WHSV-TV is the ABC affiliate for the Harrisonburg, Virginia market, DMA 181. WHSV signed on October 3, 1953 as WSVA, as a satellite of WMAL (now WJLA) and WRC in Washington, D.C. WHSV is owned by Gray Television. Its transmitter is located just west of Stanley, Virginia.
History
WHSV TV3 signed on October 3, 1953 as WSVA. It first aired some CBS and NBC programming. But majorly it was an ABC affiliate. In the 1970's WSVA became WHSV-TV in 1971, however, the station picked up Today, An NBC morning show, as ABC didn't have one. Later, it replaced it with Good Morning America in 1975. In the early 1990's, the news at noon. In the early 2000's, a newscast at 5pm was added. On February 27, 2006, WHSV started their 'Daybreak' Newscast at 5am, instead of the previous 5:30am.
WHSV will soon be seen on DISH Network. The WHSV signal is expected to be available by October 30, 2006 or sooner.
TV-3 Winchester
In the Winter of 2006, WHSV will pipe their syndicated programming and the ABC feed to Winchester, Virginia, to the new station "TV-3 Winchester", which will be broadcast digitally and carried on cable. Named so, after Harrisonburg, Virginia sister station, WHSV. "TV-3 Winchester" is a joint project with WHSV and Shenandoah University. Brad Ramsey, formerly the sports director/anchor, and more recently a sales account executive, at WHSV will handle general manager duties at the new station. At the beginning, the station will carry a local 7pm (no 6pm cast) and 11pm newscast, with morning newscasts coming in early 2007.
