WJLA (ABC 7) is the local ABC affiliate in Washington, DC, and is located on channel 7 (digital channel 39).
History
On October 3, 1947, channel 7 began broadcasting as WTVW, owned by the Washington Star along with WMAL radio. A few years later, the station renamed itself WMAL-TV.
In 1974, Joseph L. Allbritton purchased the Washington Star, and in 1978 he sold the Star to Time, Inc. He held on to channel 7 and renamed it WJLA, incorporating his intials into the call letters.
As of 2005, WJLA is owned by the Allbritton Communications Company along with a local cable station, Newschannel 8. Both stations have broadcast facilities in Arlington, VA.
