WVFX is a Fox Television affiliate in Clarksburg, West Virginia. It operates on UHF Channel 46, and its digital channel is Channel 10, a rare instance of an UHF station receiving a VHF digital assignment.
The station began in 1981 as a religious station using the calls WLYJ, standing for "We Love You Jesus". Much of the programming consisted of national religious broadcasters and local fund-raising appeals to continue operation of the station.
In 1998 the station was sold to Davis Television and converted to a Fox affiliate. The calls were changed to WVFX, standing for West Virginia's FoX.
The UHF signal is very difficult to receive in the mountainous area it serves, and the station thus must depend on cable and DBS for most of its distribution. The station produces a second schedule of programming, via WVWB, featuring the The CW television network, which is fed by landline to local cable systems.
Because of the market size, the station does not have a news department.
