FTVLive rumor regarding possible swap of WOFL

Sources tell FTVLive EXCLUSIVELY that Fox Television is looking to trade their O&O in Orlando for the Fox station in the Big Easy.

Tipsters tell FTVLive that Fox wants to trade WOFL in Orlando to get WVUE in New Orleans. Fox wants to own the Fox station in the market where the NFL New Orleans Saints are.

When Fox traded their O&O in Boston for the KTVU in San Francisco it was for the same reason. The network wants to own the Fox stations in the markets that have NFC football teams. That Boston for San Francisco swap was totally football related.

WVUE is run by Raycom but it is owned by Louisiana Media Company (which is controlled by Tom Benson, owner of the New Orleans Saints). So, for Fox to make such a deal, they have to cut the deal with the owner of the Saints. Word is that Fox is talking to Raycom to try and figure out a way to make the deal happen.
