On September 10, 1988, WTVK swapped affiliations again with WBIR, taking over the CBS affiliation (therefore rejoining the network since its 1953 sign-on).
In 1996, Gray Communications Systems bought the station, and changed its calls to the current WVLT-TV in 1997. The call letters "VLT" stands for VoLunTeer State, which is Tennessee's official nickname.
