WTOV-TV, channel 9, is a television station in the United States. It is the NBC affiliate serving Eastern Ohio, Northern West Virginia, North Central West Virginia, and Western Pennsylvania. Based in Steubenville, Ohio, this station started broadcasting on Christmas Eve in 1953. WTOV is owned by Cox Enterprises, which also owns WPXI in nearby Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. WTOV's transmitter is located in Mingo Junction, Ohio.

The station first went on air as a CBS affiliate with the call sign WSTV-TV on December 24, 1953 -- and at one point it also carried ABC as a secondary affiliate, that affiliation was also split with WTRF-TV. It became WTOV (standing for "We're Television for the Ohio Valley") in 1979 and is now part of the NBC network. The station airs tape-delayed high school football games of the week including numerous playoff games of local teams. WTOV aired many college football/basketball games from ABC and ESPN Plus. One of the station's slogans is WTOV9 Is Everywhere.
