Belo Corporation ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|iː|l|oʊ}}; formerly A. H. Belo Corporation) was a Dallas, Texas-based media company that owned 20 commercial broadcasting television stations and three regional 24-hour cable news television channels. Until 2008, the company also owned seven newspapers, which were ultimately spun off into a separate company now known as DallasNews Corporation. The company was named after former owner Alfred Horatio Belo. Belo had its headquarters in the Belo Building in Downtown Dallas, designed by Dallas architects Omniplan and constructed between 1983 and 1985."[http://www.belo.com/about/contactUs.x2 Contact Us] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100309102210/http://www.belo.com/about/contactUs.x2 |date=2010-03-09 }}."

History

File:Belo Tower Dallas.jpg

The company traces its roots back to the establishment of The Daily News in Galveston, Texas, in 1842, four years before the Republic of Texas was annexed by the United States; the company sold The Daily News in 1923. In 1857, the company began publishing the Texas Almanac, a reference book focused on Texas, and on October 1, 1885, launched a second newspaper, The Dallas Morning News, based in Dallas, Texas.

On June 26, 1922, the company expanded into broadcasting with the sign-on of WFAA-AM (at that time, shared time with WBAP and WRR in Dallas, Texas).{{cite web | url=https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/a-h-belo-corporation | title=A.H. Belo Corporation | website=Handbook of Texas | publisher=Texas State Historical Association | access-date=February 9, 2021}}

In July 1926, A.H. Belo Corporation was founded when George Bannerman Dealey acquired a majority interest in the company.

On January 30, 1950, the company announced the purchase of DuMont-affiliated Dallas television station KBTV (renamed WFAA after the acquisition) for $575,000. This purchase, approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on March 13, 1950, and completed on March 17, marked the company's entry into television broadcasting. The station switched its primary affiliation to NBC after the acquisition and was also affiliated with ABC on a secondary basis.{{cite web | url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/50-OCR/1950-01-30-BC-OCR-Page-0057.pdf | title=KBTV [TV] sale | periodical=Broadcasting-Telecasting | date=January 30, 1950 | access-date=February 9, 2021 | via=World Radio History}}

In 1963, the company acquired News-Texan Inc., a publishing company that owned suburban newspapers in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex; this subsidiary was later renamed Dallas–Fort Worth Suburban Newspapers Inc.

The company acquired its second television station in 1969 when it purchased KFDM-TV in Beaumont from Beaumont Broadcasting,{{cite web | title=$20 million in TV sales approved. | url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/69-OCR/1969-05-12-BC-OCR-Page-0048.pdf | periodical=Broadcasting | via=World Radio History | page=48 | date=May 12, 1969 | access-date=February 9, 2021}} followed in 1980 by its purchase of WTVC in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Among its purchases in later years, Belo acquired the Corinthian Broadcasting subsidiary of Dun & Bradstreet in December 1983, adding six additional stations, including CBS affiliates KHOU in Houston and KOTV in Tulsa, Oklahoma and ABC affiliate WVEC-TV in Norfolk, Virginia to its portfolio. This forced the sales of KFDM and WTVC to Freedom Communications, and of WISH-TV in Indianapolis and WANE-TV in Fort Wayne, Indiana to LIN Broadcasting, to comply with FCC ownership limits.{{cite web | title=Belo's record buy | url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/83-OCR/BC-1983-06-27-OCR-Page-0074.pdf | periodical=Broadcasting | publisher=Broadcasting Publications, Inc. | via=World Radio History | page=78 | date=June 27, 1983 | access-date=February 9, 2021}}

On December 8, 1991, A.H.

On September 26, 1996, A.H. Belo announced that it would acquire the Providence Journal Company (publishers of The Providence Journal in Providence, Rhode Island) for $1.5 billion. This purchase brought Belo the Providence company's ten television stations including KING-TV in Seattle.{{cite news | url=https://apnews.com/article/ff7ad0f5ced337abb5bf1113e3baaaab | title=Providence Journal Co. to Merge With A.H.

On October 1, 2007, Belo announced the separation of its newspaper and television businesses by spinning off its newspaper business to shareholders as A. H. Belo Corporation, officially completed on February 8, 2008. The television business retained the Belo Corporation name (without the "A.

