Oak Hill TV Application Awaits Lifting of 2 Year Freeze Order
West Virginia may gain TV service as a two year freeze on station permits is lifted. Five WV applications stand with the FCC for Charleston Wheeling and Oak Hill outlets as WSAZ remains the only station in the state. The commission has not set a date to resume approvals though pressure grows to end the freeze and extend service to smaller communities.
