In 1948 Havens & Martin dedicated Television Station WTVR to the people of Virginia. How well it's appreciated is expressed by the fact that today about one in every nine homes in the metropolitan Richmond area is TV-equipped. Yet as Christmas 1949 rolls around, WTVR, now nearly two years old, is still the only TV station operating in Virginia. Nearly 25 years ago WMBG took the air as a pioneer radio station. Its record is studded with firsts. In this postwar era WCOD, the FM outlet, was added to the Havens & Martin group to provide Virginia's only complete broadcast advertising service. Linked with NBC through the years, these First Stations of Virginia have captured the fond loyalty of a people who fully appreciate pioneering and public service.
