'''WJHG-TV''', channel 7 is the [[NBC]] affiliate for [[Panama City, Florida]]. Owned by [[Gray Television]], its studios are located in [[Panama City Beach]] while its transmitter is located in [[Youngstown, Florida|Youngstown]].

'''Funeral''' are a [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[doom metal|funeral doom]] band formed in [[1991]] by Einar Frederiksen, Christian Loos, Thomas Angell, and Anders Eek<ref>[http://www.tartareandesire.com/bands/Funeral/683/ Funeral @ Tartarean Desire]</ref>. They are known as one of the pioneers of the [[funeral doom]] genre.


==History==
==History==
In [[1993]] the band recorded their first demo, entitled ''Tristesse'', released the [[1994|following year]] as a mini CD by an American record label. According to the official Funeral website this demo won them the title of "the most depressing band in the world". Funeral then made a decision to turn more symphonic and the result was shown on their demo ''Beyond All Sunsets''. In 1994 the band became one of the first doom metal bands to recruit a female vocalist, Toril Snyen. In [[1995]] they released the album ''Tragedies'', probably one of their more known albums. In the same year, they parted with Toril Snyen.


WJHG was founded in [[1953]] as '''WJDM-TV''', owned by businessman '''J.D. M'''anley. The station aired local programming such as church services and wrestling, and went as an independent for a period of time before securing a primary affiliation with NBC and secondary affiliations with [[CBS]] and [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. Mel Wheeler purchased the station in 1957, and in [[1960]], James Harrison Gray, the founder of Gray Communications, bought the station and changed the call letters to the current '''WJHG-TV''', after his initials.
The following year they went to England and recorded ten tracks at Academy Studios without vocals (because of lack of a vocalist) and worked with such bands as [[My Dying Bride]], [[Anathema (band)|Anathema]] and [[Cradle of Filth]]. Later the band recruited Sarah Eick as their female vocalist and finished five of the ten tracks, resulting in ''To Mourn Is a Virtue'', also known as "Demo '97" in [[1997]]. The 5 track demo CD is very rare as there were only a few copies distributed to record companies, radio stations and serious [[fanzine]]s world wide.


WJHG dropped CBS in the 1960s after [[WTVY (TV)|WTVY]] in [[Dothan, Alabama]] became the default CBS affiliate for Panama City as well. In [[1973]], WJHG became an exclusive ABC affiliate upon WDTB (channel 13, now [[WMBB]]) signed on and took the NBC affiliation. In [[1982]], WMBB and WJHG switched networks.
Again the band had to part with their vocalist. However, they quickly found a replacement and Hanne Hukkelberg was placed on the line-up as she had a good knowledge of music and was suitable for the band. Funeral produced another demo in [[1999]] entitled ''The Passion Play'', also known as "Demo '99", and it is once again rare as it was only distributed to record labels, radio stations and fanzines. In [[2002]] they released their album ''In Fields of Pestilent Grief'' through the Italian label Nocturnal Music.


In [[1998]], WJHG was almost sold when the Phipps family sold [[WCTV]] to Gray Communications. This would have violated the pre-[[1996]] ownership rules because WJHG's grade B signal covers the extreme western parts of the Tallahassee market. The 1996 [[Telecommunications Act]] allowed for overlapping fringe signals, so Gray kept WJHG. Instead, Gray ended up selling its flagship station, [[WALB]] in [[Albany, Georgia]], because its city-grade signal overlapped that of WCTV's in the Georgia portion of the Tallahassee market, still protected under FCC Rules.
[[2003]] was a tragic year for Funeral as their bassist/songwriter Einar Frederiksen committed suicide on [[January 10]] and the band was on hiatus for the rest of the year.


Then in [[2002]], Gray bought most of Benedek Broadcasting's stations, including WTVY, whose tower is located in [[Bonifay, Florida]], providing a signal that covers all the way from [[Fort Walton Beach, Florida]] to [[Troy, Alabama]]. By this time, signal contours were no longer an issue and Gray could keep both stations.
On [[October 28]], [[2006]], Funeral's guitarist Christian Loos was found dead in his home.
Since both stations are available on cable in both Dothan and Panama City, WJHG will run WTVY stories that take place in those parts of northwestern Florida that are in northern part of the Panama City market, and WTVY will run WJHG stories on Panama City and the coast. Sometimes, WTVY will run its own stories on Panama City, but WJHG does not cover Dothan at all.

