WSVF-CD2 is the CBS-affiliated television station for the Shenandoah Valley of Western Virginia. It is a second digital subchannel of Fox affiliate WSVF-CD, owned by Gray Television. Over-the-air, the station broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 43.2 from a transmitter on the peak of Massanutten Mountain. WSVF-CD2 can also be seen on Comcast channel 4 (SD) and channel 807 (HD). Along with its parent station, the subchannel shares studios with ABC affiliate WHSV-TV on North Main Street/U.S. 11 in Downtown Harrisonburg.
Shortly after Gray purchased WAZM-CA (WSVF's former call sign) from Jones Broadcasting, on July 17, 2012, the company signed an affiliation agreement with CBS for WSVF and two other low-powered CBS affiliates. As a result, WSVF-LD became the CBS affiliate for the Shenandoah Valley on October 3, 2012. It is the first time CBS programming has been seen on a Shenandoah Valley station since WHSV-TV (then WSVA-TV) dropped CBS programming in 1963; since then, WUSA in Washington, D.C. had served as the default CBS affiliate for the Shenandoah Valley. WSVF chose to carry CBS on its second digital subchannel, devoting its primary channel to a high definition version of the Fox channel previously seen on WHSV's second subchannel. Technical limitations do not allow any of WHSV's subchannels outside of the main ABC signal to air in high definition.
