WAVY-TV, the third-oldest television station in the Hampton Roads area, debuted on September 1, 1957. In 1959, it traded network affiliations with NBC affiliate WVEC-TV (channel 13), which it had first signed on as an ABC affiliate. It was the second station owned by what was then known as LIN Broadcasting when it launched in 1968. On March 21, 2014, Media General announced that it would purchase LIN Media for $1.6 billion in a “merger” transaction. Meredith called off the planned merger with Media General and received a $60 million termination fee that had been negotiated as part of the initial merger contract.

In exchange for granting Meredith first refusal on any broadcast or digital properties that might be disposed of, Media General inked an agreement to be bought by Nexstar. On January 11, 2017, the FCC approved the deal; on January 17, the sale was completed, and the current Nexstar stations and former Media General outlets that neither group had to sell became part of the rebranded Nexstar Media Group.
