WCTV 48 online - Television live

WCTV 48 Live Stream

WCTV 48 is the municipal television channel of the City of Chesapeake, Virginia - the city's own window on local government and community life in the heart of Hampton Roads. Broadcasting on channel 48 for city residents, it combines gavel-to-gavel coverage of local government with programs about the services, projects and everyday life of Chesapeake.

Chesapeake's Civic Screen

The backbone of the schedule is civic: City Council and School Board meetings carried as they happen, alongside city-produced programs on services, parks and public safety across the whole city - from the Great Bridge waterfront to the rural southern boroughs of Virginia's third-largest city by population.

Programs and City Life

Between the meetings, WCTV turns to the city it serves: programs such as Chesapeake Thrives and Peake Life explore community initiatives and events from Ecofest to the Great Dismal Swamp, while quick fact segments keep residents up to date on roadwork and city projects. Ceremonies and graduations from across the city's departments round out the schedule.

The Local Layer of a Spread-Out City

Chesapeake spans hundreds of square miles of city, suburb and farmland alike - the largest city in Hampton Roads by land area - and WCTV is the one channel that ties it together: the meetings and the stories the regional stations always skip, municipal television for an open city government.
