A History of Innovation

About Hubbard Cincinnati: KSTP-AM provides first live coverage of a United States Open golf tournament with portable transmitter wheeled around course in daughter Alice Hubbard’s baby carriage
In the 1920s, KSTP-AM provides first live coverage of a United States Open golf tournament with portable transmitter wheeled around course in daughter Alice Hubbard’s baby carriage.

During its infancy, our company literally spent time in a stroller. To provide the first live coverage of a U.S. Open Golf Tournament, Stanley E. Hubbard's daughter's baby carriage was used to wheel around a portable transmitter. What a fitting way to illustrate how innovation has been par for the course at Hubbard Broadcasting since the beginning.

Starting with the world’s first advertiser-supported radio station, the following 9 decades of Hubbard Broadcasting included the formation of the first national radio news service, the purchase of the first TV camera, the creation of Satellite News Gathering (SNG) and broadcasting the first high-power DBS programming direct to U.S. homes.

The last 20 years have seen the creation of REELZCHANNEL, a cable/satellite TV network dedicated to entertainment and connecting viewers to everything about movies. And the birth of 2060 Digital, LLC, a full-service digital media company. It’s another step that helps us continue to connect with people and the communities we serve.

Hubbard encourages innovation through various programs designed to spur employees to think beyond the norm and share their ideas, no matter how baby-carriage-transmitter crazy they may be.
