Background: By the late '80s, RKO General was forced by the FCC to exit broadcasting due to an accounting scandal. The newly renamed WWOR was initially owned by Universal Studios, and sold to Pinelands after Matsushi-ta purchased Universal's parent company, MCA. Chris-Craft purchased Pinelands in 1993, and the station became a UPN O&O at the network's launch in 1995. Chris-Craft later exited television and sold its stations to Fox (which reunited WWOR with fellow ex-RKO station WHBQ in Memphis). WWOR is currently part of MyNetworkTV.
