WCPO-TV, "ABC9" is a broadcast television station in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, affiliated with the ABC network. It broadcasts on channel 9 and operates high-definition television channel 9.1. WCPO's studio is located in the Mount Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati, just outside of Eden Park. Its transmitter is also located in Cincinnati. The station is currently the flagship station of The E. W. Scripps Company, which owns it along with the Cincinnati Post.

History

The station first signed on the air on July 26, 1949 as a dual ABC and DuMont affiliate. The call letters came from the Post, who also owned WCPO-AM. With DuMont's demise in 1956, WCPO was left with just ABC until it swapped affiliations with WKRC-TV in 1961, becoming a CBS affiliate.

The station switched back to ABC in June 1996, as a result of a corporate affiliation deal between Scripps and ABC (which also saw several other Scripps stations becoming ABC affiliates). The other Scripps stations which were part of the affiliation deal had switched to ABC throughout 1994 and 1995, but WCPO had to wait for WKRC's affiliation contract with ABC to expire at the end of May 1996 before finally switching. The CBS affiliation returned to WKRC.

All Scripps-Howard ABC affiliates, including WCPO, preempted Saving Private Ryan in 2004.
