[edit] History

WXTX began on June 17, 1983 as an independent station. Three years later, on October 9, 1986, WXTX became a charter Fox affiliate, and today is Fox's longest serving Georgia affiliate, after Fox dropped WATL for New World owned WAGA-TV.

On September 5, 2006, WXTX added programming from Fox's new sister network, MyNetworkTV.
