WWAY first signed on the air on October 1, 1964 as the second television station in Wilmington, preceded by WECT by more than 10 years. It has been an ABC affiliate since its start. This was somewhat unusual for a two-station market, and the reason is not clear to this day. In most two-station markets, ABC was relegated to secondary status on the existing stations.
WWAY was owned and operated by The Liberty Corporation until 2005; when Liberty was sold to Raycom, WWAY had to be sold due to Raycom's ownership of WECT. The FCC's duopoly rules do not allow common ownership of two of the four largest stations in a single market. It was sold to Morris Multimedia in 2006.
