Who was the first Virginia station to go all local color? For years I believed that honor had went to WAVY but recently I was told by family in Roanoke that WDBJ had went color as early as 1964. Of course I wasn't around back in those days so I don't know.

Richmond's WTVR....recently they expanded their viewing area by appearing on cable as far north as Winchester..all the way to the West Virginia state line. Dittos with Charlottesville's WVIR NBC 29. I was shocked to see both stations on cable at my sister's house which is only a few feet away from the West Virginia state line. Four NBC affiliates..one cable system..WHAG, WVIR, WBAL and of course WRC and for CBS..WUSA, WJZ and now WTVR. Not too many of those around anymore.
