TV3 Winchester is an ABC affiliate serving the Winchester, Virginia, area. The station is owned by Gray Television, which also owns WHSV-TV, TV3 Winchester's parent station; the station is also available over-the-air on WHSV's DT3 subchannel out of Harrisonburg. TV3 Winchester is carried on Comcast cable channel 3 in Frederick, Clarke, and Warren counties and ShenTel Cable channel 101 in Shenandoah County. TV3 Winchester is not seen on any Harrisonburg cable systems, as the main WHSV channel is already available.
Along with Winchester, the station serves Frederick, Clarke, Warren, and Shenandoah counties in Virginia in news and sports gathering and weather coverage.
While the greater Winchester area is currently part of the Washington, DC television market, WHSV has requested that the region merge into the Harrisonburg market. The FCC has since honored that request.
History
TV3 Winchester was first announced at a press conference at Shenandoah University in 2005. Ground was broken for the new studios, which is located along Millwood Pike in Winchester, on March 1, 2006. The studios are shared with Shenandoah University's own cable-only station, "Winchester Community Television". Construction was completed in November 2006 and the station launched on March 5, 2007.
Brad Ramsey, formerly the sports director/anchor and more recently a sales account executive at WHSV, handles general manager duties.
Bill DuVall was hired in September 2006 as TV3's News Director. DuVall most recently worked at WVIR in Charlottesville, Virginia as a co-anchor of NBC29 News at Sunrise. DuVall is no stranger to the area, as he worked at former FOX affiliate WYVN (now WWPX) in Martinsburg, West Virginia from 1991 to 1994.
