet space. Easy setup through the B&W app, and very simple to either dock and play music, or stream through Airplay. You can even choose to play via Airplay while your iPhone or iPod is docked in the station. This is nice if you may be taking it on and off the dock frequently, and your music will continue to play. The lightning connection also swivels forward slightly so you will not damage your connection if removing your iPhone/iPod at a slight angle. Still a little pricey for an iPhone/iPod speaker dock, but I doubt that you will find one of this size that sounds so great and carries the Bowers and Wilkins name and backing. A small gloss riverbed stone style remote control is also included. A great speaker for expanding where you have quick music capability in your home. Highly recommend. …

The Stars are barely a step ahead of the Predators in the Western Conference standings, but do enjoy a game in hand. The real area of opportunity for Nashville is in the Stars' lack of discipline, which has caused them to work the penalty kill more often than any other team in the league (although an analysis at Defending Big D suggests they are starting to show more restraint).
In their previous meeting this season, the Predators mounted a comeback to win 5-4 in overtime, in a spirited affair that featured a lot of jabbering from former Pred Vern Fiddler. Will he keep it up now that Rich Clune is uncaged?

Dallas Stars
While the rebuild in Dallas hasn't exactly made great leaps forward, Stars fans are encouraged at least to be in contention for the playoffs, given the youth movement that is underway. Take for example this look at the Stars' defensive performance at even strength, which is basically the same as last season's:
I have a feeling that if you told Glen Gulutzan and Joe Nieuwendyk that this stat would basically be the same this year as it was last year, they would have gladly taken it knowing that so many rookies would be assimilated into the defense corps this season.
I suppose there's still time for things to go south on this front as 24 games is still a rather small sample size. But there's probably as good a chance that this number will steadily improve as the season wears on. Brenden Dillon's been a nice surprise all first half long. And Jordie Benn and Jamie Oleksiak may have started to figure a few things out at this level that they weren't figuring out earlier in the season.
--- Brandon Bigg, Defending Big D
It doesn't sound like the Preds will have to face the Stars' top forward, Jamie Benn, who is doubtful with a wrist injury. With Benn idled, there's some old guy who's actually leading Dallas in scoring:
Here is a look at the Stars' lines from practice yesterday, without Jamie Benn, courtesy of Defending Big D:
Nashville Predators
We all know the main story here: the lowest-scoring team in the league lost its two most consistently dangerous forwards as Colin Wilson and Patric Hornqvist were put on Injured Reserve.
The line combinations will be interesting to watch, I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to what they'll look like tonight. With Brandon Yip back in the mix, and the new guys Bobby Butler and Zach Boychuk still getting familiar with things, I would expect a good deal of experimentation over the next few games.
What it all comes down to tonight is a whole-team effort to rally around the Predators' core principles to fight through their current adversity. Beyond that, however, they absolutely need some of their forwards to step forward and carry the load offensively.
Perhaps that guy might be Yip, who has enjoyed some success against Dallas traditionally:
In 11 career games vs. the Stars, Yip has four goals and five assists for nine points, the most production he's had against any NHL club.
While nobody would wish to face a 5-game roadie under the present circumstances, the Predators have no choice but to tackle it as best they can. What's your take on how they'll do?

text: In Thompson v. North American Stainless [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the court heard arguments on whether a third party is afforded protection against retaliation when they have made claims about bias in the workplace that were not directly related to their own treatment. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act [42 USC § 2000e-3(a) text] prohibits retaliation against a worker who has complained of bias in the workplace, but it is unclear whether that protection extends to a third party associated with the worker complaining of the bias. The US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed [opinion, PDF] the district court's ruling and held that the statute only protects workers personally engaging in the protected activity, in this case complaining of workplace bias. The court has also been asked to decide if a civil remedy can be sought by third party, if the court of appeals ruling is upheld.

WPVI-TV, channel 6, is an ABC owned-and-operated television station located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The station is owned by the ABC Owned Television Stations subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. WPVI maintains studios located on the border between the Wynnefield Heights section of Philadelphia and the suburb of Bala Cynwyd, and its transmitter is located in Philadelphia's Roxborough neighborhood.
As WFIL-TV[edit]
The station first signed on the air on September 10, 1947 as WFIL-TV; it is Philadelphia's second-oldest television station. It was originally owned by Triangle Publications, publishers of The Philadelphia Inquirer and owners of WFIL radio (560 AM, and 102.1 FM). WFIL radio had been an ABC radio affiliate dating back to the network's existence as the NBC Blue Network. However, WFIL-TV started out carrying programming from the DuMont Television Network, as ABC had not yet ventured into broadcast television. When the ABC television network debuted on April 19, 1948, WFIL-TV became its first affiliate. Channel 6 joined ABC before the network's first owned-and-operated station, WJZ-TV in New York City (now WABC-TV), signed on in August of that year. However, it retained a secondary affiliation with DuMont until that network shut down in 1956.
