The power upgrade moves WGBS TV7 into the category of a "Medium Power" station. TV7 was originally based in Hampton during the nineties but now broadcasts with over ten times its original power from a tower location in Portsmouth, VA.

The TV7 signal covers Portsmouth, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Hampton, Suffolk, Poquoson, York County, Newport News, Virginia Beach and Isle of Wight. Expansion to Tidewater cable viewers is in the works. Stay Tuned!
