WTVJ, virtual channel 6, is an NBC owned-and-operated television station licensed to Miami, United States and serving Fort Lauderdale. The station is owned by the NBC Owned Television Stations subsidiary of NBCUniversal, as part of a duopoly with Fort Lauderdale-licensed WSCV, a flagship station of the co-owned Telemundo network; the two stations share studios on Southwest 27th Street in Miramar. The station first signed on the air on March 21, 1949 at 12:00 p.m. WTVJ was the first television station to sign on in the state of Florida, the 16th station in the United States. Broadcasting on VHF channel 4, the station was founded by Wometco Enterprises, a national movie theater chain, headquartered in Miami; the station's original studio facilities were located in the former Capitol Theater on North Miami Avenue in Downtown Miami, the first theater operated by Wometco when the company was founded in 1926. The station was a primary CBS affiliate, but carried programming from the other three major broadcast networks of that era.

During the late 1950s, the station was briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network. WTVJ was the only commercial television station in the Miami market until Fort Lauderdale-based WFTL-TV signed on the air on December 24, 1954, operating as an NBC affiliate. However, WFTL had no success whatsoever in competing against WTVJ, in part because television sets were not required to have UHF tuning capability until the All-Channel Receiver Act went into effect in 1964. NBC continued to allow WTVJ to cherry-pick programs broadcast by the network until WCKT signed on in July 1956 and WFTL went dark. Channel 4 shared ABC programming with WCKT, by way of an arrangement with the network to allow both stations to cherry-pick programming. Although ABC had a full-time affiliate in WITV, due to the aforementioned lack of UHF penetration at that time, this arrangement continued until WPST-TV signed on in August 1957. WTVJ served as the de facto CBS affiliate for West Palm Beach, until WTVX signed on in 1966.

WTVJ served as the producing station for CBS' Jackie Gleason Show after Gleason moved the program from New York City to Miami Beach in 1964. Wometco founder and president Mitchell Wolfson died in 1983 and a long-rumored secret plan to run the company after his death was never found; the remaining Wolfson heirs had no desire to keep the company in the family, it unraveled, making it a ripe takeover target. Investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. took over Wometco in 1984 in a $1 billion deal, the largest corporate buyout in history to that date. KKR sold most of Wometco's entertainment assets to the latter company's chief operating officer Arthur Hertz in 1985. With the cash from this sale, KKR purchased Storer Broadcasting's station properties, shortly after the Federal Communications Commission raised the television station ownership limit from seven stations to twelve. KKR's intent was to sell the properties within a few years at a higher price. In 1986, KKR opted to put the Storer stations on the market.

The firm had plans to sell channel 4 for a record price of close to $500 million, although the station was worth far less. CBS saw a chance to acquire an owned-and-operated station in the fast-growing Miami market. However, it lost a bidding war to television syndication company Lorimar-Telepictures. CBS, tried to block the deal. Thus, CBS threatened to yank its affiliation with WTVJ if the Lorimar deal went through, which would force the station to become an independent. Lorimar walked away from the group deal in May 1986, CBS made an offer to buy WTVJ for $170 million, far below KKR's asking price of at least $270 million. Over the next few months, the only offers to buy WTVJ came from companies that owned large groups of independent stations, such as Tribune Broadcasting, Pappas Telecasting Companies and Chris-Craft Industries/United Television; these and other companies wanted to convert WTVJ into an independent station or a Fox affiliate, for a price far lower than KKR's asking price. The only way that KKR could make such a large profit was to sell WTVJ to another network, as some potential buyers had no interest in keeping CBS while the only ones that could purchase the station for the asking price were ABC and NBC.

CBS did not believe that KKR would sell WTVJ to another network, so it returned with a low offer. KKR turned CBS's offer down out of hand and approached the other networks. ABC was not interested, since it was more than satisfied with its longtime affiliate, WPLG. However, NBC was interested because its longtime affiliate, WSVN preempted the network's daytime lineup—including programs that the network aired in the noon timeslot, in favor of running a local newscast—as well as an occasional prime time show. NBC was far less tolerant of preemptions than CBS and ABC at the time, was annoyed at losing valuable advertising in such a fast-growing market; this had not been a problem at first since most of the programs that were pree

The women's 3 metre springboard competition of the diving events at the 2015 Pan American Games will be held on July 12 at the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House in Toronto, Canada. The winner of the competition will qualify his country a quota place for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. If the host nation of the Olympics wins the event, the runner up will qualify instead; the individual diving competitions all consist of two rounds. In the first, the divers each perform five dives; the best 12 divers in the preliminaries advance to the final. In the final round, the divers perform a final set of five dives, with the scores from those dives used to determine final ranking. Seven judges evaluate each dive, giving the diver a score between 0 and 10 with increments of 0.5. The two highest and two lowest scores from each judge are dropped; the remaining three scores are summed, multiplied by the degree of difficulty of the dive to give the total score for the dive.

Scores from each dive in the round are summed to give the round score. Green denotes finalists

Lottie Gilson was a popular comedian and vaudeville singer of the 1880s and 1890s. She was billed as "The Little Magnet" in recognition of her ability to engage audiences. Due to her popularity, she was much sought-after by Tin Pan Alley publishers to boost sheet music sales. Songs associated with Gilson include "The Sunshine of Paradise Alley", "The Little Lost Child", "The Sidewalks of New York", "My Mother Was a Lady", she was born Lydia Deagon in Switzerland. Details of her early life are unknown including when she first came to the United States and when she made her stage debut; the first record of her performing is in 1884, at the Bowery's Old National Theatre, where she became a regular act. Her success at Old National led to engagements at top New York theaters of the day: Tony Pastor's, Henry Miner's, Hyde & Behman's, she was soon established as one of the top soubrettes of vaudeville. She appeared at Miner's Theatre and Tony Pastor's new 14th Street Theatre in Lower Manhattan and Hyde & Behman's in Brooklyn.

Like many vaudeville stars, Gilson was known not for her singing talent, but for her personality and showmanship. Her rapport with her audience and talent for attracting customers earned her the nickname "The Little Magnet", which became part of her billing. In the beginning, her act was ballads and tear-jerkers. After a few years she expanded into bawdy comical songs, such as "You're Not the Only Pebble on the Beach", she pioneered methods of engaging the audience that were so copied they became cliches. One was the use of a hand-mirror to reflect the spotlight into the audience, shining it on male customers and thus making them a part of her act; the practice of cajoling the audience to sing along on the chorus was another of Gilson's trademarks. A staged variation of audience participation involved a teenage boy in the balcony—ostensibly a customer, but a shill—who is inspired to sing with or to the performer. Gus Edwards was one such balcony-singer. Gilson was in the forefront of another vaudeville practice, taking money from Tin Pan Alley sheet music publishers to promote songs by including them in her act.

Her popularity made her attractive to publishers, who could be sure that songs would be heard and appreciated by a large audience when she sang them. According to publisher and songwriter E. B. Marks, Gilson could "draw tears from an audience with a vapid song". Marks's "The Little Lost Child", her promotion played a role in the success of "The Sidewalks of New York". Lottie Gilson died June 1912 in New York City.