The WFIL stations were the flagship of the growing communications empire of Walter Annenberg's Triangle Publications, which owned two Philadelphia newspapers (the morning Inquirer and, later, the evening Daily News), periodicals including TV Guide, Seventeen and the Daily Racing Form, and a broadcasting group that would grow to ten radio and six television stations.
The WFIL radio stations originally broadcast from the Widener Building in downtown Philadelphia. With the anticipated arrival of WFIL-TV, Triangle secured a new facility for the stations, located at Market and 46th streets, which opened in 1947. In 1963, Triangle built one of the most advanced broadcast centers in the nation on City (or City Line) Avenue in the Wynnefield Heights community, in a circular building across from rival WCAU-TV (channel 10). The station still broadcasts from the facility today, even as a new digital media building was constructed that now houses production of the station's newscasts and other local programs, while the original studio was turned over to public broadcaster WHYY-FM-TV.
Channel 6 has a long history of producing local programs. On March 26, 1948, it aired a production of "Parsifal" from the John Wanamaker Store that featured Bruno Walter conducting 50 players from the Philadelphia Orchestra, a Chorus of 300, and the Wanamaker Organ. Perhaps its most notable local production was Bandstand, which began in 1952 and originated from WFIL-TV's newly constructed Studio B (located in the 1952 addition to the 46th and Market studio). In 1957, ABC added the program as part of its weekday afternoon network lineup and renamed it American Bandstand to reflect its more widespread broadcast scope.
Other well-known locally-produced shows included the children's programs Captain Noah and His Magical Ark; a cartoon show hosted by Sally Starr; and Chief Halftown (whose host, Traynor Ora Halftown, was a full-blooded member of the Seneca Nation), and two variety programs: The Al Alberts Showcase, a talent show emceed by the lead singer of The Four Aces; and The Larry Ferrari Show, on which the host played organ versions of both popular and religious music. WFIL-TV also produced an early, yet long-running, program on adult literacy, Operation Alphabet.
Channel 6 was the first station to sign on from the Roxborough neighborhood. It originally transmitted from a 600-foot (180 m) tower, but in 1957 it moved to a new 1,100-foot (340 m) tower, which it co-owned with NBC-owned WRCV-TV (channel 3, now KYW-TV). The new tower added much of Delaware and the Lehigh Valley to the station's city-grade coverage.
As WPVI-TV[edit]
In 1968, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed a rule barring companies from owning newspapers and broadcast outlets in the same market. However, the agency "grandfathered" several existing newspaper and broadcasting cross-combinations in several markets. The FCC denied a request by Triangle to grandfather the combination of the Inquirer, the Daily News and WFIL-AM-FM-TV. As a result, in 1969, one year after the new regulation was made official, Triangle sold the Inquirer and the Daily News to Knight Newspapers (later renamed Knight-Ridder).
In 1970, the FCC forced Triangle to sell off its broadcasting properties due to protests from then-Pennsylvania Governor Milton Shapp. Shapp complained that Triangle had used its three Pennsylvania television stations – WFIL-TV, WLYH-TV in Lebanon and WFBG-TV (now WTAJ-TV) in Altoona – in a smear campaign against him.[1] The WFIL stations, along with radio and television station outlets in New Haven, Connecticut and Fresno, California, were sold to Capital Cities Communications.[2] As a condition of the sale, Capital Cities had to spin off the radio stations to other entities – in Philadelphia, WFIL-FM (now WIOQ) was sold to its general manager John Richer,[3] and WFIL radio went to LIN Broadcasting.[4] On April 27, 1971, shortly after the sale was approved[5] and Capital Cities took control of channel 6, the station changed its call letters to the current WPVI-TV.
Despite the ownership change, channel 6 continued preempting ABC programming in favor of locally-produced and syndicated shows. In 1975, when ABC entered the morning news field with AM America, WPVI chose not to carry it. Nor would channel 6 pick up AM America's successor, Good Morning America, in its entirety for nearly three years, choosing instead to carry Captain Noah and His Magical Ark in place of the second hour of GMA. WPVI-TV also did not run other ABC daytime programs, notably The Edge of Night and numerous sitcom reruns. ABC was able to get most of its daytime schedule on the air in Philadelphia anyway, through contracts with independent stations WKBS-TV (channel 48) and WTAF-TV (channel 29).
