WVFX is the Fox-affiliated television station for North-Central West Virginia that is licensed to Clarksburg. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 10 (or virtual channel 10.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter in an unincorporated area between Clarksburg and Arlington. Owned by Withers Broadcasting Companies, WVFX is sister to CBS affiliate WDTV and the two outlets share studios on Television Drive in Bridgeport (along I-79/Jennings Randolph Expressway).
The station signed-on February 8, 1981 and aired an analog signal on UHF channel 46. It was a religious Independent station using the calls WLYJ (standing for We Love You Jesus). Much of the programming consisted of national religious evangelicals and local fund-raising appeals to continue operation of the station. In 1998, WLYJ was sold to Davis Television and converted to a Fox affiliate. The call sign was changed to WVFX (standing for West Virginia's FoX).
