WIAV-LP is a low-power JTN affiliate licensed to Washington, D.C., broadcasting on channel 58 on the UHF band. The station is wholly-owned and operated by Asiavision, Inc. (Under LMA Taylor Media Stations Group), which owns a small network of low-power stations in the Mid-Atlantic Region, including WRAV-LP, channel 8 in Ocean City, Maryland, and WQAV-LP, channel 34 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Various broadcastors provide most of the programming.
In the mid-1990s, the station, which originally had the call letters W58BR, became a Network One 1 affiliate, offering entertainment that included music videos, out-of-town public access programming, and late night B-Movies.
Currently, the station airs JTN programming during the evening, including a documentary series on Tahitian Noni Juice (R) Products, musical programs, documentaries, Real Estate programs, religious programming, and other paid programming. In the future it will air cartoons and children's programs.
The station broadcasts from a transmitter located in Prince George's County , Maryland on an effective radiated power of 35 kilowatts. Despite being licensed to Washington, the signal does not cover the entire city; it covers only the northeastern portion of D.C., northern Prince George's County, portions of Montgomery County, Maryland and portions of Fairfax County, Virginia.
