History
Prior to WVXF's sign-on in 1997, CBS programming was seen on Charlotte Amalie's WBNB-TV, channel 10. However, that station left the air for good following Hurricane Hugo in 1989, when its transmitter was destroyed and the cash-strapped Benedek Broadcasting (owner of several small- and mid-market network affiliates on the mainland) couldn't afford to rebuild. Between 1989 and 1997, CBS service was available via satellite from New York (WCBS-TV), Raleigh (WRAL-TV), and/or Erie (WSEE-TV).
