WVIF is a full-power affiliate of My Network TV in Christiansted, U.S. Virgin Islands licenced to transmit over analog channel 15. The station is owned by Corporate Media Consultants Group (Under LMA/Taylor Media Stations Group).
WVIF was supposed to air as a Fox affiliate, instead the low power station WEON-LP affilated the network, thus the station when silent for 8 years and finally went back on the air as a My Network TV affiliate. The station can also be seen in Puerto Rico on DirecTV, TaylorCom Sat, AD Cablevision, OneLink Communications cable, and as part of the Puerto Rico locals package on Dish Network .
WVIF is not currently operating a digital television station.
WVIF has applied to the Federal Communications Commission for permission to turn off any analog signals and begin broadcast of a digital signal on the same channel (called a "flash-cut") at the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations (February 17, 2009)
On June 1, 2009, shortly before the Digital television transition, WVIF switched affiliations, from My Network TV to CBS for a month, and switched back to My Network TV.