In September 2010, Belo became the first non-ABC group to sign on with the Live Well Network, adding it to five of their stations (WFAA, KMOV, WCNC-TV, WVEC, & WWL-TV) on November 8, 2010.{{cite news | last1=Malone | first1=Michael | title=Adds ABC's Live Well Network | url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/457792-Belo_Adds_ABC_s_Live_Well_Network.php | access-date=December 3, 2014 | work=Broadcasting & Cable | publisher=NewBay Media | date=September 29, 2010}}

On June 13, 2013, Gannett Company announced plans to buy Belo for $1.5 billion and the assumption of debt.{{cite web | url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-belo-gannett-idUSBRE95C0G320130613 | date=June 13, 2013 | title=Gannett to buy Belo for $1.5 billion | publisher=Reuters | access-date=June 30, 2017 | archive-date=September 24, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924182104/http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/13/us-belo-gannett-idUSBRE95C0G320130613 | url-status=live}} Because of ownership conflicts in markets where both Belo and Gannett owned television stations and newspapers, Gannett planned to sell six Belo-owned stations—KMOV in St. Louis, WHAS-TV in Louisville, KMSB in Tucson, KGW in Portland, Oregon, and KTVK and KASW in Phoenix—to Sander Media, LLC, owned by former Belo executive Jack Sander. Gannett would have provided some services to the Sander stations under joint services agreements. Due to concerns about any possible future consolidation of operations of Gannett- and Belo-owned properties in markets where both owned television stations or collusion involving the Gannett and Sander stations in retransmission consent negotiations, anti-media-consolidation groups (such as Free Press) and pay television providers (such as Time Warner Cable and DirecTV) called for the FCC to block the acquisition.[http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/494671-Free_Press_Others_Ask_FCC_To_Deny_Some_Gannett_Belo_Transfers.php Free Press, Others Ask FCC To Deny Some Gannett/Belo Transfers], Broadcasting & Cable, July 24, 2013.[http://www.adweek.com/news/television/public-interest-groups-cable-companies-oppose-gannett-belo-merger-151425 Public Interest Groups, Cable Companies Oppose Gannett-Belo Merger], AdWeek, July 25, 2013.

The concerns were especially pronounced in St. Louis, since the merged company would have controlled two of the three news departments run by "Big Four" stations in that city—KMOV, which was to have been sold to Sander, and Gannett-owned KSDK. On December 16, 2013, the United States Department of Justice threatened to block the deal unless Gannett, Belo and Sander completely divested KMOV to a government-approved third-party company that would be barred from entering into any agreements with Gannett, in order to fully preserve competition in advertising sales with KSDK. Justice claimed that Gannett and Sander would be so closely aligned that Gannett would have dominated spot advertising in St. Louis.{{cite news | last=Eggerton | first=John | title=Justice: Sander Can't Keep KMOV | url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/washington/justice-sander-cant-keep-kmov/127991 | access-date=December 16, 2013 | newspaper=Broadcasting & Cable | date=December 16, 2013}} On December 20, the deal was approved by the FCC.{{cite web | title=FCC OKs Gannett-Belo And Tribune-Local | url=http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/72866/fcc-oks-gannettbelo-and-tribunelocal | work=TVNewsCheck | access-date=December 20, 2013}} With the completion of the deal on December 23,[http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/72893/gannett-completes-its-acquisition-of-belo Gannett Completes Its Acquisition of Belo], TVNewsCheck, Retrieved December 23, 2013 on the same day Gannett and Sander agreed to sell KMOV, KTVK, and control of KASW for $407.5 million to Meredith Corporation (which owns KPHO-TV in the Phoenix market); Sander served as caretaker owner of those stations during the sale process, and SagamoreHill Broadcasting would take on KASW's license.{{cite web | title=Meredith Buying Three Stations From Gannett | url=http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/72891/meredith-buying-three-stations-from-gannett | work=TVNewsCheck | access-date=December 23, 2013}} Meredith's purchase of KMOV was completed on February 28, 2014,{{cite news | last=Brown | first=Lisa | title=Meredith Corp. closes on $177 million purchase of KMOV | url=http://www.stltoday.com/business/local/meredith-corp-closes-on-million-purchase-of-kmov/article_a03f725d-4d48-5dc8-8374-0d6287fdcc1b.html | access-date=February 28, 2014 | newspaper=St. Louis Post-Dispatch | date=February 28, 2014}} and its purchase of KTVK, along with SagamoreHill's purchase of KASW, were completed on June 19. SagamoreHill was then forced to divest KASW to Nexstar Broadcasting Group (now Nexstar Media Group) on January 30, 2015.

On June 29, 2015, Gannett split into two companies, one specializing in print media and named "Gannett," and the other specializing in broadcast and digital media.
