History

The Ortsgemeinde of Külz came into being through the merger of the Ortsteile of Eichkülz on the one hand and Külz with the Ortsteil of Gaß, the boundary between which was the Külzbach, on the other. Eichkülz lay on the brook’s right bank in the former territory governed by the provost at Ravengiersburg Monastery. The two other centres over on the brook’s left bank, however, lay in the former Imperial territory that King Albrecht pledged to Count Simon II of Sponheim in 1302. These Imperial rights were acquired shortly thereafter by the Elector of the Palatinate.

History

Early history

The station first signed on the air on December 4, 1949 as the first television station in Arizona. It was originally owned by a group of entrepreneurs – one of whom, John Mullins, would later launch KBTV (now KUSA) in Denver. Majority interest was held by Phoenix Broadcasting, owners of KPHO radio (910 AM, now KFYI at 550 AM); the television station, which was originally assigned the call letters KTLX, had its callsign changed to KPHO-TV to match its radio sister shortly before its debut. It originally broadcast from studios at the Hotel Westward Ho in downtown Phoenix. The Meredith Corporation purchased the KPHO stations on June 25, 1952. In April 1950, the Lew King Ranger children's show broadcast live on KPHO with a young Wayne Newton as announcer. In 1954, it began airing The Wallace and Ladmo Show, a children's program which aired weekday mornings until 1989 – one of the longest-running locally produced children's shows in television history.
