"WAMY-TV" is the MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station for the Tennessee Valley area of Northeastern Alabama. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, WAMY is sister to Fox affiliate WZDX and the two share studios on North Memorial Parkway (U.S. 231/U.S. 431/and U.S. 72) in Huntsville. Syndicated programming on the station includes: Everybody Loves Raymond, Seinfeld, Maury, and The Wendy Williams Show. Many MyNetworkTV affiliates are housed on digital subchannels of other stations and use their call signs but WAMY and cable-only "WNFM-TV" in Southwest Florida are the only network affiliates that have fictional calls.

WAMY is broadcast on WZDX's second digital subchannel. This airs on UHF channel 54.2 from a transmitter in Monte Sano Mountain in the Mountain Heights section of the city. In most areas, the station is carried on Comcast and Charter cable channel 8. As a result, its logo refers to this although it is known on-air as My WAMY. There are some locations, including Decatur, where the station is located on other cable systems and channels. DirecTV carries WAMY-TV for subscribers in the Huntsville, Alabama designated market area, most DirecTV satellite receivers display WAMY on virtual channel 6.
