WCYB-TV (channel 5) is a television station in Bristol, Virginia, United States, serving the Tri-Cities area as an affiliate of NBC, The CW and Fox. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside Greeneville, Tennessee–licensed WEMT (channel 39). The two stations share studios on Lee Street in Bristol, Virginia; WCYB-TV's transmitter is located at Rye Patch Knob on Holston Mountain in the Cherokee National Forest.

After a four-year fight for the channel between Bristol, Virginia, radio station WCYB and the owners of WOPI in Bristol, Tennessee, WCYB-TV began broadcasting in August 1956. It was an NBC affiliate from the start and split ABC programming until WKPT-TV began broadcasting in 1969. WCYB was the first television station to multicast more than one major network when it began digital service in 2000. WCYB-TV has generally led WJHL-TV (channel 11) in the market's news ratings in its history.
