TV3 Winchester was the primary ABC and secondary This TV television station in Winchester, Virginia from 2007 until it ceased operations Dec. 5, 2013. Owned by Gray Television, it was sister station to Harrisonburg ABC affiliate WHSV-TV and maintained studios on Millwood Avenue and US 50 in Winchester. The channel is available on Comcast Xfinity channel 3 in Frederick, Clarke and Warren counties and ShenTel Cable channel 101 in Shenandoah County.
Even though TV3 Winchester operated mainly as a cable-only outlet, it could also be seen through a widescreen standard definition simulcast on WHSV's second digital subchannel in order to reach the Harrisonburg market. This signal could be seen on UHF channel 49.3 from a transmitter on Massanutten Mountain. Due to WHSV serving as the ABC affiliate for Harrisonburg, the channel was not available on cable in the area.
Along with Winchester, the station served Frederick, Clarke, Warren and Shenandoah counties in Virginia in news and sports gathering and weather coverage. On December 5, 2013, the station announced that it would cease local broadcasting, including news, effective immediately.
