Since we first went on air as WTVP on August 16, 1953, we have been a pioneering force in Central Illinois, being one of the first 19 ABC affiliates. Our call letters changed to WAND in 1966 following our acquisition by LIN Broadcasting. In 2005, we transitioned from ABC to NBC. Then, in November 2007, Block Communications acquired the remaining 33% stake in WAND from LIN Television, integrating WAND into a family of stations that includes WDRB-TV, WLIO-TV, and KTRV-TV. Our station is equipped with features like weather radar, alerts, and story submission options, making it convenient for viewers to stay updated on the latest news wherever they are.
