WYMT channel 57 is the CBS affiliate in Hazard, Kentucky, serving the eastern part of the state and portions of neighboring Virginia and West Virginia. It signed on as WKYH-TV meaning ('W'KentuckY Hazard) on October 20, 1969 as an NBC affiliate and in 1986, the station switched to CBS with new calls, WYMT, meaning "Your Mountain Television". The station broadcasts digital programming on channel 12; the digital signal also carries its parent station, Lexington's WKYT-TV.

Although it identifies as a station in its own right, WYMT is considered a semi-satellite of WKYT. It clears all of WKYT's programming, and the two stations share a Web site. The two stations occasionally co-brand as "Kentucky Television."
