Sinclair shuttered the local news department in January 2002. The station's local newscasts failed to make headway against the established stations in the Triad. It also picked up a secondary affiliation with UPN, which became channel 48's primary programming when the simulcast was split the next year. In 1995, as a result of regional ABC affiliate WGHP switching to Fox, channel 45 became an ABC affiliate under new WXLV call letters and began broadcasting local news programming. Act III combined the station's schedule and programming with Greensboro independent WGGT in 1991, creating a simulcast. WNRW became the market's first Fox affiliate in 1986 TVX then sold it to Act III Broadcasting in 1986 in order to acquire a station in the adjacent Raleigh market. After a gunman killed the general sales manager in 1984, TVX renamed the station WNRW, incorporating his initials. It was sold to Television Corporation Stations-later renamed TVX Broadcast Group-in 1980 and changed its call sign to WJTM-TV, becoming the Triad's first general-entertainment independent station. Both stations share studios on Myer Lee Drive (along US 421) in Winston-Salem, while WXLV-TV's transmitter is located in Randleman (along I-73/ US 220).Ĭhannel 45 went on the air in 1979 as WGNN-TV, a Christian-oriented TV station. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside Greensboro-licensed MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYV (channel 48). WXLV-TV (channel 45) is a television station licensed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States, serving as the ABC affiliate for the Piedmont Triad region.
