WDFX-TV is the Fox-affiliated television station for Southeastern Alabama's Wiregrass Region. Licensed to Ozark, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 33 (or virtual channel 34.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter in unincorporated Wicksburg. The station can also be seen on Bright House Networks channel 11 as well as Comcast and Time Warner Cable channel 13 with HD on Bright House Networks digital channel 231, Time Warner Cable digital channel 213, and Comcast digital channel 434. Owned by Raycom Media, WDFX has studios on Ross Clark Circle (AL 210/U.S. 231) in Dothan. Syndicated programming on the station includes The Big Bang Theory, Judge Judy, Two and a Half Men, and The Dr. Oz Show among others.
The station launched as WDAU in February 1991. Airing an analog signal on UHF channel 34, it was the market's fourth television outlet to sign-on and has been with Fox since the very beginning. It was established after a small group of Ozark investors saw the market as being undeserved with the network and the need for a locally based affiliate in the area. The call sign had been previously used on what is now CBS affiliate WYOU in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (a sister station to rival ABC affiliate WDHN in Dothan).
