== History ==
WAYS was launched on April 20, 1981 as WBRV, by the Brevard County Local Broadcasting Association. Launched as independent station, WBRV aired kids programming during the morning, followed by off-network syndication during the afternoon and movies throughout the night. WBRV also aired religious programming all day Sunday. In 1993, the Prime Time Entertainment Network was getting ready to launch and they needed affiliates. WAYS agreed to become charter members of the PTEN. In 2006, WBRV changed its call letters to the current "WAYS", formerly used by CW affiliate WCCW in Charlotte.
