Studios of KCPQ and KZJO in Seattle

KCPQ (channel 13) is a television station licensed to Tacoma, Washington, U.S.,
broadcasting the Fox network in the Seattle area. It is owned and operated by
the network and shares its studios in Seattle with KZJO. Built in 1953, it
signed on as KMO-TV and was soon acquired by Seattle broadcaster J. Elroy McCaw,
who ran it as KTVW cheaply. His estate sold the station in 1972; it fell into
court-appointed receivership in 1974 and was taken off the air. The Clover Park
School District acquired the station, which it used to replace KPEC-TV, and
operated it as public television station KCPQ between 1976 and 1980. Due to
financial exigencies, the school district sold the station to commercial
interest Kelly Broadcasting in 1980. KCPQ became a successful independent
station, affiliated with Fox in 1986, and started producing local newscasts.
Tribune Broadcasting acquired the station in 1999; Fox purchased it in 2020 from
Nexstar Media Group after multiple attempts to own a station in the market.

Silver certificates are a type of representative money issued between 1878 and
1964 in the United States as part of its circulation of paper currency. They
were produced in response to silver agitation by citizens who were angered by
the Coinage Act of 1873, which had effectively placed the United States on a
gold standard. Since 1968 they have been redeemable only in Federal Reserve
Notes and are thus obsolete, but they remain legal tender at their face value
and hence are still an accepted form of currency. These are six banknotes from
the 1880 series of large-size silver certificates, designed by the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and comprising eight denominations from $1 to $1000. Each
banknote bears a portrait of a different individual, identified above.
