History

Brothers Greg Schimizzi (a Brooklyn psychologist) and Ernie Schimizzi doing business as Video Voice launched the station on October 4, 1994. [ [http://www.zoominfo.com/Search/PersonDetail.aspx?PersonID=16086260 ZoomInfo Web Profile: Gregory Schimizzi ] ] WVVH-LP came on the air on channel 23. In 2001, WVVH-LP moved to channel 50 since WFTY-TV would be broadcasting their digital signal on channel 23 and would cause potential interference to WVVH. In 2004, the station began webcasting its programming online.

The station changed its call letters to WVVH-CA on April 15, 2008. The change reflected its change from a Low-power broadcasting (LP) station to a Class A television service (CA).

On November 15, 2005, the station applied for a construction permit to begin digital broadcasting on their existing channel 50.
