FOX West Virginia (WVNS-DT2), digital channel 8.2, is the primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV affiliate for Southern West Virginia that is licensed to Lewisburg. FOX West Virginia is operated as a digital sub-channel of WVNS-TV 59, and owned by West Virginia Media Holdings. The Fox affiliation was acquired September 13, 2006 following a Summer 2006 retransmission dispute between Charleston's WVAH-TV and Suddenlink Communications (the cable system serving Beckley). The demise of the Foxnet cable network on September 12, 2006 also played a role. Though it is carried on a digital subchannel, this is the return of the Fox network to WVNS which was dropped three years earlier for CBS.
Known on-air as Fox West Virginia, it is also offered on Suddenlink cable systems. In Beckley it is on channel 10, in Hinton and Princeton on channel 3, and on channel 2 in Bluefield. Programming from MyNetworkTV airs on the weeknights from 11 P.M to 1 A.M. For Saturday prime time, it airs on early Sunday morning from 12:30 to 2:30
