WTLV has been the NBC affiliate in Jacksonville, Florida since 1988. It was the NBC affiliate from 1957 until 1980, when WTLV and WJKS switched network affiliations. The channels switched back to their original affiliations eight years later. Its transmitter is located in Jacksonville.
When the owners of WTLV, Gannett, acquired the new ABC affiliate, WJXX, in 1997, the two channels shared news reporters and, eventually, a newcast, entitled First Coast News.
