[5] The three stations share offices on Slappey Boulevard in Albany; WFXL's transmitter is located east of Doerun along the Colquitt–Worth county line.
Clarion then sold WFXL to the Wicks Broadcast Group (which also owned fellow Fox affiliates KCIT in Amarillo, Texas, KJTL in Wichita Falls, Texas–Lawton, Oklahoma, and WPGX in Panama City, Florida as well as NBC affiliate KMTR in Eugene, Oregon).
[6] On June 1, 2006, a MH-47 Chinook military chopper traveling from Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia, to Fort Rucker in Alabama for a training mission hit a guy wire connected to WFXL's 1,000-foot-tall (300 m) tower resulting in a crash.
While the tower and WALB's one nearby remained standing other than some guy wires, the stations were forced to temporarily cease over-the-air signals; broadcasts on cable were not affected.
[15] The station's second digital subchannel began carrying programming from Sinclair's American Sports Network syndication package starting with its inaugural broadcast on August 30, 2014.
[5] As a typical Fox affiliate with a weeknight prime time newscast, WFXL airs five hours of local news a week.
In September 2008, WFXL gave its newscasts a new look by means of updating it graphic package and the construction of a new set.
[17] It had aired, at one point, a weeknight newscast at 6:30 that competed with the national news shows on the big three stations.
[19] Concurrently, production of the station's weeknight primetime newscasts were shifted to Macon sister station WGXA; all news and weather duties are now handled at WGXA, while local reporters are still assigned to Albany to provide coverage of the Southwestern Georgia area.
