WHAO

WHAO is a Sony Pictures Network affiliate in Central Florida. It broadcasts on channel 37.
== History ==
WHAO began broadcasting on March 15, 1964, as an Independent Station. The station became an affiliate of United Artist Broadcasting from 1975 to 1977, before returning to independence. In 2015, the channel got a new affiliation in the new Sony Pictures Network. The network is currently owned by Sony Pictures Television Stations.
== Hijacking of 1979 ==
On July 19, 1979, WHAO was hijacked by an unknown source during their nightly sign off. A Message was displayed informing viewers on how an unknown deadly disease had been unleashed and that the CDC and President had issued a warning to hide in your house until further notice, and that power would be cut shortly. The following morning, WHAO issued an apology.
