'''WPLG''' (channel 10) is an [[independent television station]] in [[Miami]], Florida, United States. It is the sole television property owned by holding company [[Berkshire Hathaway]]. WPLG's studios are located on West Hallandale Beach Boulevard in [[Pembroke Park]], and its transmitter is located in [[Miami Gardens, Florida]].

WPLG signed on the air as WLBW-TV on November 20, 1961, as the replacement for [[WPST-TV]], which was forced to shut down by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) following the revelation of [[bribery]] undertaken with one of the commissioners to secure that station's license. L. B. Wilson, Inc., was found to be the only bidder for the original channel 10 license not to have engaged in coercive action, and was thus awarded a temporary permit to begin telecasting. While WPST-TV's license was revoked in July 1960, WLBW-TV had to wait for nearly a year to finally sign on using entirely different facilities, but hired multiple former WPST-TV staffers and acquired the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliation WPST-TV held.

Sold to [[Post-Newsweek Stations]] in 1969, WLBW-TV was renamed WPLG the following year in honor of [[Philip Leslie Graham]]. Led by on-air talent including [[Ann Bishop (journalist)|Ann Bishop]], [[Dwight Lauderdale]], [[Bryan Norcross]], [[Michael Putney]] and [[Calvin Hughes]], WPLG's news department emerged in the 1970s as a leader in local [[Audience measurement|television ratings]] and has maintained that position ever since. WPLG has been owned by Berkshire Hathaway since 2014, when Post-Newsweek (renamed Graham Media Group) divested it, but continues to maintain infrastructure and logistical ties to its previous ownership. After refusing to accept ABC's demands for increased [[reverse compensation]], it disaffiliated from the network in August 2025; ABC moved to a subchannel of [[WSVN]].

The first station to broadcast on channel 10 in the Miami market was [[WPST-TV]], owned by Public Service Television, the broadcasting subsidiary of [[National Airlines (1934–1980)|National Airlines]] (NAL).

As a result, it was the only television station in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale market that retained the same network affiliation throughout its history until August 2025. Possibly because of this consistency, WPLG remains one of the highest-rated stations in [[South Florida metropolitan area|South Florida]]. In 2004, WPLG began branding itself as "Local 10" under the branding standardization adopted by Post-Newsweek for its stations.

From April 2007 to May 2009, WPLG was South Florida's most-watched [[American English|English-language]] television station according to [[Nielsen Media Research|Nielsen]]; this can partially be attributed to its availability on [[Xfinity|Comcast]]'s [[West Palm Beach]] system, which in turn had a potentially negative effect on the ratings for that market's ABC affiliate, [[WPBF]]. However, Comcast removed WPLG from its West Palm Beach area systems on April 13, 2011. After the May 2009 ratings period, the station switched to a single anchor format for its evening newscasts; WPLG's total-day viewership fell behind CBS-owned WFOR, which took the #1 position among the market's English-language stations. However, WPLG remains tied with WSVN for second/third.

On July 18, 2008, Post-Newsweek Stations announced that it would purchase WTVJ for $205 million. The purchase would have created a duopoly between WTVJ and WPLG, duopolies involving two "Big Three" stations ordinarily would be prohibited under the FCC's media ownership rules, which do not allow duopolies involving two of a market's four highest-rated stations in terms of audience share; however during the May 2008 Nielsen ratings period, WPLG ranked in first place and WTVJ ranked sixth in total-day viewership, allowing the possibility of a purchase. Under the proposal, WTVJ would have merged its operations with WPLG at the studio facility (which was under construction at the time) on Hallandale Beach Boulevard in [[Pembroke Park]].<ref>[http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking_news/story/605477.html "WPLG-ABC 10 owner may buy WTVJ-NBC 6"]. ''[[Miami Herald]]'', July 15, 2008.</ref> However, the sale was cancelled on December 23, 2008, with [[NBC Universal]] and The Washington Post Company citing poor economic conditions and the lack of approval by the FCC.<ref name="wtvj-salecancel">{{cite news|url=http://www.nbc6.net/news/18348386/detail.html|title=Sale Of WTVJ To The Washington Post Company Terminated|date=December 23, 2008|work=[[WTVJ|NBC6.net]]|access-date=December 24, 2008|archive-date=February 3, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203205806/http://www.nbc6.net/news/18348386/detail.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On March 28, 2009, WPLG relocated its studio facilities from 3900 Biscayne Boulevard to the new Pembroke Park facility. As a result of this relocation, all of the South Florida market's "Big Three" network stations are based outside of the Miami city limits.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.justnews.com/video/18815011/index.html|title=Inside Local 10's New Home|website=JustNews|access-date=April 9, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302125925/http://www.justnews.com/video/18815011/index.html|archive-date=March 2, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.justnews.com/slideshow/slideshows/18956965/detail.html|title=Local 10's New Home: 3401 Hallandale Beach Blvd|website=JustNews|access-date=April 9, 2018}}{{Dead link|date=August 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

===Sale to Berkshire Hathaway===
In 2013, the Washington Post Company sold the ''Washington Post'' to [[Amazon (company)|Amazon]] founder and chairman [[Jeff Bezos]]; the company retained most of the other non-newspaper assets, including the Post-Newsweek broadcast outlets, and renamed itself Graham Holdings.

