About WSAZ:

WSAZ covers a wide, diverse area comprised of three states. Many small towns sit along the Ohio River and smaller rivers and streams run through rolling hills.

We enjoy all four seasons and the activities that come with each. Nature is always a short distance away, with many surrounding state parks and lakes for recreation. Within the larger towns and cities, there is a vibrant nightlife with many outstanding restaurants and local festivals throughout the year.

Since 1949, WSAZ has been the overwhelming number-one choice for Breaking News, Severe Weather coverage, and information in western West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and southern Ohio.

Our people, on-air and behind the scenes, are trusted friends and neighbors in the community. There is a culture within our walls that recognizes the responsibility we carry, to continue what was started more than sixty years ago. We take pride in our ratings, our content, our status, and the need to maintain the work ethic that got us to where we are.
