Here is the companion piece to the WVLA (formerly WRBT) station ids. These feature some promos but primarily news updates and footage. Copyrights acknowledged. WVLA is a UHF station broadcasting on channel 33 serving as Baton Rouge's NBC affiliate. The station had a weeknight primetime newscast until 1989 at 6 and 10 PM (MetroNews), then had just a morning newscast/community outreach until about 2004 and had no news until 2007 when it brought back a full newscast.