On March 12, 2014, Graham Holdings announced that it would sell WPLG to the [[BH Media]] subsidiary of [[Berkshire Hathaway]] in a cash and stock deal. Berkshire Hathaway and its chairman, [[Warren Buffett]], had been longtime stockholders in Graham Holdings; the sale of WPLG included a large majority of Berkshire Hathaway's shares in Graham Holdings.<ref name="bh-warren">{{cite web|title=Warren Buffett Buys Post-Newsweek's WPLG|url=https://tvnewscheck.com/uncategorized/article/warren-buffett-buys-post-newsweeks-wplg/|work=TVNewsCheck|date=March 12, 2014|access-date=June 4, 2022|archive-date=January 16, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220116082841/https://tvnewscheck.com/uncategorized/article/warren-buffett-buys-post-newsweeks-wplg/|url-status=live}}</ref> To maintain continuity following the consummation of the purchase, BH Media entered into agreements with Post-Newsweek Stations (renamed [[Graham Media Group]] in July 2014) to continue providing the station with access to its centralized digital media, design, and traffic services after the sale's completion.<ref>[https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101641893&qnum=5060&copynum=1&exhcnum=2 "Exhibit 7 – Exchange Agreement"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304090734/https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101641893&qnum=5060&copynum=1&exhcnum=2 |date=March 4, 2016 }}, ''CDBS Public Access'', [[Federal Communications Commission]], Retrieved April 21, 2014.</ref> The sale was finalized on June 30.<ref>[http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1642663&Service=DT&Form_id=905&Facility_id=53113 Consummation Notice] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714131834/http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1642663&Service=DT&Form_id=905&Facility_id=53113 |date=July 14, 2014 }}, ''CDBS Public Access'', [[Federal Communications Commission]], Retrieved July 2, 2014.</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20140706174252/http://www.ghco.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=62487&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1944087&highlight= Graham Holdings and Berkshire Hathaway Complete Deal for Berkshire Hathaway to Acquire WPLG-TV], Press Release, [[Graham Holdings Company]], July 1, 2014, Retrieved July 2, 2014.</ref>

=== ABC disaffiliation and switch to independent ===
WPLG's affiliation agreement expired at the end of 2024, but the station continued to carry ABC programming pending negotiations with ABC's parent, [[The Walt Disney Company]]. The station later announced its disaffiliation from ABC on March 20, 2025, and would become an [[independent station|independent]] effective August 4, ending a nearly 64-year relationship with the network.<ref name=":222">{{Cite web |last=Lyons |first=David |date=March 20, 2025 |title=WPLG-TV Local 10 cutting ties to ABC network.

==Programming==
===''Dr. Phil'' on WPLG===
In 2004, WPLG announced it had won a bidding war to air ''[[Dr. Phil (talk show)|Dr. Phil]]'' and ''[[Judge Judy]]'' starting in 2006.<ref>{{cite web|title=Big Changes at WPLG|url=http://www.sfltv.com/2004/big-changes-at-wplg/|website=SFLTV|publisher=Jimmy|access-date=September 6, 2014|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140906160049/http://www.sfltv.com/2004/big-changes-at-wplg/|archive-date=September 6, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> However, the station had a contractual stipulation not to air ''Dr. Phil'' in direct competition with ''[[The Oprah Winfrey Show]]'', also produced by [[Harpo Productions]]. WPLG's only option was to cancel its 5 p.m. newscast, forgoing its time slot to ''Dr. Phil'', preceded by ''Judge Judy'' at 4 p.m. This became the station's final decision.

Initially having moderate ratings, the change ended up being successful as WPLG ranked number 1 in the 5 p.m. time slot, beating out its competitors' 5 p.m. newscasts, and was able to tone viewers into its 6 p.m. newscast.<ref name="DrPhil">{{cite web|title=Dr. Phil good for WPLG health|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2006-12-01/business/0611300852_1_wb-and-upn-sign-off-station-rating|website=Sun-Sentinel|publisher=Tom Jicha|access-date=September 6, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180804050209/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2006-12-01/business/0611300852_1_wb-and-upn-sign-off-station-rating|archive-date=August 4, 2018}}</ref> This change was so successful that other local stations in the Miami and West Palm Beach markets started airing syndicated programming in place of local newscasts, such as WPTV, WTVJ, and WPBF.