In March 1985, Capital Cities Communications announced it was purchasing the American Broadcasting Company, a move that stunned the broadcast industry since ABC was some four times larger than Capital Cities at the time. Some have said that Capital Cities was only able to pull off the deal because WPVI-TV, the company's flagship property, had become very profitable in its own right. However, the merged company almost had to sell off channel 6 due to a large signal overlap with WABC-TV. In the FCC's view, the merger gave the new company a de facto duopoly prohibited by the regulations of the time – the same "one-to-a-market" rule that forced Triangle to split its newspaper/broadcast combination in Philadelphia many years earlier. Capital Cities sought a waiver of the rules to keep WPVI, citing CBS' then-ownership of WCBS-TV in New York City and WCAU-TV locally in Philadelphia. The FCC granted the waiver, and when the transaction was finalized in early 1986, WPVI-TV became an ABC owned-and-operated station. A decade later in 1996, the Walt Disney Company purchased Capital Cities/ABC.
Even in the years after WPVI became an ABC-owned station, it continued to preempt an hour of ABC daytime programs in favor of other programs. Wildwood, New Jersey-based NBC affiliate WMGM-TV (channel 40) picked up the pre-empted ABC shows until 1987, when those programs moved back to channel 29, which was now WTXF-TV. The preempted programs were usually magazine shows, game shows or reruns of ABC primetime sitcoms. By the early 1990s, WPVI preempted only the first half-hour of The Home Show.
On January 22, 1987, the station partially rebroadcast the suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer – which had occurred at a press conference earlier that morning – during its noon newscast. In 1997, in a directive from the new Disney ownership, WPVI-TV began carrying the entire ABC network schedule for the first time in the station's history with the network. Unfortunately, it came at the expense of its highly-rated local talk show, AM/Live (formerly AM Philadelphia), which was shifted to an overnight timeslot to make room for ABC's then-new talk show The View. AM/Live was moved to 12:35 a.m. following Politically Incorrect and was renamed Philly After Midnight, where it lasted until 2001.
Today, WPVI carries the entire ABC lineup as well as syndicated programs such as Live! with Kelly and Michael, Katie and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (all three of which are distributed by corporate cousin Disney-ABC Domestic Television). It also carries both Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. In fact, its entire weekday lineup, including syndicated shows, is identical to that of WABC-TV. Since 1977, WPVI has aired the Pennsylvania Lottery live nighttime television drawings, which occur nightly at 6:59 p.m. ET; the Powerball drawings on Wednesdays and Saturdays and the Tuesday and Friday Mega Millions drawings air during the 11 p.m. newscasts on those nights. In more recent years, as a result of ABC losing Monday Night Football, WPVI has aired the Philadelphia Eagles' preseason and Monday night games, as well as the team's coaches' show; the Eagles' remaining games are split between KYW-TV, WCAU-TV and WTXF-TV through their respectively owned networks' NFL broadcast rights and NFL Network through its Thursday Night Football package. On January 28, 2010, WPVI entered into a multi-year agreement with Major League Soccer expansion team Philadelphia Union to broadcast selected games.[6][7]
Digital television[edit]
Digital channels[edit]
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming[8] |
6.1 | 720p | 16:9 | WPVI-HD | Main WPVI-TV programming / ABC |
6.2 | Live Well | Live Well Network (Letterbox on 6.3) |
6.3 | 480i | 4:3 |
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
WPVI-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 6, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 64, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition, to its former analog-era VHF channel 6 for post-transition operations.[9]
Reception issues[edit]
Because of the nature of low-band VHF frequencies, the WPVI-TV signal was difficult to receive without an outdoor VHF/UHF antenna, even within Philadelphia proper. The FCC granted the station a temporary power increase to 30 kilowatts, following consent given from WEDY in New Haven, Connecticut and WRGB in Schenectady, New York. Because of potential interference with other stations and with FM radio, there was doubt as to whether this increase could be granted.[10] Some viewers did notice an improvement in their signal;[11] However, WPVI continued to receive complaints regarding the viewability of its digital signal.[12] the problems have continued to this day.[13][14] WPVI, along with Wilmington, Delaware-licensed stations PBS member station WHYY-TV (channel 12) and KJWP (channel 2, a 2013 move-in from Jackson, Wyoming) are the only Philadelphia area stations whose digital signals operate on the VHF band, as all others physically broadcast on UHF. The FCC advises that a single antenna position will likely not pull both low- and high-band VHF signals (unlike the analog era).[15]
News operation[edit]
WPVI-TV presently broadcasts 39½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with six hours on weekdays, 4½ hours on Saturdays and five hours on Sundays). In addition, the station produces a public affairs program on Sunday mornings called Inside Story, which discusses local and national issues; as it does not have a regular host, members of WPVI's anchor staff rotate hosting duties for the program. Due to the absence of an ABC station based in New Jersey, WPVI cooperates with its New York City sister station, WABC-TV, in the production and broadcast of statewide New Jersey political debates. Whenever the two stations broadcast a statewide office debate, such as those involving gubernatorial or U.S. Senate races, WPVI and WABC will pool resources and have anchors or reporters from both stations participate in the debate. Additionally, the two stations cooperate in the gathering of news in New Jersey where their markets overlap, sharing reporters, live trucks, and helicopters.
