Paramount/Viacom would sell the station to Fox Television Stations (owner of WNYW in New York City) in 1995 making channel 29 an owned-and-operated station. This was because two years prior Fox wanted to purchase rival station WGBS-TV (UHF channel 57, now WPSG). WGBS' owners the original Viacom would purchase Paramount Pictures in 1994 but Fox's deal for WGBS fell through that same year, this led to WGBS being fully purchased by Paramount/Viacom and WTXF-TV being sold to the network itself.
