Twelve of the men formed the Northeast Pennsylvania Educational Television Association, chaired by Wilkes-Barre superintendent of schools Walter Wood. They received a license for channel 44 a year later. </p><p>The station's first employee, general manager George Strimel, Jr., was hired in 1965 and given two years to get the station on the air. He was able to do so within nine months, and WVIA-TV signed on for the first time on September 26, 1966. The fledgling station received a considerable assist from the area's commercial stations. WNEP-TV donated the old transmitter and tower facility from WARM-TV, one of the two stations that merged to form WNEP ten years earlier, while <a href="/wiki/WBRE-TV" title="WBRE-TV">WBRE-TV</a> (channel 28) and WDAU-TV (channel 22, now <a href="/wiki/WYOU" title="WYOU">WYOU</a>) made their studios available for local productions. All production work was done from the transmitter site. </p><p>The station grew rapidly, and within a year moved its offices from First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre to office space donated by <a href="/wiki/King%27s_College_(Pennsylvania)" title="King's College (Pennsylvania)">King's College</a>, and later to a school in <a href="/wiki/Scranton,_Pennsylvania" title="Scranton, Pennsylvania">Scranton</a>. In 1969, WVIA moved to a specially-built studio at <a href="/wiki/Marywood_University" title="Marywood University">Marywood College</a> in Scranton. In 1971, WVIA moved to its current studio in <a href="/wiki/Jenkins_Township,_Pennsylvania" title="Jenkins Township, Pennsylvania">Jenkins Township</a>. </p><p>The station didn't take long to become a part of the community; it won the <a href="/wiki/Corporation_for_Public_Broadcasting" title="Corporation for Public Broadcasting">Corporation for Public Broadcasting</a>'s award for community involvement for two straight years in the 1970s. It was the only public television station in Pennsylvania to stay on the air during a 1970 budget crisis. When <a href="/wiki/Hurricane_Agnes" title="Hurricane Agnes">Hurricane Agnes</a> struck the area in 1972, WVIA preempted its programming to air weather reports around the clock, and lent its equipment to WBRE so it could stay on the air. </p><p>In 1978, WVIA activated its current tower on <a href="/wiki/Penobscot_Knob" title="Penobscot Knob">Penobscot Knob</a>. It increased the station's coverage by 20%, enabling it to reach 20 counties and giving it a coverage area comparable with most of the area's commercial stations. The station also operates the largest translator network in Pennsylvania. </p><p>For many years, WVIA was available on cable systems beyond the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre TV market, including <a href="/wiki/Altice_USA" title="Altice USA">Cablevision</a> in <a href="/wiki/Fairfield_County,_Connecticut" title="Fairfield County, Connecticut">Fairfield County, Connecticut</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nassau_County,_New_York" title="Nassau County, New York">Nassau County, New York</a>.
