WSLS-TV (channel 10) is a television station licensed to Roanoke, Virginia, United States, serving the Roanoke–Lynchburg market as an affiliate of NBC. Owned by Graham Media Group , the station maintains studios on Fifth Street in Roanoke, and its transmitter is located on Poor Mountain in Roanoke County .
WSLS-FM was the first FM station in the region, going on the air a year ahead of what is today 94.9 WSLC-FM. Through its early years, WSLS-FM mostly simulcast WSLS, an affiliate of the ABC Radio Network. In 1952, a TV station was added, Channel 10 WSLS-TV. Because the TV station was an NBC affiliate, WSLS-AM-FM switched to NBC Radio affiliation.
Since Roanoke was already served by NBC affiliate WSLS-TV (channel 10), WLVA-TV opted to become a primary ABC affiliate—Virginia's first, and the longest-tenured south of Washington, D.C. WLVA-TV and WSLS-TV split CBS programming until WDBJ-TV (channel 7) signed on from Roanoke in 1955.

(The Blue Network later became ABC.) A partner FM station, 99.1 WSLS-FM, launched in 1947, largely simulcasting the AM station.
