Broadcasting pioneer, Warren P. Williamson, Jr. was the first to bring radio to Youngstown on WKBN in 1926. He began broadcasting from the basement of his Youngstown home and by the following year, WKBN made its home in a studio at the Y.M.C.A in downtown Youngstown. By the early 1930s, Williamson began planning to bring television to Youngstown. Williamson submitted a request for a television license, but due to the increasing amount of requests throughout the country, the Federal Communications Commission put all requests on hold until they could decide how to allocate channels.
