WYFX-LP is the FOX affiliate in Youngstown, Ohio. It broadcasts on channel 62 as a low-power station. Its headquarters are located in Boardman Township with sister station WKBN-TV.

The station's programs are also broadcast on another low-power station, WFXI-CA channel 17 in Mercer, Pennsylvania. WYFX has a construction permit to broadcast as a Class A station on channel 35 in Youngstown. A standard definition simulcast of the WYFX signal is also available on WKBN-TV's digital channel, which has the added benefit of greatly increasing the over-the-air range of the station, since WKBN's digital signal is very strong, and WYFX's signal is weak, barely extending much outside the Youngstown city limits.

WYFX broadcasts the only local news at 10 p.m. in Youngstown. On January 23, 2006, WYFX's First News at 10 p.m. on FOX 17/62 became the Youngstown market's only hour-long evening newscast. It is currently anchored by Robb Schmidt and Whitney Ward, with Chief Meteorologist Dan Guthrie providing weather reports, and Ryan Allison on Sports.

WYFX has also secured the over-air rights to Cleveland Indians baseball telecasts in the Youngstown market.
