WEDD-LD

WEDD-LD (physical and display channel 26) is (or probably was) a low power television station in the Roanoke/Lynchburg television market licensed to Roanoke, VA. It is/was owned by Jones Communications and transmits/transmitted from Poor Mountain with an effective radiated power of 15,000 watts. It's transmitter is/was 1,171 meters above sea level (or 25 meters above ground level).

Not much is currently known about this station, which made making this article very difficult and accuracy isn't guaranteed. What we do know (or more accurately, what has been deduced) is that the station traces it's roots back to February 14, 1992 with a construction permit filed by BIP, Inc.. The station originated as W54BT, which signed on December 23, 1992 and eventually became a translator of what is now WFFP-TV (we don't know what programming was on the channel between 1992-1994.) W54BT was shut down in 2005 by request of the FCC to make way for cellular phones. The station had plans to move to analog channel 25 in 2002 but were originally superceded. The station changed it's call signs to WEDD-LP in 2006 and began broadcasting on digital channel 26 in 2010. During the planned sale to Jones Broadcasting (circa 2012/2013) and began relaying what would become now-WFFP yet again (the latter used the call signs WEFC at the time) which broadcast programming from CVN Television. The sale of then-WEFC was called off in 2013, WEDD fell silent and hasn't returned to the air ever since.

As of 2016, the station fell off of RabbitEars.info's digital OTA station list for the Roanoke/Lynchburg DMA. An FCC query can't be found either, so it can be assumed that the station might not exist anymore. However, there is a programming schedule for the station on Zap2It.

Any station logos/IDs, TV recordings of the station throughout it's history, or any info on the station's previous owners haven't yet surfaced publicly online.
