WFVX-LD (channel 22) is a television station in Bangor, Maine, United States, affiliated with the Fox network.
The two stations share studios on Target Industrial Circle in West Bangor and a transmitter on Black Cap Mountain along the Penobscot and Hancock county line.
[1] A construction permit for a low-power station on channel 22 in Bangor was granted on January 12, 1995,[4] and was assigned the call letters W22BU.
[5] Following the death of original owner Dale Buschow in 1998,[6] the station was acquired by MS Communications on January 3, 2001;[7] its license to cover was issued on March 1.
[10] Rockfleet put the station on the air as a Fox affiliate on April 13, 2003;[2] the following day, the call letters were changed to WFVX-LP.
[12] After WFVX's sign on, Rockfleet moved all of WCKD's syndicated and local programming (including a 10 p.m. newscast from WVII and the morning talk show So Goes the Nation), but not the UPN affiliation, to channel 22.
On February 28, 2022, WFVX and WVII temporarily changed their logos to blue and yellow, the colors of the Ukrainian flag, in support of Ukraine after the 2022 Russian invasion.
The broadcast was a three-hour call-in talk show until September 2004 when it was reduced to a single hour before being canceled altogether in November of that year.
The segments are recorded in advance with rotating meteorologists and fed via satellite to Bangor from AccuWeather's headquarters in State College, Pennsylvania (which is occasionally referred to as the "Fox 22 Weather Center" on WFVX).
