WAVY-TV, UHF digital channel 31 (virtual channel 10), is a television station licensed to Portsmouth, Virginia, United States, serving as the NBC affiliate for the Hampton Roads area of southeastern Virginia (comprising the cities of Portsmouth, Norfolk, Newport News, Virginia Beach, Hampton and environs), and the Outer Banks region of northeastern North Carolina. WAVY-TV is owned by Nexstar Media Group as part of a duopoly with Fox affiliate WVBT (channel 43). The two stations share studios and offices in downtown Portsmouth, and WAVY-TV broadcasts from a transmitter located in the Driver neighborhood of Suffolk, Virginia.
In addition to its main signal, WAVY-TV is rebroadcast on six translators. Both W14DY-D and W18EG-D are located in the Eastern Shore of Virginia and are municipally-owned by Accomack County rather than Nexstar. Those in the Greater Hampton Roads area are owned and operated by Nexstar.
