H&C Communications

H&C Communications is a now defunct corporation that owned a number of media outlets throughout the United States.

Originally known as Channel 2 Television Company, it was created in 1983 to unite the Hobby family's television & radio interests under one umbrella after the Houston Post, their flagship business, was sold. The family had been involved in broadcasting since the 1920s.

In 1994, the Hobby family fully relinquished control and by the end of 1995, the H&C stations were sold off to various owners.
