Media
Louisville's newspaper of record is The Courier-Journal, and the alternative paper is the progressive alt-weekly Louisville Eccentric Observer (commonly called 'LEO'), which was founded by 3rd district U.S. Representative John Yarmuth (D). Perhaps the most prominent of the television stations is WAVE 3, an (NBC) affiliate, which was Kentucky's first TV station. Another prominent TV station is WHAS 11, formerly owned by the famous Bingham family (who also owned The Courier-Journal), which hosts the regionally notable annual fundraiser, the WHAS Crusade for Children. WDRB-FOX41/WMYO is the only independently owned station in the city. The most popular radio station is 84 WHAS, also formerly owned by the Binghams (now Clear Channel Communications), a talk radio station which also broadcasts regional sports.
