WSVW-LD (channel 30) is a low-power television station in Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States, affiliated with NBC and The CW Plus. It is owned by Gray Television alongside ABC affiliate WHSV-TV (channel 3) and Class A dual Fox/CBS affiliate WSVF-CD (channel 43). The three stations share studios on North Main Street (US 11) in downtown Harrisonburg, and operate a newsroom in Fishersville, serving Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County. WSVW-LD's transmitter is located atop Massanutten Mountain. There is no separate website for WSVW-LD; instead, it is integrated with that of sister station WHSV-TV.

W22EX-D (virtual channel 30, UHF digital channel 22) in Staunton operates as a translator of WSVW-LD; this station's transmitter is located atop Elliott Knob west of Staunton.

Even though WSVW-LD and W22EX-D both have digital signals of their own, their low-power broadcast ranges only cover the immediate Harrisonburg and Staunton areas, respectively. Therefore, the NBC-affiliated main feed is simulcast in 1080i full high definition on WHSV-TV's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market; this signal can be seen on UHF channel 20.2 (or virtual channel 3.2 via PSIP) from a separate transmitter atop Elliott Knob.
