"WCVE-TV is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television station licensed to Richmond, Virginia, United States. Owned by the Commonwealth Public Broadcasting Corporation, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 42 (or virtual channel 23 via PSIP) from a transmitter adjacent to its studios at 23 Sesame Street in Bon Air, a suburb of Richmond. WCVE's programming is relayed on a satellite station in Charlottesville, WHTJ (UHF digital channel 46, virtual channel 41), with transmitter atop Carters Mountain. WCVE also operates a sister station in Richmond, WCVW (UHF digital channel 44, virtual channel 57), whose transmitter is co-located with WCVE. The three stations are together known locally as the Community Idea Stations, but in 2008 began using their call letters to identify themselves; each simply refers to itself as "a Community Idea Station."
Prior to the branding change, all three stations were known as Central Virginia's Public TV until 2001" Source: Wikipedia (