The station is famous for pioneering the "Action News" format, which was used by many stations throughout the United States. When WFIL-TV premiered it on April 6, 1970, the format allowed the news program to feature more stories than KYW-TV's Eyewitness News due to strict time limits on story packages. Within a few months, the station surged to first place for the first time in its history. It had previously been an also-ran behind KYW-TV and WCAU-TV, as was the case with most ABC affiliates. Despite Channel 6's newspaper roots, it was hampered by the fact that ABC was not on par with CBS and NBC until the early 1970s.
In 1970, Channel 6 stole first place in the Philadelphia news ratings. It has dominated the ratings for most of the time ever since, winning virtually every timeslot. Its dominance has only been seriously challenged twice – in the 1980s, when WCAU briefly took the lead at 5 p.m.; and in 2001, when Channel 10 took first place at 11 p.m. for a few months for the first time in decades. Many top executives in ABC's television station group worked at WPVI. WPVI's longtime anchor Jim Gardner and weatherman Dave Roberts respectively joined the station in 1976 and 1978, after each had spent time at WPVI's then-sister station in Buffalo, New York, WKBW-TV. One of the station's sports directors, Gary Papa, joined in 1981 from another Buffalo station, WGR-TV, and stayed with it till his death in 2009. Most of WPVI's on-air staff has been at the station for over ten years, and several for 20 years or more. Gardner has been the station's main anchor since May 1977, making his the longest tenure as a main anchor in Philadelphia history. Rob Jennings served as the station's longtime weekend anchor beginning that same year, until his retirement on July 21, 2013.[16]
The station's newscasts have used the same theme music, "Move Closer to Your World," composed by Al Ham, since 1972, which is accompanied at the start of each newscast with seasonal introductions showing footage of various Philadelphia residents and landmarks (a concept that was replicated by WPVI's Chicago and San Francisco sister stations, though instead accompanied by Gari Media Group's "News Series 2000 Plus" – since renamed "Stimulus" – at different periods during the 1990s); the theme had become such an iconic aspect of Action News that news director Dave Davis considered it to be the station's "national anthem." The theme has remained relatively unchanged (aside from remasters) since it was first introduced; when WPVI attempted to introduce a slower, modernized version of "Move Closer to Your World" performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra on September 20, 1996, the station immediately received complaints from viewers and reverted to the old theme only three days later.[17] For over 30 years starting in the late 1970s, Jefferson "Jeff" Kaye (also a WKBW alumnus, and one who would later become known nationally for his work on NFL Films) announced the familiar open: "Action News, Delaware Valley's leading news program," as well as rejoins and closings. Even through staff announcing changes for the station in general, Kaye remained the constant voice of Action News. His voice started to show signs of decaying in the mid-2000s, reaching a point to where Kaye's newly recorded opens in late January 2010 were pulled in less than a week. On June 21, 2010, Kaye was replaced with veteran announcer Charlie Van Dyke, who had become WPVI's station announcer in 2006. Kaye died on November 16, 2012.
In recent years, attempts have been made to modernize the newscasts. In 1998, it began downplaying its use of chromakey graphics. The magnet board used for weather forecasts gave way to a video screen in 2000 and a chromakey wall in 2005. On February 13, 2006, a revamped and fully modernized set debuted which included a glass etching background of several historical landmarks in Philadelphia positioned behind the anchor desk, shiftable lighting effects and a computerized AccuWeather center. WPVI introduced a new HD-capable helicopter in February 2006. Live shots from the helicopter, officially named "Chopper6 HD," were shown in high definition. Furthermore, on July 23, 2006, starting with the 6:00 p.m. newscast (the official announcement was made on July 24), Action News began broadcasting in full 720p high definition; all field video shown during WPVI's newscasts is shot in high definition. On September 12, 2009, WPVI debuted another new revamped and fully modernized set, wider than the last set at the original round building, with a bigger news desk, AccuWeather center and a revised glass-etched background which added the Comcast Center to the featured landmarks. It also added a touch-screen video wall, the first for any station in the country, which it called "The Action News Big Board."
