WOGX is the Fox network affiliate serving the Gainesville, Florida television market, but also serves the neighboring portions of the Orlando and Jacksonville markets. The station originates in Ocala, Florida (part of the Orlando TV market) and broadcasts its analog signal on UHF channel 51 and its digital signal on UHF channel 31. WOGX is operated from WOFL's facilities, and simulcasts most of that station's news programming. Technically and naturally, it is the smallest television station owned and operated by News Corporation, parent company of Fox. Its transmitter is located in Fairfield, Florida.
History
The station began as independent station WBSP-TV on November 17 1983, it changed its call letters to WOGX in 1987 and took the FOX affiliation from Citrus County's W49AI (which got its signal from future sister station WOFL) in 1991. During the 1990s, the station came under the control of Meredith Corporation and WOFL, simulcasting its news operation when it launched in March 1998.
In 2002, Meredith Corp. traded WOGX and WOFL to Fox Television Stations Group (a division of News Corporation) in exchange for KPTV in Portland, Oregon, making WOGX a Fox owned-and-operated (O&O) station.
