Programming
WAWV clears most of the ABC network schedule, though the station preempts the network's Saturday morning block Litton's Weekend Adventure in favor of syndicated children's programming (this is despite the fact that the Weekend Adventure block is in full compliance with the FCC's E/I programming guidelines, negating the need for stations to carry syndicated children's programming that fills the full three hours per week E/I content quota). The station also preempts the late night news program World News Now, in favor of syndicated programs and infomericals in late night, making it among the few ABC stations not to carry the program (unlike the case with WAWV, most of the ABC stations that do preempt WNN do so in favor of signing off overnight).
Syndicated programming on this station includes: Two and a Half Men, The New Adventures of Old Christine, The Big Bang Theory, Criminal Minds, Family Guy, The Office and Judge Judy. Outside of ABC programming, WAWV's schedule more closely resembles that of a minor network affiliate or an independent station than that of a Big Three network affiliate.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
