KYW-AM-FM-TV were in Cleveland from 1955-1965. Owned and operated by Westinghouse Broadcasting. These were the first and only Cleveland stations with K-prefixed call signs. The KYW stations moved to Philadelphia in 1965.
I can still get KYW-AM 1060, all news radio here at night, after sundown. Pittsburgh also had (and still has) KDKA-TV channel 2 and AM 1020, and KQV-AM radio 1400.
Seems very strange that Philadelphia would have a channel 2 TV station right next to channel 3. In the NTSC analog days, this would not be allowed, since the FCC never assigned adjacent channels in the same city except for channels 4 and 5, or 13 and 14. Also, given that Philadelphia is not that far from New York City, the two channel 2 stations (WCBS-TV in New York and Philly's new channel 2) would interfere with each other. Of course, with DTV, channel 2 and channel 3 are probably spaced well apart from each other frequency-wise, despite the fact that they are adjacent to each other on your TV's channel selector knob or electronic ATSC/QAM digital tuner.
