WDKY-TV, channel 56, is the Fox-affiliated television station for Lexington, Kentucky that is licensed to nearby Danville. Its transmitter is located southeast of the city. Owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, the station has studios on Euclid Avenue in downtown Lexington. WDKY began broadcasting on February 10, 1986 as an independent station. Seven months later, it became a charter Fox affiliate. In 1995, CBS affiliate WKYT began producing a nightly 10 o'clock newscast. Sinclair acquired WDKY from Max Media in 2001.

On March 12, 2007, WDKY began airing an hour of news on weekday mornings at 7 A.M. that is also produced by WKYT. Weeknights at 10:45, there is a 15-minute sports replay show called the "WDKY Blue Sports Extra". All news programs originate from WKYT's studios on Winchester Road in the Brighton section of Lexington. On April 11, 2008, WKYT began broadcasting its newscasts in high definition becoming the first station in Kentucky to make the transition. The WDKY newscasts were included in the upgrade making it the first Sinclair station to be airing news in high definition. On August 14, WDKY filled for an application to move their digital channel from 4 to channel 31.
