White Springs Television (WSTV) is a US network which features mainly motion pictures, owned by White Springs Media, with studios in Portland, Oregon and technical facilities in White Springs, Florida (the channel's namesake). It was established in August 2005 by Victor Ives, a veteran Portland broadcaster who helped relaunch KEBN channel 32 (now KRCW-TV) in 1994 with an all-movie schedule. This stunt helped inspired Ives to create a movie channel featuring all movies around the clock -- mostly public domain, low-rent and made-for-TV movies, with commercials seen only between films.
White Springs Television is available nationwide on selected cable systems and television stations, as well as free-to-air Ku-band satellite via Intelsat Americas 7(now known as Galaxy 27). The network's parent company, White Springs Media, also owns the TalkStar Radio Network, as well as satellite teleport facilities.
In the Portland area, White Springs Television can be seen on Comcast channel 14. Selected movies can also be seen on KWVT-LP in Salem.
In 2008, WWCG-LP launched in Columbus, Georgia as a full-time White Springs Television affiliate.
