It looks like the Herald was not updating their TV page all that much, back then. WXNE switched to WFXT on January 19, 1987, upon consummation of the sale from CBN to FOX Television Stations. "The Late Show with Joan Rivers" (already seen for months on all other FOX stations and affiliates) did not air on Channel 25 until the day the station was sold. CBN refused to air it, right to the end. It was just as well. The show s**ked.
 
Looks like I'm the one who actually made the mistake. It was refered
to correctly as WFXT, I just mistakenly put WXNE where WFXT should
be.
 
Channel 68 was carrying a ton of daytime stuff bumped from the three network stations, four and a half hours worth.
