[edit] Summary

Found at the station's website (cropped from the header image; it has been cropped for our purposes and converted to PNG — the source has since been modified; this is how it appeared when I cropped it), this is the current logo for WAPT. This image is copyright WAPT and Hearst-Argyle, and hence is not free. However, it is used under fair use as described below:

Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement.

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for WAPT (TV)
Description	This is a logo for WAPT (TV).
Source	The logo is from the WAPT website.
Article	WAPT (TV)
Portion used	The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
Purpose of use	The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing WAPT (TV), a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.
Replaceable?	Because it is a logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