After the 2009 death of Gary Papa, Channel 6 took eighteen months to name a replacement. In January 2011, Keith Russell was named as the 6 and 11 p.m. sports anchor, while Jamie Apody was named sports anchor for the 5 p.m. newscast, a position vacant since the departure of longtime 5 p.m. anchor Scott Palmer. Russell and Apody split responsibility for the weekday evening sports report during the interim. On May 26, 2011, WPVI debuted an hour-long 4 p.m. newscast to replace The Oprah Winfrey Show, which ended its 25-year syndication run one day prior; this broadcasts from a smaller news desk, located next to the main anchor desk, that only houses the anchors of that newscast and allows the team to utilize the big board more frequently. The station also introduced "Mobile 6," a news vehicle used for reports during the station's early evening newscasts. In the spring of 2012, the station expanded its weekend 11 p.m. newscasts to one hour.
The 2011-13 ABC series Body of Proof, which was set around the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office and produced by ABC's television production division, used WPVI live trucks and microphones with the station's mic flags in a fictional sense, along with fictional press conference news graphics from the station, though none of WPVI's actual staff appeared during the course of the series, and retained the graphics and live truck look used before the introduction of the "Circle 6" logo.
On September 15, 2012, WPVI-TV took over production of MyNetworkTV affiliate WPHL-TV (channel 17)'s 10 p.m. newscast from NBC-owned WCAU (which began producing the 10 p.m. newscast in December 2005, after WPHL shut down its own in-house news department). The half-hour newscast respectively utilizes the same anchors as WPVI's weekday 4 p.m. and weekend evening newscasts.[18] With this, WPVI became the third ABC owned-and-operated station to be involved in a news share agreement, after KGO-TV in San Francisco (which produces a 9 p.m. newscast for independent station KOFY-TV) and WTVD in Raleigh (which produces a 10 p.m. newscast for CW affiliate WLFL).
In December 2013, WPVI entered into a news share agreement with Univision-owned WUVP-DT, Channel 65; the agreement allows WPVI to expand its coverage of stories involving the Hispanic community, while permitting WUVP to utilize such of WPVI's resources as helicopter video. The arrangement follows other partnerships between ABC and Univision (including the Fusion cable channel, as well as similar agreements in other markets), as well as a similar agreement in Philadelphia between WCAU and Telemundo station WWSI (channel 62) established after NBCUniversal acquired the latter station.[19][20]

Cable and satellite carriage[edit]
Outside of the Philadelphia market in central New Jersey, WPVI is carried on Channel 6 on Comcast in the municipalities of Plainsboro, South Brunswick, Monroe, Cranbury, Jamesburg, Helmetta, Spotswood and East Brunswick, New Jersey in southern Middlesex County as well as the Monmouth County borough of Roosevelt. WPVI moved to channel 38 in the late 1980s (by what was then Storer Cable) and later moved back to channel 6 by Comcast in the late 1990s. WPVI is also available on channel 6 on all Comcast systems in Ocean County as well as in Lambertville. Comcast added WPVI's HD feed to its lineups in Ocean and Southern Middlesex counties, Roosevelt and Lambertville on August 22, 2012 on digital channel 906.[37] WPVI's Live Well Network subchannel (both in high definition and standard definition) were added to the Comcast's southern Middlesex County system on November 27, 2012 (Live Well had previously been carried on that system through feeds from WPVI's New York City sister station WABC-TV), but have not been mapped into the Comcast digital boxes or DTAs.
Cablevision also carries WPVI on channel 6 on its Monmouth County system. Both Comcast and Cablevision carry WPVI throughout Ocean County. Due to a contract dispute with ABC, WPVI was pulled from Cablevision systems in Monmouth, Ocean and Mercer counties on March 8, 2010. Verizon FiOS carries WPVI on channel 16 in Ocean County and extreme southern Monmouth County. WPVI is also carried by Comcast in New Castle County and portions of Kent County in Delaware. As such, WPVI is classified as a significantly viewed station in Warren, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth and Ocean counties.
In the Lehigh Valley, WPVI is carried by Service Electric, RCN and Blue Ridge Communications. It can also be seen in Reading and much of Berks County. The station can be seen in Lancaster County as far west as Elizabethtown and as far north as Tamaqua/Hazelton (in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market).
