WLFG, virtual channel 68 (UHF digital channel 49), is a religious independent station licensed to Grundy, Virginia, United States, serving the Tri-Cities area of southwestern Virginia and northeastern Tennessee. The station is owned by Abingdon, Virginia-based Living Faith Ministries. WLFG's transmitter is located near Hansonville, Virginia.

The station's programming is relayed on two satellite stations: WAGV (virtual channel 44) in Harlan, Kentucky (which shares transmitter facilities with WLFG) and WLFB (virtual and UHF digital channel 40) in Bluefield, West Virginia (with transmitter atop East River Mountain, south of Bluefield, Virginia). WAGV was the first to broadcast exclusively in digital following a malfunction at its analog transmitter.[1]

History

Living Faith Television was founded by The Reverend Buford Smith who claimed that God had given him a vision to build a TV station in Virginia. The station grew from the original station in Grundy to include the other three transmitters.

Rev. Smith was pastor of Tookland Pentecostal Church in Grundy until his death in May 2003. His son, Michael Smith, was president of the station until Buford Smith's death, when he became president and CEO of Living Faith Television.

Tookland Pentecostal Church was a major financier when the station was founded broke most of its ties with the station after it declared its independence in 2006.

Living Faith Television is now under the control the board of Living Faith Television, with Mike Smith as president and CEO and wife Lisa Smith as CFO. Other personalities are Mary Smith (wife of the late Buford Smith), Laverne Tripp and Fred Schmidt, among others.

Digital television

Digital channels

The station's digital signal is multiplexed:

Channel Video Aspect PSIP Short Name Programming[2]
68.1 480i3 WLFG-DT Main WLFG programming
68.2 LIGHT Light TV
68.3 ION Ion Television
68.4 BUZZR Buzzr
68.5 JUSTICE Justice Network
68.6 QUEST Quest
68.7 HSN
68.8 QVC

Analog-to-digital conversion

WLFG shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 68, in May 2007.[3] The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 49.[4] Through the use of Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP), digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 68, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition.

Programming

The station's programming consists mostly of content by other ministries that purchase air time, along with some infomercials. Original programming is spread throughout the broadcast day by the flagship program Living Faith Now! (formerly From These Hills), along with Sing Time, Fred Schmidt, and Life Begins at Calvary, a program produced by Calvary Church of the Tri-Cities, and other programs.

Out-of-market cable carriage

In recent years, WLFG has been carried on cable in a number of areas outside the Tri-Cities media market, including cable systems within the Charleston, West Virginia, Kentucky [5][6] and the Charlotte and Greensboro markets in North Carolina.[7][8] According to Zap2it, WLFG has been carried on cable in College Grove, Tennessee, which is within the Nashville market.[9]

Much of the southeastern portion of the Lexington, Kentucky media market can pick up WAGV's signal. WLFG/WAGV is also available on TVS cable in the Hazard, Kentucky area, and much of Knott and Perry counties, along with the Floyd County community of Wayland.[10][11] Time Warner Cable customers in the Hazard area can also view WLFG/WAGV on TWC cable 5.
