WMYT-TV, virtual channel 55 (UHF digital channel 39), is a MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated television station serving Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. It is licensed to Rock Hill, South Carolina; as such, it is the only major commercial station in Charlotte that is licensed on the South Carolina side of the market. The station is owned by Fox Television Stations subsidiary of 21st Century Fox, as part of a duopoly with Fox owned-and-operated station WJZY (channel 46). The two stations share studio facilities located on Performance Road (along I-85) in unincorporated northwestern Mecklenburg County; WMYT's transmitter is located in Dallas, North Carolina. The station is branded as My 12, in reference to its channel location on most Charlotte area cable providers.
From 1974 to 1978, the UHF channel 55 allocation in Rock Hill belonged to a low-powered repeater of PBS member network South Carolina Educational Television. On Jan. 3, 1978, SCETV programming moved to full-powered WNSC-TV on channel 30.
The present station on channel 55 first signed on the air on October 21, 1994, as WFVT-TV. It was an independent station owned by Indiana-based Family 55. The station was operated under a local marketing agreement with Capitol Broadcasting Company, then owner of WJZY. Under this agreement, WJZY bought WFVT's entire broadcast day, and filled the schedule mostly with syndicated programs that WJZY did not have time to air.
