WIXO

WIXO is a Fox affiliate serving Peoria, Illinois, and it's surrounding areas. Broadcasting on channel 11, WIXO is owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group. From the time the station signed on in 1954 until 1995, WIXO was a CBS affiliate. When CBS lost the NFC Package to FOX, WIXO left the network and became the new FOX affiliate (CBS went to the original Fox affiliate, WFPA). WIXO also operates two subchannels: 11.2 (for The WB) and 11.3 (for Seven Network).
On December 28, 2017, Graham Media Group traded WIXO in exchange for Berfield/Willis' Fox affiliate KFBK in Bakersfield, California. Berfield/Willis in turn sold WIXO to Sinclair Broadcast Group.
