KFXK-TV, virtual channel 51 (UHF digital channel 31), is a Fox-affiliated television station serving Tyler, Texas, United States that is licensed to Longview. The station is owned by White Knight Broadcasting, and is a sister station to Tyler-licensed MyNetworkTV affiliate KTPN-LD (channel 48); Nexstar Media Group, which owns Jacksonville-licensed NBC affiliate KETK-TV (channel 56), operates KFXK under a local marketing agreement. All three stations share studio facilities located on Richmond Road (near Texas Loop 323) in Tyler; KFXK maintains transmitter facilities located near FM 125 in rural northwestern Rusk County (northwest of New London).
Although KFXK operates a full-power signal, the broadcasting radius does not reach much of the southern part of the market. Therefore, it is relayed on low-power translator station KFXL-LD (channel 29) in Lufkin. This station's transmitter is located on SH 103 near Loop 287 northwest of Lufkin.
