FCC approved the commercial license for Phoenix’s 3rd TV channel to a partnership between Prairie Farmer Newspaper (KOY AM 550 owner) and Gene Autry (Kool AM 960 Owner). Both decided to start two separate channels- KOOL-TV and KOY-TV- sharing the same transmitter under the affiliation of CBS (Primary) and ABC (Secondary).

Later, in May 1954, Gene Autry bought the Prairie’s share of KOOL-TV for 200,000 dollars and turned channel ten into a full-time KOOL-TV. In Feb 1995, Channel 10 (now Fox 10 Phoenix) lost ABC affiliation after KTVK CH 3 established, thus leaving only a CBS affiliate behind and allowing the station to put Gene Autry’s Melody Ranch in its programming schedule.

May 1982 Incident

On 28 May 1982, an incident by Joseph Billie Gwin occurred in the channel’s studio whose intentions were to prevent Second World War (according to him). The man entered the studios, fired a shot, struck Louis Villa’s head with a gun butt, and held him, hostage, for almost five hours. Joseph asked for nationwide airtime while keeping four people prisoners at gunpoint. Three hours later, Gwin released two hostages, Bob Cimino, and Jack Webb.

Later, at 9:30 pm, he forced Bill Close (the channel’s main anchorperson that time) to read a 20-minute statement while he sits next to him, pointing a gun at him under the table. After reading the statement, Close swiftly took a gun from the assailant and put it on the table. The man surrendered himself to the police after the telecast and charged with burglary, assault, and kidnapping. Though later in 2005 court released him by declaring him mentally insane.

Just after 18 days, the new owners declared they are going to shift 12 out of their 15 TV channels’ varying Big Three affiliations to Fox.
