WHSV-DT4 is the MyNetworkTV & MeTV television station for the Shenandoah Valley of Western Virginia. It is a fourth digital subchannel of ABC affiliate WHSV-TV that is owned by Gray Television. Over-the-air, it broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 49.4 (or virtual channel 3.4 via PSIP) from a transmitter on the Massanutten ridge. The station can also be seen on Comcast channel 2. Its parent station has studios on North Main Street/U.S. 11 in Downtown Harrisonburg. Outside MyNetworkTV programming, there is no syndicated fare since MeTV takes up all of the remaining broadcasting time except for live college sports from Raycom Sports 's ACC Network.
On January 24, 2006, CBS Corporation and Time Warner announced that their respectively-owned broadcast networks, UPN and The WB, would cease operations and consolidate much of the programming from both networks into a single jointly-owned broadcast network called The CW. One month later on February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced the creation of their own secondary network called MyNetworkTV. This new network, which would be sister to Fox, is operated by the company's Fox Television Stations subsidiary and its Twentieth Television syndication division and was created in order to give UPN and WB affiliates that did not join The CW another option besides becoming an independent station. It was also created to compete against The CW. During the late summer and early fall of 2006, WHSV underwent major technical upgrades to make way for the creation of two new digital subchannels: My Valley on digital channel 3.4 and a Fox-affiliated subchannel on 3.2.
