WVGO-LP is low-power television stations in Sullivan, Indiana, broadcasting locally as an affiliate of My Network TV on channel 54. The station is owned by Taylor Media Stations Group, and serve different neighborhoods within Sullivan -- WVGO serving entire Sullivan, along with it's sister station WHFE, an ABC affiliate. Two additional LPTV translators, WIIB-LP channel 7 in Farmersburg and WKMF-LP channel 32 in Sullivan, relay the signals of WHFE and WVGO.
The stations have plans to vastly-increase their coverage area -- WHFE has separate application and construction permits for their digital companion channels with a power of 300 watts and move the transmitter closer to Terre Haute, to cover that city; while WVGO increases to 15 kW, broadcasting from near the banks of the Wabash River, using a directional antenna that would transmit a "bow-tie" lobe towards Sullivan and Marshall, Illinois.
Although WIIB-LP simulcast the same programming as WHFE-LP, hourly station IDs display only the call letters and channel assignments of WHFE and WVGO.
Until early 2007, all four stations broadcast programming 24/7 from America One. Programming was changed to White Springs TV, which carries commercial-free movies and short subjects, most of which are in the public domain. In July 2008, Taylor Media bought the stations and became separate affilates.
