WUHF is a broadcast television station in Rochester, New York, affiliated with the Fox network. It broadcasts its analog signal on channel 31 and its digital signal on 28, and is seen on cable channel 7. It is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. Its transmitter is located on Pinnacle Hill in Brighton, New York. Prior to the 1990s, the station identified on-air primarily as FOX31. Today, it is better known as Fox Rochester (although it adopted a "Fox 31" logo in 2003).

WUHF had produced its own 10pm local newscast since 1998. In 2003, WUHF converted its newscast to Sinclair's News Central format, which consisted of national and international news segments, weather and sports reports produced at News Central's headquarters in Hunt Valley, Maryland. The local news operation at WUHF was significantly sized down as a result.

In August 2005, the Sinclair Broadcast Group entered into a Local Service Agreement with Nexstar Broadcasting, the owners of Rochester's CBS affiliate WROC-TV Channel 8. The News Central format was abandoned, and news broadcasts on WUHF ceased on September 1, 2005. They will resume at some point before 2006, using WROC's on-air staff. The remainder of WUHF's news operation was laid off in this move. the new fox 31 "First at 10" news brodcast will debut on November 1st,2005

In 1994, several cable systems in Canada started serving WUHF via the Cancom communications satellite in out of market areas where FOX was not otherwise available.

WUHF has been carried on satellite systems since 2001, and it is currently the only Rochester-based TV station seen in Canada on StarChoice.
