WCTV company history timeline

1955

On August 29, 1955, the station began airing a test pattern as its test broadcast.

1964

Until the 1964 FCC requirement that all new sets have all-channel capability, UHF stations were un-viewable without a converter, and even with one, the picture quality was marginal at best.

1987

Wilmington Community Television (WCTV) is a non-profit organization established in 1987 to serve the residents of Wilmington, Massachusetts.

1996

WCTV had been the default CBS affiliate for Albany for many years. It was owned by the Phipps family until being sold to Gray Communications, now Gray Television, in 1996.

2004

In 2004, Gray purchased WSWG in Valdosta, a UPN affiliate for the Albany market.

2006

In March 2006, WCTV moved from its longtime studios on County Road 12 in northern Leon County (approximately midway between Tallahassee and Thomasville) to new facilities on Halstead Boulevard in Tallahassee.

2009

On February 17, 2009, WCTV shut off its analog signal on channel 6, and became digital-exclusive on UHF channel 46.

2019

With the sale of WSWG to Marquee Broadcasting (enabling Gray to re-acquire WALB as part of its buyout of Raycom Media), that arrangement was formally broken in April 2019 after a transitional period.
