, and Dr. Phil

/Morgantown
" even though the third city is considered part of the Pittsburgh market

affiliate on a second
digital subchannel. Known on-air as Your ABC, this can also be seen on Time Warner
channel 14. It is offered on all cable systems in the Clarksburg/Weston DMA. It is also the only ABC affiliate offerd in the DMA on Dish Network and DirectTV. Syndicated programming on WBOY-DT2 includes: Two and a Half Men
, The Ellen DeGeneres Show
, and Nancy Grace
.
. However the area's intended NBC affiliate, Parkersburg
's WTAP-TV
, did not have a signal strong enough to reach Clarksburg and Weston
. North-Central West Virginia is a very rugged dissected plateau
and WTAP's analog signal on UHF channel 15 was not strong enough to carry across the terrain. After it became clear that Parkersburg and Clarksburg were going to be separate markets, WBOY joined NBC and remains with the network to this day. However, it retained a secondary ABC affiliation for many years. In 2001, Hearst Television (owner of Pittsburgh's WTAE-TV
) acquired WBOY along with ABC affiliate WMUR-TV
in Manchester, New Hampshire
from Imes Communications of Mississippi
.
Hearst's acquisition of WBOY was finalized on April 30 of that year. Almost immediately, the company sold WBOY to West Virginia Media Holdings (which was creating a statewide "network" of stations to share resources) in September of that year with the sale closing on December 13. It is the only primary station owned by the company to not be affiliated with CBS as well as the only one that leads its market ratings. Along with sister station WTRF-TV
in Wheeling
, WBOY launched a new second digital subchannel
with ABC programming on August 1, 2008 bringing shows from that network back to the station. Previously, both the Clarksburg/Weston/Fairmont and Wheeling/Steubenville, Ohio
markets were served by WTAE as the de facto
affiliate while WDTV
aired selected ABC sports programming. WBOY shut down its analog signal on February 17, 2009 continuing digital broadcasts on channel 12.
After being acquired by West Virginia Media Holdings, the station upgraded its news operation and built secondary studios in Morgantown on Scott Avenue. A major emphasis was placed on news from that town in the hopes of increasing ratings and thus getting the town reassigned to the Clarksburg/Fairmont market. The move made WBOY the highest rated station in Monongalia County
according to Nielsen ratings
beating even Pittsburgh stations. The channel produces a large amount of sports content relative to West Virginia University
, located in that town, for use by the other member stations. Today, it is the only West Virginia Media Holdings station to have the lead in local news ratings in its respective market.
The company produces a half-hour newscast called West Virginia Tonight Live that originates from the Morgantown newsroom. It airs weeknights at 5:30 simultaneously on WBOY, WTRF, and WVNS-TV
as well as being simulcasted on Independent WJAL
in Hagerstown, Maryland
. When WBOY-DT2 launched, it resulted in the debut of the market's first weeknight 7 o'clock newscast. Known as 12 News Live on ABC, it broadcasts exclusively on the ABC station. Otherwise, WBOY-DT2 simulcasts the weekday editions of 12 News at 6 a.m., noon, 6, and 11 p.m. It does not simulcast weekend broadcasts from the main channel. In addition, there is a public affairs program called Decision Makers. Hosted by company president and CEO, Bray Cary, it airs on Sunday mornings at 8 on all West Virginia Media Holdings stations. In another arrangement between all of the company channels, weekend newscasts originate from WOWK's facilities on 5th Avenue in Downtown Huntington
