WEY

WEY is the CBS affiliate that serves the Port St. Joe, FL broadcast area, broadcasting on channel 2. Syndicated programming on WEY includes: Two and a Half Men, The Insider, Supermarket Sweep, The Queen Latifah Show, and Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1989-1999 episodes), among others.
== History ==
WEY was launched on April 5, 1974 by Howard Communications. As an independent, WEY aired children's cartoon in the morning, off-network syndication in the afternoon, and movies throughout the night. In 1986, WEY missed out on being an affiliate of FOX, losing it to WPSJ. They launched their news department that year instead. WEY continued to being an independent until 1995 when they became a charter member of The WB.
=== Choctaw Broadcasting ===
In the year 2000, Howard Communications sold WEY to Choctaw Broadcasting. Under Choctaw Broadcasting, they launched a new format for their newscast to rival WPSJ's prime-time newscast. After a slow start, the newscast started putting up a fight against WPSJ's newscast to the point of betting WPSJ in 2004. In 2006, Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corporation announced that they would sell The WB to Turner and UPN to Paramount Stations Group to form The CW, and named WEY an affiliate of The CW.
=== 2015 Broadcasting Realignment ===
On Aug. 1, 2014, Choctaw Broadcasting announced that they've sold WEY to Raycom Media. CBS, in turn, announced that they're moving their affiliation from WEGK to WEY in 2015. So on Jan. 1, 2015, WEY and WEGK switched affiliations and WEY became an affiliate of CBS.
