History

WHSV and Gray Television created a FOX affiliate for the Shenandoah Valley called "The Valley's FOX", which began broadcasting on WHSV's DT2 digital subchannel on October 26, 2006. In March of 2007, the Valley's FOX was placed on Comcast Channel 705. WTTG, channel 5 in Washington continues to be the area's default Fox affiliate since it is still carried on analog channel 5. Outside of FOX primetime programming, the channel airs various syndicated programming, repeats of WHSV newscasts, and during overnights, The Sportsman Channel cable network.

WHSV and the Valley's Fox were scheduled to be carried on Dish Network within the Harrisonburg market and had been uplinked to the satellite, but a last minute court decision prevented this, and Dish dropped all plans to carry the stations. WHSV announced that the broadcasts were to begin on October 26, 2006. [1] At that point, the main WHSV channel was operating on satellite, but developments delayed the start of the FOX channel from being broadcast until later.
