Do not fill this in! === Television === [[WWMT]], West Michigan's [[CBS]] / [[The CW|CW]] affiliate, is licensed and operates out of Kalamazoo but serves the entire West Michigan region. The station was originally owned and operated by famous broadcasting pioneer (and former [[Detroit Tigers]] owner) [[John Fetzer]], as "WKZO-TV". Along with television, Fetzer introduced Kalamazoo to radio in 1931, when AM 590 [[WKZO (AM)|WKZO]] signed on the air. Fetzer also created Kalamazoo's first [[cable television]] system, then known as Fetzer Cablevision; it is a predecessor of Kalamazoo's current cable franchise, [[Charter Communications]]. Public Media Network, located in downtown Kalamazoo, hosts media outlets including Charter cable channels 187-191 where daily public access programs are produced and aired to the public. Kalamazoo is part of the [[template:Grand Rapids TV|West Michigan television market]], which also includes Grand Rapids and Battle Creek. Most channels that serve the entire market are receivable in Kalamazoo, including WWMT, [[WOOD-TV]] ([[NBC]]), [[WXMI]] ([[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]), [[WZPX]] ([[Ion Television|Ion]]) and [[WLLA]] (religious). Some channels based in the northern part of the market reach Kalamazoo through a satellite or translator, such as [[WTLJ]] Muskegon (religious, through W26BX), [[WGVU-TV]] Grand Rapids ([[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]], through WGVK), and [[WXSP-CD]] Grand Rapids ([[MyNetworkTV]], through WOKZ-CA). [[WOTV]] in Battle Creek broadcasts [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] programming for the southern part of the market, including Kalamazoo. Charter offers all West Michigan channels on its system to Kalamazoo subscribers, including [[WZZM]], the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids and the northern part of the market.
