WHUM-TV
WHUM-TV was a television station broadcasting on channel 61 in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States. Owned by Humboldt Greig alongside WHUM (1240 AM), the station—Reading's first—telecast from 1953 to 1956. It boasted the first ever high-powered UHF transmission facility, which spurred industry interest but also caused some technical issues; the station ultimately suffered from many of the same economic problems that befell other early UHF television outlets.
