WFXI, channel 8, is an Fox-affiliated television station licensed to Morehead City, North Carolina, USA. WFXI is owned by Esteem Broadcasting, and is operated through a shared services agreement by the Bonten Media Group, owners of ABC affiliate WCTI-TV (channel 12). The two outlets share studios on Glenburnie Drive in New Bern; WFXI's transmitter in located near Davis, North Carolina. WFXI's coverage contour primarily serves Morehead City.
WYDO, channel 14 in Greenville, North Carolina, operates as a full-time satellite of WFXI. This station broadcasts from a transmitter located near Trenton, North Carolina and covers a wider portion of Eastern North Carolina, centered on Greenville, Washington, New Bern, Jacksonville and surrounding areas.
WFXI signed on November 1, 1989 as the area's fourth commercial television station. It immediately assumed the Fox affiliation and aired an analog signal on VHF channel 8; Prior to WFXI's sign-on, residents in the eastern North Carolina area received their Fox programs on cable via Raleigh's WLFL or Washington's Fox owned-and operated WTTG. The station had to operate at considerably lower power than the other stations in this large market because it was short-spaced to both Washington-licensed WITN-TV (channel 7) and Greenville-based WNCT-TV (channel 9). WFXI's signal also had to protect WXEX-TV (now WRIC-TV) in Petersburg, Virginia, which also operated on channel 8. This resulted in a broadcasting radius that only reached the southeastern portions of the Eastern North Carolina designated market area namely Morehead City, Jacksonville, and New Bern.
