Before Feb. 28, 1971, Louisville-area television viewers had just three choices: WAVE-3, WHAS-11 and WLKY-32. The "Big Three" networks ... those were your only options in those pre-cable, pre-satellite days. But on that date, a fourth station took to the airwaves from, of all places, a former garage. At first, WDRB was an independent station, and success among independents in those days was far from a guarantee. However, for little WDRB ― much like Evansville's WEVV, which signed on 12 years later, also as an independent ― success came through doing things the other stations did not do, like airing wrestling shows, horror movies, kids' shows and other programming. It seems simple, but it worked. And by the early 1980s, WDRB was on a solid footing ... so solid that, like WEVV, it was among the first group of affiliates for a new network called Fox.
