WXIN
On December 6, 2017, reports stated that Sinclair and Fox were working on a deal that would see most of the Fox-affiliated stations whose affiliation contracts were set to expire at the end of the year renew said agreements, in exchange for Sinclair selling some Fox affiliates involved in the Tribune deal or already under the group's ownership directly to Fox Television Stations. The deal would see between six and ten Fox affiliates owned by Sinclair and Tribune in markets with an NFL franchise become Fox owned-and-operated stations. It is not known if WXIN will be one of the stations sold nor how the deal could be brokered with regards to its duopoly with WTTV/WTTK, although the stations being sold to Fox are expected to largely come from Tribune Media (notably KCPQ and its MyNetworkTV-affiliated sister KZJO in Seattle, where Sinclair already owns ABC affiliate KOMO-TV and Univision affiliate KUNS-TV), many of which were previously owned by Fox. (Sinclair may sell additional Fox affiliates to other groups not associated with the company to both address the aforementioned issues and the ownership conflicts that Sinclair and Tribune have in ten markets that largely would be excluded from the side deal with Fox.)
List of Fox television affiliates (by U.S. state)
Stations listed in boldface are owned and operated by Fox through its subsidiary Fox Television Stations (excluding owned-and-operated stations of MyNetworkTV, unless the station simulcasts a co-owned Fox O&O station via a digital subchannel).Some Fox programming is broadcast on the Alaska Rural Communications Service (ARCS).
Depending on the market, Canadian residents have access to at least one U.S.-based Fox affiliate either through most cable and satellite providers in the country or via over-the-air digital television in border markets.
