WTVR

**Not related to the real-life CBS affiliate in Richmond, Virginia.
WTVR is the ABC affiliate licensed to Reinmont, Pennsylvania, and also serving Richmond Hills. It is owned by Confection Broadcasting, as part of a duopoly with Fox affiliate WXZP.
== History ==
WTVR's inaugural program was WKRP in Cincinnati, which aired at its time of sign-on on September 19, 1980. Channel 8, branded as Great TV 8, was an independent, airing various movies, sitcoms, and cartoons throughout the day. From midnight to 4 a.m., the station aired classic cartoons from the '50s-'60s, with a target audience of adults who watched the shows when they were young. The block lasted until 1982.
In August 1983, the station became a full-time affiliate of ABC. Previously, select programs from the network aired on WHZI from 1959 to 1983. The station picked up some first-run syndicated programs like Donahue, but many of the shows from the station's days as an independent remained. Originally, no newscasts aired on channel 8, but an 11 p.m. show was introduced in 1986. The newscasts, airing as 8 News, were successful, and weekend 11 p.m. and weekday 6 p.m. newscasts were added in 1988.
In 1989, Confection Broadcasting bought the station and created Fox affiliate WXZP, making the two sister stations. A pre-recorded, half-hour 10 p.m. newscast under the brand 8 News on Fox 3 premiered on WXZP later that year.
Quickly, WTVR became the number two station in Richmond Hills and Reinmont. A morning newscast, 8 News Morning Report, debuted in the 6 a.m. slot on June 15, 1992. The station also got the rights to Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, airing them in the 7 p.m. hour (replacing Mama's Family and A Current Affair, both of which moved to WXZP).
In 1996, WTVR began producing an hour-long 7 a.m. extension of Morning Report to air on channel 3. This was replaced with a simulcast of channel 8's broadcast in 1998. Earlier in that year, The Maury Povich Show moved from channel 8 to Fox 3. The former station debuted a 5 p.m. newscast in its place; this was cancelled the following year due to low ratings, with Leeza taking its place, but the newscast was reinstated in 2000 and remains to this day. 
The WXZP 10 p.m. newscast was expanded to one hour in 2002. A simulcast of 8 News at 11 was also added, creating a 90-minute late news block. 
After The Oprah Winfrey Show ended in 2011, the station premiered a 4 p.m. newscast called First @ Four. News broadcasts were rebranded to ABC 8 News Now, retiring the 8 News name which had been in use since 1986.
Syndicated programming on WTVR includes Tamron Hall, Jeopardy!, and weekend reruns of Wipeout.
== Subchannels ==
Since 2004, WTVR has aired a simulcast of their Doppler radar on their second subchannel. The channel will carry ABC programs in the event they are preempted on 8.1 due to breaking news or severe weather coverage.
