WANC-TV
WANC-TV (known as WISE-TV from 1953 to 1967), UHF analog channel 21 (formerly on channel 62 until 1971), was a television station in Asheville, North Carolina, United States. Owned throughout its existence by Thoms Broadcasting, WANC-TV was originally a network affiliate, though it gradually lost all of its affiliations. For most of the 1970s, it operated as a Christian independent by rebroadcasting some programs of WGGS-TV (channel 16) in Greenville, South Carolina. Facing financial difficulty and the loss of its transmitter site, the station shut down in 1979. The channel 21 license was sold to Pappas Telecasting, which began the lengthy reconstruction of the station as WHNS, a general-market independent station which launched in 1984.
