Public license information

WSVF-CD (channel 43) is a low-power, Class A television station in Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States, affiliated with Fox and CBS. It is owned by Gray Media alongside ABC affiliate WHSV-TV (channel 3) and low-powered dual NBC/CW+ affiliate WSVW-LD (channel 30). The three stations share studios on North Main Street/US 11 in downtown Harrisonburg, and operate a newsroom in Fishersville, serving Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County. WSVF-CD's transmitter is located atop Massanutten Mountain. There is no separate website for WSVF-CD; instead, it is integrated with that of sister station WHSV-TV.

Even though WSVF-CD has a digital signal of its own, the low-power broadcast range only covers the immediate Harrisonburg area. Therefore, the CBS-affiliated CD2 feed is simulcast in 16:9 widescreen standard definition on WHSV's fifth digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market; this signal can be seen on channel 3.5 from a transmitter atop Elliott Knob west of Staunton.
