WHVL-LP serves as the MyNetworkTV affiliate for the DMA, and is the first commercial television station to broadcast out of State College. The station is owned by Channel Communications, and broadcasts on UHF channel 29, with no current digital signal. The station recently took delivery of their Ch. 27 antenna, with the hopes of broadcasting DTV by the end of September/middle of October 2008.
