Newton N. Minow is one of the great visionaries in television history. It is likely that WTTW – and indeed, public television – would not exist in its current form without him.

60th Anniversary: WTTW History
A NEW CHANNEL
In 1952, the Federal Communications Commission lifted a freeze on the number of television channels on the broadcast spectrum. Many of the new channels would be reserved for educational purposes, and Inland Steel Chairman Edward Ryerson made it his mission to make sure that Chicago secured a place on the dial. The Chicago Educational Television Association was formed by Ryerson and other civic leaders to lobby for, create, and fund a new public television station, and WTTW – Window To The World – was born.
