WVBK signed on in 1998 as a repeater of [[WVBG-LP]], then [[Albany, New York]]'s [[UPN]] affiliate. It originally broadcast on [[Ultra high frequency|UHF]] channel 49, not moving to channel 2 until late 2003.

In the early 2000s, Vision 3 sold off WVBG and its other repeater, [[WNYA|WVBX-LP]], and WVBK became a separate station. WVBQ signed on in 2006 as a satellite of WVBK. |

WVBK-CA is the Outside Television affiliate for southern Vermont, licensed in Manchester. The station's over-the-air transmissions are on VHF channel 2, with no digital signal; the 12 and 20 in WVBK's branding refer to its cable slots (as the station's effective radiated power is very low for a Class A station). WVBK is owned by Vision 3 Broadcasting. Programming is also seen on WVBQ-LP channel 47 in Newport and Charlestown, New Hampshire.
History
WVBK signed on in 1998 as a repeater of WVBG-LP, then Albany, New York's UPN affiliate. It originally broadcast on UHF channel 49, not moving to channel 2 until late 2003. UPN programming ceased to appear on WVBK in 2000, after WVBG lost its affiliation to an Albany cable channel, WEDG-TV, and the station eventually picked up the Resort Sports Network (the predecessor to Outside Television). In the early 2000s, Vision 3 sold off WVBG and its other repeater, WVBX-LP, and WVBK became a separate station. WVBQ signed on in 2006 as a satellite of WVBK.
Vision 3 filed to sell WVBK and WVBQ to New Hampshire 1 Network, a company controlled by William H. Binnie, in November 2010;[1] the deal was called off in June 2011.[2] Vision 3 then filed to sell WVBQ to Cross Hill Communications that November; under the terms of the deal, Cross Hill also holds an option to acquire WVBK.[3]
