Expanded History:
Television on channel 7 begins in 1950, when Times World and the Polan Bros. of Huntington both applied for channel 7. Soon, the Polan Bros. instead filed a competing application for channel 10. The first station in the Roanoke valley, WROV-TV, went dark after only three months. Radio Roanoke (owner of WROV-AM 1240 and WROV-FM 103.7) filed a competing application for channel 7. Eventually, it was resolved with an agreement that Times World (owner of WDBJ-AM 960 and WDBJ-FM 94.9) would buy the UHF equipment of the now-dark WROV-TV, and in exchange Radio Roanoke would withdraw their application.
10/03/1955: WDBJ-7 signed on from Mill Mountain with studios in the Mountain Trust Bank Building.
--/--/1957: WDBJ-7 moved to a transmitter on Poor Mountain.
--/--/1969: WDBJ-7 was purchased by Schurz Communications.
04/20/2002: WDBJ-7 moved to studios in its new "Digital Broadcast Center" on Hershberger Road.
04/30/2002: WDBJ-DT signed on with a full-powered signal.
--/--/2004: WDBJ became the first in the market to invest in high-definition recording equipment. This allowed them to air a selection of movies from Paramount in high-definition.
09/05/2006: WDBJ-DT 7-2 "Seven Too" joined My Network TV.
09/11/2006: WDBJ-DT began carrying Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy in HD, the first HD syndicated programming in the market.
