WSFX-TV

WSFX-TV (channel 26) is a television station in Wilmington, North Carolina, United States, affiliated with the Fox network. It is owned by American Spirit Media, which maintains a shared services agreement (SSA) with Gray Media, owner of NBC affiliate WECT (channel 6) and Telemundo affiliate WTWL-LD (channel 31), for the provision of certain services. The three stations share studios on Shipyard Boulevard in Wilmington, while WSFX-TV's transmitter is located near Winnabow, North Carolina.

Channel 26 went on the air September 24, 1984, as WJKA, Wilmington's third commercial TV station. Originally a CBS affiliate owned by the Everett family and other investors and named for its lawyer in Washington, D.C., it struggled amid widespread viewer loyalty to Wilmington's established WWAY and WECT in local programming and competition from as many as three CBS affiliates offered by local cable systems. Various attempts at local news programming, most notably a news department that lasted for nine and a half months in 1990, ended due to low ratings. In 1994, WJKA became WSFX-TV "Superfox", the area's only Fox affiliate, with a service area that at its height included Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The station resumed producing a newscast, this time at 10 p.m. Southeastern Media Holdings acquired WSFX-TV in 2003 and initiated the current services agreement with WECT, with that station assuming local newscast production duties and expanding news on channel 26 beyond 10 p.m. to include morning and 7 p.m. newscasts.
