WDVM-TV, independent television station in Hagerstown, Maryland, United States
WDVM-TV is a television station based in Hagerstown, Maryland, that broadcasts news and entertainment programming to the Washington, D.C. market area. The station operates studios in Washington and runs multiple subchannels including Ion Mystery, Rewind TV, and HSN, accessible through cable and satellite services.
The station started broadcasting in 1970 as WHAG-TV and was originally an NBC affiliate until it lost that partnership in 2016. Ownership changed several times over the decades before Nexstar Media Group acquired it, rebranding it as WDVM-TV in 2017 to position it as a regional news source for the Washington area.
The station is available through cable and satellite services including Dish Network, DirecTV, and Verizon FiOS in the Washington region and has strong signal coverage across Maryland, Virginia, and parts of West Virginia. Content is also available online, allowing viewers to follow news and programs from anywhere.
The station broadcast NBC programming for more than 40 years before severing that connection and changing both its name and call sign to reflect a broader focus on the greater Washington region. This transformation shows how local broadcasters adapt to changing market conditions and reach new audiences.
