Fox is swapping the affiliations of its Minneapolis duopoly.
Current Fox affiliate WFTC(TV) will become the UPN outlet, while UPN affiliate KMSP(TV) will get the Fox affiliation.
An affiliation change was expected since Fox established its duopoly last year.
Fox took over WFTC in a swap with Clear Channel, and KMSP earlier when it took over the Chris-Craft group.
KMSP has had the stronger local news, morning and sports presence, in addition to the stronger dial spot (9 vs. 29), and will now gain Fox's stronger network programming.
