WYFX-LD (channel 62) is a low-power television station in Youngstown, Ohio, United States, affiliated with the Fox network.
The three stations share studios on Sunset Boulevard in Youngstown's Pleasant Grove neighborhood, where WYFX-LD's transmitter is also located.
(WFXI-LP shared its call letters with the Fox affiliate in Morehead City, North Carolina; both stations were owned by Piedmont Television until 2007, but were otherwise unrelated.)
On February 8, 2009, WKBN did a "dual HD" test airing both college basketball on 41.1 and the Gatorade Duel (the qualifying race for the Daytona 500) on 41.2 in a possible attempt to broadcast both signals in high definition full-time.
Previously, WKBN-DT2 was aired in standard definition with special sporting events (such as additional games from the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament) using 41.3 in HD.
[14] In September 2015, Texas-based Nexstar Broadcasting Group announced it would acquire Media General and all of its stations, including WYFX, for $4.6 billion.
[16] As WYTV-DT2 is currently airing in standard definition, and its high-definition simulcast is on a low-power station, MyNetworkTV programming in HD is only available on cable and satellite outside the immediate Youngstown area.
On January 23, 2006, WYFX's First News at 10 on Fox 17/62 (produced by WKBN) became the area's only hour-long prime time broadcast on weeknights while remaining thirty minutes on weekends.
For a period, WYFX's show competed with another newscast seen at the same time on MyNetwork affiliate WYTV-DT2 that was produced by its parent ABC station.
Known as First News This Morning on Fox, the program is essentially an extension of the CBS affiliate's show offering a local alternative.
