Group W

Group W was a subdivision of Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Also known as Westinghouse Broadcasting Company, the company handled Westinghouse's television and radio operations, owning several stations across the United States and distributing television shows for syndication. They owned stations from various networks, until 1995, when they entered an agreement with CBS prior to merging with CBS. Network swaps took place in several markets due to this agreement.

After the merger, Group W Productions was renamed Eyemark Entertainment. Today, the Group W/Eyemark library are owned by King World Productions, following the latter company's acquisition by CBS Enterprises in 2000.

The stations are best known for the distinctive font (called "Anklepants") they adopted in the late 1960s. Many of the former Group W stations still use this font today.
