WTOC-TV (channel 11) is a television station in Savannah, Georgia, United States, affiliated with CBS and owned by Gray Media.
On February 14, 1954, Knight took a great financial risk and established WTOC-TV as the first television station in the Savannah area.
As a condition of the AFLAC-Ellis broadcast merger, Raycom had to sell off WSAV, which Ellis had just bought a year earlier.
The cash-and-stock merger transaction valued at $3.6 billion – in which Gray shareholders would acquire preferred stock currently held by Raycom – resulted in WTOC becoming a sister station to CBS/NBC affiliate WRDW-TV and WAGT-CD in Augusta (while separating it from WFXG).
While WSAV and WJCL made a serious threat in the 1970s, WTOC has won every timeslot since 1980, often garnering more viewers than its rivals combined.
In 2006, an Emmy was awarded to Mike Manhatton and Zach Powers for Freedom Fighters, a story about 3rd Infantry Division soldiers in Iraq.
In 2007, Zach Powers, Alex Monarch, and Chris Clark won an Emmy for editing a special series on Rosa Parks.
On September 26, 2011, then-sister outlet Fox affiliate WFXG in Augusta launched its first ever in-house news operation.
In partnership with a news director based at WTOC in Savannah, WFXG hired multimedia journalists to shoot, edit, and report coverage in the Augusta area.
All anchors for news, weather and sports are provided by WTOC and the nightly prime time broadcast at 10 p.m. originates live from this station's studios.
