WEON

WEON is a FOX affiliate serving the Saint Thomas and Frederiksted areas of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Branding itself Fox U.S. Virgin Islands and broadcasting on channel 60, WEON is owned and operated by Island Television, which also owns and operates NBC affiliate WFIG. WEON was launched in 2005 by the LKK Group. Island Television bought WEON from LKK Group in 2011. In addition to running the FOX schedule, WEON also has syndicated programming, including Un, dos, tres... responda outra vez, TMZ, and Family Feud. In addition, WEON runs a subchannel: 60.2 which is affiliated with both This TV and MyNetworkTV.

History
The LKK Group decided to launch WEON in 2005 after getting their license from the FCC. WEON didn't had any newscasts at all, and had trouble getting viewers in from the start. Broadcasting on channel 60, not too many people in Saint Thomas have access to cable, meaning that WEON would be handicapped from the start. Also the fact that they didn't had any local programming. Basically, their schedule is just running FOX programming while the rest of their schedule is filled with paid-programming. After a while, the LKK Group decided to shut down the station. Rather than seeing the station shut down, and after success of turning WFIG around when they bought the station in 1991, Island Television stepped up and bought the station in 2011. Just like what they did with WFIG, Island Television divest heavily into WEON. In 2012, WEON launched their own prime-time newsvast (Today's 4 Action News on FOX U.S. Virgin Islands).
