WACH-TV (Virginia)

WACH-TV, UHF analog channel 33, was a commercial television station licensed to Newport News, Virginia, United States, which broadcast from 1953 until 1955 (with a gap of around four months in 1954).

[1] Operating as a sister station to WHYU radio (1270 kHz), it broadcast from the tallest structure in the Lower Peninsula, its tower at 114 24th Street in downtown.

[2] Its schedule consisted mainly of sports and mystery shows,[1] with five hours a day of programs such as Crusader Rabbit, All American Football and Ringside with Rasslers.

[5] The night before, its schedule had consisted of just four programs repeated in a loop: a newscast, Crusader Rabbit, Short Subjects, and Hornliegh on Holiday.

[10] The WACH radio license and TV construction permit were sold to Richard Eaton's United Broadcasting later that year;[11] the TV station construction permit, which remained in force, briefly took on the WYOU-TV call letters concurrent with the change of the radio station from WACH to WYOU.
