WSVI is an ABC-affiliated, full-power television station in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands transmitting over digital channel 8.1. The station is owned by Alpha Broadcasting Corporation.
WSVI has a satellite, WZVI channel 43, in Charlotte Amalie, as well as an analog translator, WFIG-LP channel 5. WSVI is one of the few stations that still sign-off at night. It signs off at 1AM after Jimmy Kimmel Live and does not show World News Now. Plus, it shows very little syndicated programming, filling most of the non-network programming times with infomercials.
WSVI's newscasts are available online via their YouTube channel.
