History
Originally licensed to Florence, South Carolina, in the Myrtle Beach media market, the station's construction permit was issued in late March 2012 under the translator-style callsign of W14EB-D. The current WVEB-LD callsign was adopted on June 28, 2016. Around that time, DTV America, its current owner relocated the station to be located in Charlotte, North Carolina to become a sister station to WHEH-LD, the Lumberton-licensed station that DTV America already owns. A recent RabbitEars.info query of WVEB revealed that the Morris Communications Tower was elected to be the station's transmitter site. The station identification card identifies it as a Charlotte-based station, even though officially, the city of license remains to be Florence. DTV America has a handful of other stations, on the air or silent, throughout the country that has a city of license outside of the market that it is located in.[3]
