WFXV is the FOX-affiliated television station for Central Upstate New York's Mohawk Valley. Licensed to Utica, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 27 (or virtual channel 33.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter at its studios on Smith Hill Road in Deerfield (official address is Utica). The station can also be seen on Charter Spectrum channel 6 and in high definition on digital channel 1206. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, WFXV is sister to low-powered MyNetworkTV affiliate WPNY-LP and ABC affiliate WUTR (all three outlets share facilities).
The latter is actually owned by Mission Broadcasting but operated by Nexstar through local marketing and joint sales agreements. WFXV can be seen on analog repeater W31BP channel 31 in the Town of Burlington from a transmitter on Clock Hill Road. Syndicated programming on WFXV includes The Maury Povich Show, Family Feud and Modern Family among others.
