WCIV is a television station licensed to Charleston, South Carolina, serving the Lowcountry area of South Carolina. Owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 36 from a transmitter in Awendaw. WCIV's studios are located on Allbritton Boulevard along US 17/US 701 (Johnnie Dodds Boulevard) in Mount Pleasant, and it is a sister station to Fox affiliate WTAT-TV, which it operates under a local marketing agreement from separate facilities.
The station is an affiliate of MyNetworkTV, ABC, and MeTV; in September 2014, due to complications arising from Sinclair's acquisition of the station from its previous owner, Allbritton Communications, WCIV's programming and ABC affiliation was moved onto the second digital channel of Sinclair's existing station in the market, MyNetworkTV affiliate WMMP, and WCIV's license was sold to Howard Stirk Holdings in order to form a new station using its existing facilities. In preparation for the sale, the WCIV and WMMP intellectual units swapped signals on September 30, 2014 with WCIV moving to WMMP's channel 36 signal and WMMP moving to WCIV's channel 34 signal respectively. WMMP then began carrying programming from ZUUS Country, and has since changed its calls to WGWG.
