We are proud to hold the distinction of being The Plateau’s ONLY exclusively ALL digital HD station! Every weekday join us from 7-9 AM for ‘Georgia This Morning w/ Nelson Lewis’. WSVG-DB HD radio is a member station of the National Association of Digital Broadcasters (NADB) and the station’s morning program anchor and licensee Mr. Nelson Lewis is a third generation Georgia broadcaster, those of whom preceded him were owners of traditional terrestrial full power broadcast signal radio (FM & AM) and television (UHF) stations in markets throughout the southeast - starting first in Savannah, GA by his grandfather Mr. J. Curtis Lewis, Jr. a noted philanthropist and entrepreneur who also served as mayor of Savannah making history as the first republican mayor of a Georgia city since reconstruction entering the business being awarded the FCC licensure and signing on air as (WJCL-FM bearing his initials) holding the distinction of being the market’s first stereo station, Jackson/Vicksburg/Meridian, MS (WSTZ-FM/AM) and Columbia, SC (WNOK-FM) along with four television stations cumulatively representing all of the four major broadcast networks (WLTX, CBS 19 Columbia, SC; WJCL (also bearing his initials) ABC 22 Savannah, GA which made history similar to WJCL did in radio with stereo as the market’s first all-color station signing on air in 1970; WTGS FOX 28 Savannah, GA; & WLTZ NBC 38 Columbus, GA It should be noted that the ABC/FOX duopoly was among one of the nation’s first pre-Michael Powell’s-FCC deregulation now a commonplace practice of multiple station’s under one management. The two family owned towers in the Savannah market (1500’) hold the distinction of being the region’s tallest much like was accomplished in Columbia, SC when the tallest tower in the state of SC was constructed in neighboring Lugoff, SC for WLTX which previously had a tower on Garners Ferry Rd in Columbia. “In 1985, WLTX-TV constructed a new 1,780 foot tall tower that nearly doubled the signal strength of the station and delivered a signal into 24 counties.“ (courtesy of WLTX.com). When NBC-38 in Columbus was acquired from the Aflac corporation the call letters were WYEA and the elder Lewis changed them to WLTZ for Lewis Television Zenith and followed the same path on Columbia, SC with CBS-19 which was WNOK and changed to WLTX. Mr J. Curtis Lewis, Jr. had the foresight to know when to divest his media interests and had the foresight of great timing and continued to play an active role in his media company even after selling off many of his media assets. The radio and television stations along with the towers in Columbia SC and in Columbus were divested in the late 90’s through 2006 and the Savannah towers not until years later right before the LIN/Media General merger retained and leased back to the new operators until their subsequent purchase. Much like Nelson’s grandfather’s foresight into stereo and color tv who entered the broadcast business initially out of his hobby and interest in Ham radio, Mr. Nelson Lewis sees the tide turning to digital radio. This monumental leap forward to all digital is indeed most exciting! For more information on Mr. Nelson Lewis, host of ‘Georgia This Morning’, feel free to click the ‘web’ button below.

Unfortunately the temporary site doesn’t allow for sections as did the previous hosting service. The salient points from our former full fledged beautiful station website appropriately divided into sections -replete with our live ‘stemwinder’ weather station data and a NE Georgia news RSS feed, UGA Dawg sports updates and foxnews.com lifestyle story updates, & on demand hourly updates from FOX News Radio have all been condensed into one page without many of those key components during this transitory phase not in what appears to be a run on essay jumbled form of present since multiple pages aren’t offered and unfortunately only allows for one link. WSVG-DB is looking forward to the days of the site appropriately being displayed in sections once again.
