WTHI-TV

WTHI-TV is a CBS affiliated television station in Terre Haute, Indiana. It operates on virtual and VHF digital channel 10. Its transmitter is located in Farmersburg, Indiana. Syndicated programming on WTHI includes: Ellen, Live with Kelly and Ryan, Entertainment Tonight, and Everybody Loves Raymond.

History
Starting operations on July 22, 1954, WTHI served as the market's only television station until 1965, when WTWO broadcast for the first time. The station has always been a CBS affiliate. However, on various occasions, it has also carried selected programs from ABC, NBC, UPN, and until its demise, DuMont.

The station was founded by local businessman and Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony Hulman. His family owned the station until 1999, when it was sold to Emmis Communications. Emmis, in turn, sold the station to LIN TV in August 2005. LIN also owns three other CBS affiliates in Indiana (including WISH-TV in Indianapolis).

Local news had been in existence since the beginning. The newscast was known during the late 1970s and early 1980s as "NewsCenter 10". The title was changed to "Action 10 News" in 1985, and modified to "Action 10 News-WTHI" in 2001. On September 18, 2006, the branding was changed to "News 10". A new logo and graphics package was also premiered. The news graphics they choose were the old Gannett graphics. It is currently the only station in the country to use the "old Gannett graphics."

Local programs of the past featured Jerry Van Dyke of Coach and My Mother the Car fame, and "Captain Jack" Hanes, whose most famous guest was Larry Bird.
