Abstract:
Television came to Wilmington on April 9, 1954, when WFMD-TV, Channel 6, began broadcasting with a five-hour day. Ownership changed in 1957, when Atlantic Telecasting Corporation took over and changed the call letters to WECT. Broadcasting hours have increased to eighteen a day, and viewership has increased to over 600,000.
