| About Our Company |
WAVY-TV, Channel 10, signed on the air September 1, 1957, as the NBC affiliate in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Originally started by Tidewater Teleradio as an offshoot to their radio station, WAVY-AM (now known as WGH-AM), WAVY-TV was purchased in 1968 by LIN Broadcasting, Inc. now LIN Media.
Since its inception, WAVY-TV has set the standard in Hampton Roads television. It was the first local station to broadcast in living color (1957); the first to utilize a helicopter in its news gathering activities (1982); and the first to broadcast in stereo (1985). WAVY-DT signed on March 22, 2001: the first digital station in Hampton Roads! In 2008, we began broadcasting in High Definition proving again that we are in the forefront in the industry.
WAVY-TV also leads the way in local News broadcasts. It was the first local station to offer 90 minutes of local evening news (1994); the first to broadcast a 5:00 AM and 5:30 AM newscast (1992); and the first to offer a Saturday Morning newscast (1995).
In 1995, WAVY-TV entered into a local marketing agreement with Hampton Roads independent station, WVBT-TV (now also known as FOX 43). On January 31, 2002, LIN Television purchased FOX 43.
