Field Communications

[1] The Kaiser chain consisted of WKBD-TV in Detroit, WKBF-TV in Cleveland, WKBS-TV in the Philadelphia area, KBHK-TV in San Francisco, WKBG-TV in Boston (owned by Kaiser in a joint venture with the Boston Globe) and KBSC-TV in the Los Angeles area.

[2] The Boston Globe sold its minority ownership stake in WKBG-TV back to Kaiser/Field in 1974,[6] with the station renamed WLVI.

[7] WKBF-TV was shut down permanently on April 25, 1975, after years of mounting financial losses, with Kaiser/Field selling the station's non-license assets to WUAB parent United Artists Broadcasting.

[8] In turn, Kaiser/Field purchased a 36 percent equity stake in WUAB,[9] which it held until United Artists sold off that station to Gaylord Broadcasting in 1977.

By the end of 1982, Field had deals in place for three of the stations: WFLD-TV to Metromedia,[15][16] WLVI-TV to Gannett,[17] and KBHK-TV to Chris-Craft Industries/United Television.