===News operation===

In addition to local newscasts, WPLG produces the hour-long [[Sunday morning talk shows|political discussion]] program ''This Week in South Florida'', which debuted in 1990 and airs Sundays at 11:30&nbsp;a.m. From the show's inception until his retirement on December 18, 2022, the program was hosted by senior political reporter [[Michael Putney]]. Glenna Milberg, who has co-moderated the show since 2014, became the sole leader of the program upon Putney's retirement.<ref>{{cite news|last=Man|first=Anthony|title=Michael Putney readies to leave after more than three decades at WPLG-Ch. 10s 'This Week in South Florida'|url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/fl-ne-michael-putney-this-week-in-south-florida-television-20221216-lyyy67uatzca7avfjaxw652iby-story.html|publisher=South Florida Sun-Sentinel|accessdate=December 18, 2022}}</ref>

In 1979, WPLG deployed the first helicopter in the Miami market used for newsgathering, known as "Sky 10". The station became well known from 1976 to 1982 for its popular anchor team of Glenn Rinker, [[Ann Bishop (journalist)|Ann Bishop]], sports anchor Chuck Dowdle and meteorologist Walter Cronise. In 1982, the station adopted the ''[[Eyewitness News]]'' format for its newscasts, which was used until its news branding was changed to the generic ''Channel 10 News'' in 2001; that year, Rinker left for another position in [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] and was replaced as evening co-anchor by Mike Schneider. Schneider and Bishop remained paired as the station's lead anchor team until 1986, when Schneider left to become the 5:30 and 11&nbsp;p.m. co-anchor at CBS flagship station [[WCBS-TV]] in [[New York City]] and was replaced by general assignment reporter [[Dwight Lauderdale]] (who had been working at WPLG since 1976); Lauderdale's appointment as anchor made him the first African-American to anchor a nightly newscast in the South Florida market, and he remained the station's primary evening co-anchor until his retirement in 2008.

By 1985, WPLG had surpassed rival WTVJ (channel 4, now on channel 6) in the ratings and would dominate the ratings for over ten years. Ann Bishop would continue to serve as co-anchor for the station's evening newscasts until 1995, when she moved to a part-time position at the station until she died from [[colon cancer]] in 1997. Don Noe joined WPLG in 1979 and was one of Miami's most popular chief [[meteorologist]]s (Walter Cronise having moved to the morning newscasts) up until his retirement in 2007; Chuck Dowdle, meanwhile, had left by 1986 for fellow ABC station [[WSB-TV]] in [[Atlanta]]; his slot was filled by Khambrel Marshall, who later moved to WCIX/WFOR and then to WPLG's former sister station in Houston, [[KPRC-TV|KPRC]]. Since 1993, WPLG has used several versions of [[Gari Media Group]]'s "The One and Only" news music package, which took its name from a longtime slogan originally used by the station from 1979 to 1999 and was revived in 2014.

On March 28, 2009, in conjunction with the station's relocation to its Pembroke Park studios, WPLG became the third Miami station to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in [[High-definition television|high definition]]. On August 22, 2011, WPLG debuted an hour-long newscast at 5&nbsp;p.m., which replaced ''Dr. Phil'' after it moved back to WFOR-TV; the station had produced an early evening newscast in that timeslot previously until it was replaced by ''Dr. Phil'' in 2006.<ref>[https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/in-miami-wplg-returning-local-news-to-5-p-m/19629/ In Miami, WPLG Returning Local News to 5 p.m.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906034532/http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/in-miami-wplg-returning-local-news-to-5-p-m/19629 |date=September 6, 2017 }}, ''[[AdWeek]]'', August 17, 2011.

On March 10, 2021, it was announced that WPLG would start producing newscasts (under the ''Local 10 News'' branding) for WSFL-TV, allowing the latter to restore news content in some form to the station after the discontinuation of ''[[NewsFix]]'' in September 2018. ''Local 10 News'' on WSFL-TV began on June 1, 2021, with a two-hour extension of their weekday morning newscast from 7 to 9&nbsp;a.m., and a nightly newscast during the 10&nbsp;p.m. hour.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=March 10, 2021|title=WPLG And WSFL Partner On New Newscasts|url=https://tvnewscheck.com/journalism/article/wplg-and-wsfl-partner-on-new-newscasts/|access-date=|website=TVNewsCheck|archive-date=June 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624201053/https://tvnewscheck.com/journalism/article/wplg-and-wsfl-partner-on-new-newscasts/|url-status=live}}</ref> WSFL later replaced the WPLG-produced morning newscast with [[Scripps News]]' ''Morning Rush'' from 8 to 9:30 a.m. on May 6, 2024.

As part of becoming an independent station, WPLG increased its news output from 56 to 93 hours a week. The weekday morning news was extended to 11 a.m., and a weeknight prime time news block from 9 to 11 p.m. (which included the 10 p.m. newscast that formerly aired on WSFL) was added.{{r|TVNC250328}}
