WIYE-LD is the low-powered, CBS-affiliated television station for the Mid-Ohio Valley that is licensed to Parkersburg, West Virginia. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 47 from a transmitter in Independence Township, Ohio. The station can also be seen on Suddenlink channel 5 (SD) and channel 105 (HD). Owned by Gray Television, the station is sister to NBC affiliate WTAP-TV and low-powered Fox affiliate WOVA-LD. All three television outlets share studios on Market Street (official address is One Television Plaza) in downtown Parkersburg. It operates the market's MyNetworkTV affiliate on a second digital subchannel and Suddenlink digital channel 97. Although associated with WTAP's news department, there are currently no local newscasts produced exclusively for WIYE and/or any simulcasted from the NBC outlet.
On April 10, 2012, then-owner Wood Investments LLC announced it was selling WWVX-LP (the station's former callsign) and WVEX-LP (the former callsign of WOVA) to Gray Television for $66,000. Gray changed the callsign of WWVX-LP to WIYE-LP on June 19, 2012, and changed its city of license from Marietta to Parkersburg. On July 17, 2012, Gray Television signed an affiliation agreement with CBS for WIYE and two other low-power stations acquired by Gray around the same time period as its acquisition of WIYE. As a result, WIYE-LP/LD became the CBS affiliate for the Mid-Ohio Valley on September 3, 2012.
