Belo Corp. (pronounced /ˈbɛ.lo(ʊ)/) NYSE: BLC is a Dallas-based media company that owns 20 television stations and two regional cable television news channels. The company was previously known as A.H. Belo after one of the early owners of the company, Alfred Horatio Belo.
The company traces its roots back to 1842 with the introduction of The Daily News in Galveston, Texas. Its flagship, The Dallas Morning News, has been publishing since 1885. The name A.H. Belo Corporation was applied to the company in 1926. The name was shortened to Belo Corp. in 2002.
The company is the oldest continually-operated corporation in the state of Texas.
On October 1, 2007, Belo announced the separation of its newspaper and television businesses by spinning off its newspaper business to shareholders as the A. H. Belo Corporation, to be completed in early 2008. The television business will retain the Belo Corporation name (without the "A. H." initials). [1] The spinoff is structured so that the television business will become the legal successor to the current company, and the newspaper business will be a newly-created company. Current Belo chairman and CEO Decherd will become president and CEO of the new spinoff; the television business will be headed by current Belo president and COO Dunia A. Shive.

In addition, Belo operates websites for each of its properties. The sites were formerly part of a separate company, known as Belo Interactive. In late 2004, the company began the process of reintegrating the sites in to sister media properties. One of its most infamous investments was in the failed CueCat and its parent company, Digital Convergence. Belo integrated its media properties to be able to use the device, but it never took off.
Belo is also one of the major investors in Classified Ventures, LLC. áá
