History

The station began its life as ION Television|PAX affiliate '''WADA-LP''' in 1998. It first aired an analog signal on UHF channel 55 and later moved to UHF channel 27. In late-March 2005, owner Tiger Eye Broadcasting sold the station to Gray Television who proceeded to change the call letters to '''WAHU-CA'''. The station became a Fox affiliate and was integrated with WCAV and WVAW. Prior to WAHU's affiliation switch, Fox was available on cable from WTTG in Washington, D.C. That station was considered the default affiliate for the media market|market and is still seen on cable due to "significantly viewed" status from the FCC. Since 2006, the three stations have been the flagship of University of Virginia sports. On December 28, WAHU launched its digital signal on UHF channel 40. It was and continues to be offered in high definition on Comcast digital channel 213. While providing an over-the-air standard definition Fox feed on its first digital subchannel, the station began airing a dedicated MyNetworkTV channel on a new second one. Following this addition, the station shifted several programs to the subchannel. Prior to the addition of WAHU-DT2, the network was added on September 5, 2006 as a secondary affiliation on the main channel. As part of the launch, Comcast swapped WAHU's first cable location spot with WTTG. This moved WAHU to channel 9 in what is widely considered a preferential location. On March 14, 2008, WAHU-DT2 "My C'Ville TV" along with other television stations in Virginia aired the Virginia High School League championships basketball tournament for the first time. After performing a flash-cut, the station has been digitally-only since February 16, 2009. It also changed call letters to '''WAHU-LD'''. On February 18, it began broadcasting in high definition over-the-air. On March 13 and 14, "My C'ville TV" (as well as other stations in the state) aired the Virginia High School League basketball championships for a second time. On September 7, 2009, This TV started airing on WAHU-DT2.

There are no weekend local newscasts on WVAW. WAHU airs an hour long extension of ''Good Morning Charlottesville'' weekday mornings at 7 and a nightly 10 o'clock broadcast.
