WFPX-TV
WFPX-TV is one of two Ion Television affiliates for the Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina, USA, television market, licensed to nearby Fayetteville. The station is owned by ION Media Networks (the former Paxson Communications), and is a full-time satellite of WRPX-TV. WFPX operates on UHF digital channel 36. Its transmitter is located in Lumber Bridge, North Carolina. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display WFPX's virtual channel as 62.1.
==History==
Channel 62 signed on in 1985 as WFCT, an independent broadcaster owned by Fayetteville/Cumberland Telecasters. Attorneys Robinson and Katherine Everett of Durham, founders of WRDU-TV (now WRDC) in Durham, along with WJKA (now WSFX-TV) in Wilmington and WGGT (now WMYV) in Greensboro, were two of the principals in this company.
The station changed call letters to WFAY in 1993 and became a Fox affiliate in 1994; the affiliation came as part of a deal that also saw the Everetts switch their CBS affiliates, WJKA and KECY-TV in El Centro, California/Yuma, Arizona to Fox. Even though WFAY was located in the same market as WLFL (a Fox affiliate at the time), it mainly focused on communities located south of Fayetteville that did not get a good signal from WLFL. Some of its non-network programming was also simulcast to the Raleigh-Durham area on WRAY-TV for a couple of years in the mid-1990s until it was acquired by the Shop at Home network.
WFAY later became WFPX and dropped Fox after being bought out by Paxson in 1998. Later that year, newly minted Fox station WFXB out of the Florence/Myrtle Beach market expanded its signal to cover areas formerly served by WFAY. It is worthy of note that WFPX's signal is not seen at all in the northern portion of the Raleigh-Durham-Fayetteville market, but covers northern portions of the Florence-Myrtle Beach market, which does not have its own Ion affiliate.
