WAVE was a Raycom station, Raycom and Gray have merged.
With Gray now owning a station in every market serving a part of Kentucky, I would look for WAVE to take over all of the politics reporting and WKYT to take over all of the Wildcats reporting and the same reports and reporters showing up statewide.
I guess ownership takes precedence over network affiliation. I'm sure we see some of the same with WSAZ, which is also Gray but is NBC as well. I think Gray's Knoxville affiliate is NBC as well.
No the Gray station in Knoxville is CBS just like WKYT. Their ABC is Nextar and their NBC is TEGNA.
And it completely slipped my mind that the Raycom stations are now Gray! Now every market serving SC except for the Upstate is served by a Gray station, because all of the former Raycom stations are now joined by Augusta’s legacy-Gray WRDW (CBS) and WAGT (NBC) (whose studios are actually just across the river in North Augusta, SC).
Also don’t forget that the new Gray Kentucky network of WAVE, WKYT, WYMT, and WSAZ should also include WXIX Cincinnati, WBKO Bowling Green, WFIE Evansville, and KFVS Cape Girardeau. That should cover just about the entire state except for Hopkinsville, which is technically still in the Nashville market.
