WKRN-TV was founded in 1953 by the Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Tennessee when the company decided to venture into the television industry. The station has been bought and sold several times, with the most recent change in ownership happening with Nexstar Media Group, one of the largest television broadcasting companies in the United States. Operating out of Nashville, Tennessee, WKRN-TV covers a wide range of news topics including local, regional, and national News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports. They also feature sections on Health, Politics, and Entertainment, providing a comprehensive news service to the citizens of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. One interesting fact: WKRN-TV has a unique "News 2 Gives Back" program, where each week, they highlight a different local public service department, take them lunch, and feature them on the news. This initiative not only allows WKRN-TV to give back to the community but also provides an opportunity for viewers to know more about the public service teams that work within their neighborhoods.
