WRLH-TV is a Fox-affiliated television station located in Richmond, Virginia. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 26 from a transmitter at the studios of PBS affiliates WCVE-TV and WCVW in Bon Air. The station can also be seen on Comcast's Xfinity channel 26 and Verizon FiOS channel 11. There is a high definition feed offered on Comcast's Xfinity digital channel 511 and Verizon FiOS digital channel 805. Owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, it has studios on Westmoreland Street in the North Side area of Richmond.
WRLH began its operation on February 20, 1982. It was Richmond's first general entertainment Independent station, and the first new commercial station in Richmond since WRVA-TV (channel 12, now WWBT) signed on 26 years earlier. The calls were previously used on a predecessor to WNNE in Hartford, Vermont. It aired an analog signal on UHF channel 35 from a transmitter southwest of the U.S. 60/SR 288 interchange. It was the second station owned by the TVX Broadcast Group, who had launched WTVZ in Hampton Roads three years earlier. The WRLH call letters stand for Richmond and the two TVX executives primarily responsible for getting the station on the air, Gene Loving and Harvey Hudson. Like most Independents, it initially offered a format consisting of cartoons, sitcoms, movies, drama shows, and religious programming in mid-mornings after the cartoons.
