On March 27, 2006, then-owner Raycom Media announced the sale of WFXL and 11 other stations to Barrington Broadcasting in order to meet FCC rules regarding station ownership (Raycom had just acquired The Liberty Corporation, the owner of WALB, which they decided to keep). is the 86th day of the year (87th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Chopper crash and tower demolition

On June 1, 2006, a MH-47 Chinook military chopper traveling from Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia to Fort Rucker in Alabama for a training mission hit a guy wire connected to WFXL's 1000 foot tall tower in Doerun, resulting in a crash (Investigation is still under way). While the tower remained standing and intact (other than the guy wire), WFXL was forced to temporarily cease its over-the-air signal, though broadcasts on cable were not affected.

If WFXL's tower collapsed, it could have also caused the tower of WALB to topple, as both towers were only 150 feet apart. [1], [2], [3] As a result, Raycom (which at that time still owned WFXL while the Barrington sale awaited FCC approval) acquired auxiliary transmitters and antennas for both WFXL and WALB, which are installed at the tower at WALB's studios in Albany.[4] WALB channel 10 (Mediacom channels 3 & digital 810 ), is the NBC television affiliate in Albany, Georgia, serving the southwestern part of the state. ...

On June 7, 2006, WFXL's tower was demolished, but in doing so, one of the tower's guy wires wrapped around a guy wire for WALB's tower, as feared. As a result, WALB's tower collapsed, in an incident shown on live television. Both stations then began to transmit their signals from the tower at the WALB studios. In early July 2007 the WALB/ WFXL mega-tower was completed and began broadcasting on July 3, 2007 at 11:35 P.M.[5] [6] June 7 is the 158th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (159th in leap years), with 207 days remaining. ...
