The building housing the transmitters for WVIA-FM and WVIA-TV was destroyed by fire on February 12, 2010.^[6] WVIA-FM resumed broadcasting at low power on February 17, 2010,^[7] and returned to full-power at 12PM on August 3, 2010.^[8]

WVIA-FM has operated a translator at 89.3 FM in Williamsport since the late 1970s. In 2001, WVIA-FM's owners signed on WVYA, a full-power Class A station, to provide better coverage in that area.
