WLIO-DT2 is the primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV television station for Northwestern Ohio. It is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WLIO that is owned by Block Communications. Over-the-air, the station broadcasts a 720p high definition digital signal on VHF channel 8.2 from a transmitter at studios on Rice Avenue in Downtown Lima. The outlet can also be seen on Time Warner Cable channel 9 and in high definition on digital channel 1009. Syndicated programming on WLIO-DT2 includes King of the Hill, 30 Rock, Friends, and Scrubs among others. Shows from MyNetworkTV air in a delayed arrangement on weeknights from 11 until 1 the next morning.

History

WLIO-DT2's origins began on January 24, 2006 when The WB and UPN announced the two networks would end broadcasting and merge. The new combined service would be called The CW. The letters would represent the first initial of corporate parents "C"BS (the parent company of UPN) and the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner. On February 22, News Corporation announced it would start up another new network called MyNetworkTV. This new service, which would be a sister network to Fox, would be operated by Fox Television Stations and its syndication division Twentieth Television. MyNetworkTV was created in order to give UPN and WB stations, not mentioned as becoming CW affiliates, another option besides becoming Independent. It was also created to compete against The CW.

WLIO operated the area's cable-only WB affiliate "WBOH" in partnership with The WB 100+. UPN was seen in Lima on low-powered WLQP-LP. With the pending network shakeup, WLIO gained the area's CW affiliation for "WBOH" which joined the new network through The CW Plus and was added to this second digital subchannel in order to offer non-cable subscribers access to The CW. This station's official sign-on occurred September 18. Two weeks earlier, then Class A Fox affiliate WOHL-CA added MyNetworkTV in a secondary nature.

It aired programming from the network Monday through Saturday nights from 11 until 1 the next the morning. Eventually, Saturday shows were dropped. On September 17, 2008, WLIO-DT2 dropped The CW after the network reverted back to a cable-exclusive status in Lima. The cable channel slot was eventually taken over by WBDT from Dayton as the network's de facto affiliate.

As a result, this station became a primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV affiliate essentially becoming a second outlet in Lima for the two networks. The move resulted in a dispute between WLIO and WOHL. However, this second subchannel of WLIO served as WOHL's digital signal because that station did not receive a companion channel for digital transmission due to its Class A status. On June 12, 2009, a construction permit allowed WOHL to perform a "flash-cut" to digital becoming WOHL-CD.

It first operated a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 25, but due to possible interference with ABC affiliate WRTV in Indianapolis, Indiana, the station moved to channel 35 for its digital operations. That allotment previously served as WLIO's analog signal and virtual channel display through Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP). As a result, the virtual channel assignment was displaced since WOHL opted to use the same channel number as its actual frequency.

Lima is one of the few markets where two of the largest stations are currently using not only the same virtual channel numbers as actual RF channels, but also virtual channel numbers different from former analog channel number assignments. Soon after on September 28, WLQP and WLMO terminated analog operations. ABC programming was shifted to WOHL with CBS on a new second digital subchannel allowing the two networks to be offered over-the-air in high definition for the first time. Programming from Fox and MyNetworkTV continue to be seen on WLIO-DT2 and cable.

On weeknights, WLIO produces two thirty minute long newscasts (at 5 and 10) on this second digital subchannel. The broadcasts feature news anchor Stuart Hall, Chief Meteorologist Kyle Adams, and Sports Director Andy Young (10 o'clock only). Since there is a local program that airs at 5 on this station, WLIO does not offer a show at that time unlike most other NBC affiliates.
