MY'STORY

The MOVE Fire

This is a personal recollection on the Move fire on May 13, 1985 Philadelphia police fired thousands of rounds at the MOVE house, city officials approved dropping an explosive device on the roof, the resulting fire was allowed to burn, 11 people—including five children—died, and 61 homes were destroyed. Philadelphia City Council later called it a “brutal attack carried out by the City of Philadelphia on its own citizens” and acknowledged that no individual faced criminal consequences for the bombing. One timeline correction worth preserving for the BHP record: the major previous MOVE-police confrontation was August 8, 1978, about seven years before the bombing, not a year or two earlier. Officer James Ramp was killed, other police and firefighters were wounded, nine MOVE members were later convicted, and television cameras recorded police beating Delbert Africa during his arrest. The 1985 MOVE Commission later specifically criticized city planners for failing to adequately use lessons from that 1978 confrontation. And that actually strengthens the point you’re making: 1985 did not happen without precedent or institutional memory. There had already been a deadly confrontation with MOVE, years of conflict, negotiations and police involvement before Osage Avenue.

History

[edit]

The CW and MyNetworkTV first appeared in Eureka respectively on KUVU-LP (channel 9) and KEMY-LP (channel 33), both analog-only stations and the latter a semi-satellite of KRVU-LP in Redding, as part of the Eureka Broadcast Group, which owned CBS affiliate KVIQ and several other stations with affiliations to Fox, UPN, The WB and others. KUVU and KEMY were dissolved in 2014 and Bonten Media Group, who had purchased most of the Eureka Broadcast Group stations including KUVU and KEMY in 2012, launched KECA as a digital replacement for the two defunct stations in the Eureka market.

On April 21, 2017, Sinclair Broadcast Group purchased KECA as part of a four-station deal.[2] The sale was completed September 1.[3]

In June 2020, Sinclair upgraded the station's facilities to HD.
