WFXP 66 is the Fox television network affiliate serving the Erie, Pa. metropolitan area. Its studio is located inside the WJET-TV studios at 8455 Peach Street in Summit Township, Pa.. WFXP's transmitter is located at 8425 Peach Street, Erie, Pennsylvania.

History

WFXP-TV signed on the air September 2 1986 as WETG-TV, operated by Gannon University. At that time, the studio and production facilities were in the basement of the Nash Library, on Gannon's campus. Five 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.

On December 21, 2007 WFXP-TV started broadcasting in High Definition, with its sister station WJET-TV starting in 2008.

Operating agreement

In 1998, WJET-TV's parent company Nexstar Broadcasting entered into an agreement with Mission Broadcasting, Inc. to maintain responsibility for WFXP 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.
