WGNO 26 1980s

WGNO was purchased by Glendive Media in 1978, who would in turn sell the station to Tribune Broadcasting in 1983. WGNO reportedly turned down an offer by Fox to become a charter affiliate of the network, prior to its October 9, 1986 launch; Fox programming instead went to WNOL-TV (channel 38), which its then-owners TVX Broadcast Group used as leverage to get Fox to sign a deal to affiliate with the majority of the company's independent stations.

On January 1, 1996, WGNO became an ABC affiliate when that network's existing affiliate, WVUE, switched to Fox while The WB moved to WNOL-TV. The switch, however, caused overall ratings to fall at channel 26.
