CBN sold WXNE-TV to the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of News Corporation on December 31, 1986, which became the current WFXT on January 19, 1987 and the first station to be acquired separately from its acquisition of independent stations from Metromedia. Before channel 25's acquisition by the network, WNAC-TV (channel 64) in Providence, Rhode Island, WPXT in Portland, Maine (channel 51, now a CW affiliate) and WTIC-TV (channel 61) in Hartford, Connecticut all served as New England's Fox affiliates. They later placed the station in a trust company in 1989, after the FCC ruled that News Corporation cannot own a television station and a newspaper in the same market. They later sold the station to the Boston Celtics in 1990.
