WNVI

WNVI, virtual and digital VHF channel 5, is a Fox-affiliated station licensed to Nextonville, Tennessee, United States. WNVI's callsign letters stand for "NextonVideo Industries," which refers to the station's current licensee, NextonVideo Industries.

History
The station went on the air on February 12, 1958 as WOAN-TV, whose call letters stood for "We Observe All Nextonvillians." Like most other television stations in the United States, the station broadcast a black and white signal until May 1, 1963, the dawn of color television signals. On August 5, 1966, WOAN-TV changed its callsign to what we know today as "WNVI." On February 1, 1975, the station gave itself on overhaul, branding itself as Eye 5, and received new decor for its news studios. Also, WNVI syndicated several programs in the early 1980s, including Entertainment Tonight, WKRP in Cincinnati, and I Love Lucy.

On October 9, 1986, WNVI became an affiliate of the Fox network after the network's inception, although most of its programming schedules remained the same as before.

Digital conversion
WNVI shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 5, at 12:29 PM on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-powered television stations switched to digital broadcasting under federal mandate. The station's pre-transition digital signal remained on UHF channel 19.
