WOAI-TV is an NBC-affiliated television station based in San Antonio, Texas, broadcasting on channel 4. Its studios and offices are located within the city, where news teams and production staff work daily to produce local newscasts and regional programming.
WOAI-TV signed on in 1949, making it one of the first television stations to launch in Texas. Over the following decades it changed ownership several times while remaining one of the leading sources of local news in the San Antonio region.
WOAI-TV has long been a reference point for local news in the San Antonio area, and many residents grew up watching its broadcasts. The station's call letters are widely recognized across south Texas, where it remains a familiar part of daily life.
The station is not a public attraction and does not offer regular tours to individual visitors. Groups with a specific interest in broadcast journalism can contact the station in advance to ask about occasional behind-the-scenes access.
Before launching as a television station, WOAI operated as a radio station that went on air in 1922, making it one of the oldest radio stations in the United States. The shared call letters between the radio and television operations under the same name is relatively rare in American broadcasting.
