Several KNN kids have gone on to pursue careers in television news or public relations in central Ohio. Throughout much of the 1990s and early years of the millennium, WBNS-TV was home to the 10TV Kids News Network (KNN) a local show, "produced by kids, for kids." The half-hour show aired Saturday mornings. The station also featured " Fritz the Nite Owl," who hosted midnight movies during the 1970s, and the Sunday state government talk show called Capital Square in the 1990s. WBNS-TV was known for its locally produced shows Flippo the Clown, Luci's Toyshop, Franz the Toymaker, The Judge, and programs hosted by popular Columbus Zoo and Aquarium personality Jack Hanna ( Hanna's Ark). The Wolfe family, who purchased the Dispatch in 1905, sold the newspaper and related assets to New Media Investment Group in June 2015. The FCC has largely prohibited common ownership of co-located print and broadcast media since the mid-1970s. Channel 10 maintained common ownership with The Columbus Dispatch, the city's lone remaining daily newspaper and the "N" in the station's call letters, until 2015 under an exemption of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s cross-ownership rules. The WBNS call letters stand for "Wolfe Bank Newspaper and Shoes", the businesses owned by the company's longtime owners, the Wolfe family. It is also one of only a few stations in the country to have had the same call letters and primary network affiliation throughout its history. Channel 10 has used the on-air branding of 10TV since 1977. It is currently the ninth longest-tenured CBS affiliate. ![]() WBNS radio had been a CBS Radio Network affiliate for almost 20 years, so channel 10 immediately joined the CBS television network.
