West Virginia Media Holdings was a media company in West Virginia. It owned television stations in each of the four main media markets in the state, as well as a weekly newspaper.  The group owned WOWK-TV in Huntington, WVNS-TV in Lewisburg, and WTRF-TV in Wheeling, West Virginia, which were all affiliated with the CBS network; and WBOY-TV in Clarksburg which is affiliated with NBC. WVNS and WTRF also carried Fox on their digital subchannels, while both subchannels carried MyNetworkTV in addition to Fox as a secondary affiliate. It also owned the State Journal weekly newspaper.

In 2014, Bray Cary, West Virginia Media's CEO and founder, allegedly attacked a nurse while at WOWK-TV's office in Charleston, West Virginia, the nurse stating Cary became "hostile and belligerent."  The harassment claim was later settled and resurfaced when the unique role of Bray Cary as an unpaid volunteer in Governor Jim Justice’s office arose.

On November 17, 2015, WVMH announced that it would sell its stations to Nexstar Broadcasting Group for $130 million.