The station used the "[[Circle 7]]" logo as far back as the 1950s without objection from the ABC television network. At some point ABC had trademarked the logo for use by its owned and operated stations that shared the dial position (Channel 7) in several major television markets across the nation. In 1982 when Gray Communications switched the WJHG-TV network affiliation to NBC the rival ABC network ordered WJHG to cease using the logo. Station manager Ray H. Holloway produced archival film and still photographs that showed the local station had been using the "Circle 7" logo longer than the network, but in order to bring the matter to a quick and satisfactory end the station elected to modify the logo. The modification was minor (the bottom of the circle was left open) but enough to pacify executives at ABC in New York who were upset over the station's decision to "defect" to NBC.
However, non-ABC stations still use designs similar to the Circle 7 logo including [[Ed Ansin]]'s [[WHDH]] (NBC) in Boston, and [[WSVN]] (FOX) in Miami.

When WJHG switched its network affiliation in 1982 NBC was at the bottom of the network rankings and ABC was at the top. The decision to switch was puzzling to many and the true reasons behind the switch were not publicized. However, shortly after the switch NBC enjoyed a resurgence in the ratings and displaced ABC as America's most watched television network. The ratings rally provided something of a vindication for WJHG and parent company Gray Communications.

WJHG-TV, channel 7 is the NBC affiliate for Panama City, Florida. Owned by Gray Television, its studios are located in Panama City Beach while its transmitter is located in Youngstown.

History

WJHG was founded in 1953 as WJDM-TV, owned by businessman J.D. Manley. The station aired local programming such as church services and wrestling, and went as an independent for a period of time before securing a primary affiliation with NBC and secondary affiliations with CBS and ABC. Mel Wheeler purchased the station in 1957, and in 1960, James Harrison Gray, the founder of Gray Communications, bought the station and changed the call letters to the current WJHG-TV, after his initials.

WJHG dropped CBS in the 1960s after WTVY in Dothan, Alabama became the default CBS affiliate for Panama City as well. In 1973, WJHG became an exclusive ABC affiliate upon WDTB (channel 13, now WMBB) signed on and took the NBC affiliation. In 1982, WMBB and WJHG switched networks.

In 1998, WJHG was almost sold when the Phipps family sold WCTV to Gray Communications. This would have violated the pre-1996 ownership rules because WJHG's grade B signal covers the extreme western parts of the Tallahassee market. The 1996 Telecommunications Act allowed for overlapping fringe signals, so Gray kept WJHG. Instead, Gray ended up selling its flagship station, WALB in Albany, Georgia, because its city-grade signal overlapped that of WCTV's in the Georgia portion of the Tallahassee market, still protected under FCC Rules.

Then in 2002, Gray bought most of Benedek Broadcasting's stations, including WTVY, whose tower is located in Bonifay, Florida, providing a signal that covers all the way from Fort Walton Beach, Florida to Troy, Alabama. By this time, signal contours were no longer an issue and Gray could keep both stations.

Since both stations are available on cable in both Dothan and Panama City, WJHG will run WTVY stories that take place in those parts of northwestern Florida that are in northern part of the Panama City market, and WTVY will run WJHG stories on Panama City and the coast. Sometimes, WTVY will run its own stories on Panama City, but WJHG does not cover Dothan at all.

Digital TV & Cable Channels

The station's digital channel is multiplexed:

7.4 VIPIR Weather

CW Panama City is available on Knology Channel 9, Comcast Channel 99 and Mediacom Channel 60. My7 is available on Knology channel 13,Comcast digital channel 245 and Mediacom Channel 78.

Analog-to-digital conversion

After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion, which is scheduled to take place on February 17, 2009 [1], WJHG-TV will move its digital broadcasts back to its present analog channel number, 7. [2]

Weather Coverage

WJHG uses the VIPIR Doppler system, and the chief meteorologist helped develop the technology while an employee of Baron Services.

Circle 7 Logo & Affiliation Changes

The station used the "Circle 7" logo as far back as the 1950s without objection from the ABC television network. At some point ABC had trademarked the logo for use by its owned and operated stations that shared the dial position (Channel 7) in several major television markets across the nation. In 1982 when Gray Communications switched the WJHG-TV network affiliation to NBC the rival ABC network ordered WJHG to cease using the logo. Station manager Ray H. Holloway produced archival film and still photographs that showed the local station had been using the "Circle 7" logo longer than the network, but in order to bring the matter to a quick and satisfactory end the station elected to modify the logo. The modification was minor (the bottom of the circle was left open) but enough to pacify executives at ABC in New York who were upset over the station's decision to "defect" to NBC. However, non-ABC stations still use designs similar to the Circle 7 logo including Ed Ansin's WHDH (NBC) in Boston, and WSVN (FOX) in Miami.

When WJHG switched its network affiliation in 1982 NBC was at the bottom of the network rankings and ABC was at the top. The decision to switch was puzzling to many and the true reasons behind the switch were not publicized. However, shortly after the switch NBC enjoyed a resurgence in the ratings and displaced ABC as America's most watched television network. The ratings rally provided something of a vindication for WJHG and parent company Gray Communications.
