Expanded History: Television on channel 10 begins in 1950, when Shenandoah Life Insurance (owners of WSLS-AM 610 and WSLS-FM 99.1) applied for the frequency. Soon, Polan withdrew their application for channel 7 and instead went after channel 10. In time, they withdrew and WSLS went on the air December 11, 1952.
