In part as a result, it remained the only full-service commercial television station in Charlottesville for 31 years after being built and came to dominate the market. Waterman Broadcasting acquired the station in 1986 and would later lead the station through digitalization, the addition of the CW subchannel, and the introduction of high-definition local news in 2008, early for a market of Charlottesville's size. </p><p>In 2019, Waterman sold WVIR-TV to Gray Television, which then sold the station's direct competition—<a href="/wiki/WCAV" title="WCAV">WCAV</a> and <a href="/wiki/WVAW-LD" title="WVAW-LD">WVAW-LD</a>—to make the purchase.
