From 1961 to 1962, Post-Newsweek held 46% ownership with San Diego television station KFSD-TV (later KOGO-TV) with the investment firm of Fox, Wells & Rogers owning 54%.

Post-Newsweek declined to acquire full ownership of KOGO-TV (now KGTV) and the venture ended when the station was sold to the broadcasting division of Time-Life in 1962.

Post-Newsweek made its first purchase in 1969, with the acquisitions of WCKY radio in Cincinnati and WLBW-TV in Miami; the TV outlet was renamed WPLG after the former Washington Post publisher Philip Graham, who committed suicide in 1963.

In the wake of a panic swap of WTOP-TV (now WUSA) to the (Detroit) Evening News Association for its WWJ-TV (now WDIV) in 1978, followed by the sale of both radio stations later in the year, the Post decided to spin off their broadcasting interests into a company of its own.

The sale was cancelled however, due to lack of FCC approval and poor economic conditions at that time, along with local reaction against media consolidation.
