In 1953, WAVE moved to channel 3 due to interference from WLWT in Cincinnati. It currently operates its digital signal on channel 48. Over the years, the Nortons acquired three other television stations and two other radio stations stations. Eventually, the Norton holdings became known as Orion Broadcasting, headquartered in Louisville with WAVE-AM-TV as the flagship station.
