[edit] History

WFXP-TV signed on the air May 15, 1986 as WETG-TV, operated by Gannon University. At that time, the studio and production facilities were in the basement of The Nash Library, at 619 Sassafrass Street, Erie, PA. 5 months later, WETG became Erie's charter Fox affiliate. The assigned transmitter power of the earlier call station was significantly more modest than the other commercial stations at the time.

[edit] Operating agreement

In 1998, WJET-TV's parent company Nexstar Broadcasting entered into an agreement with Mission Broadcasting, Inc. to maintain responsibility for WFXP-TV 66's daily operations. That agreement also includes production of WFXP's 10 'O Clock News. Prior to that, Fox 66 News at 10 was produced by NBC affiliate WICU-TV 12.
