Back when WPTY (Now WATN) became the Memphis' ABC affiliate. Owned at that time by Clear Channel (later Newport Television), then purchased by Nexstar, and now owned by Tegna - the station has struggled in the news ratings regardless of improvements in the quality of product and people. WATN 24 is a great affiliate. However, due to Memphis being a traditional medium sized market, and having a UHF call sign on-air, WATN 24 is still regarded in the eyes of many mid-southerners as an independent station.

@@christophernicholson20 That's right. I've first watched him when NewsWatch 24 made its first broadcast back in December 1, 1995. He was the best.
