Fox stations tie-in with FNC

[nomadcowatbk]

A lot of Fox stations distance themselves from FNC but do any Fox stations actually try to tie themselves into FNC?

Have never noticed this with my local affiliate (and they are owned by Sinclair, which itself is
pretty conservative).

Possibly because their local newscast is co-produced with the NBC affiliate.

Depends on what you consider a tie-in, but a lot of Fox stations air Cavuto's nightly biz reports. Think there might be one or 2 more FNC offerings for local affiliates, too. Do they still do the World in a Minute segment?

KTVU is the largest Fox station (Cox Owned) that I can think of that does not shape their Newscasts like Fox News. I know for national Breaking News KTVU will go to CNN over Fox News for reports from them. For some stories KTVU will use Fox News for national features.

Before it lost its Fox affiliation last fall, KSFX-TV (now independent KOZL-TV) in Springfield, Mo. called itself "KSFX-The Ozarks' Fox News Channel."

Only time I see FNC tie-ins on KCPQ 13 is when the Fox stations broadcast the State of the Union [mostly with Shepherd Smith hosting the coverage].

That's a conservative market, many Fox O&Os are in large liberal markets

How's that working out for them now?

Roger Ailes oversees the Fox station group, so you know the Fox O&O stations pattern their news on FNC.

KTVU is also the largest Fox station that is not an O&O -- which means that they have a little more freedom than the other major market Fox stations that are owned by News Corp.

WHBQ in Memphis has local news the same as the CBS, NBC and ABC stations do. AFAIK, WHBQ doesn't lie to the viewers and distort facts like Fox News does.

WHBQ has been a Fox O&O since 1995. In 2007, News Corp. put it and eight other O&Os up for sale. But since the company that bought them(Local TV) owns CBS station WREG, it could only buy the eight without WHBQ because it can't own a second Memphis station. News Corp. eventually took WHBQ off the market.

Here's WHBQ listed on the News Corp. tv station website.
