WOGX, channel 51, is a television station licensed to Ocala, Florida, USA. The station is owned by the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of 21st Century Fox and is an owned-and-operated station of the Fox Broadcasting Company. Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, WOGX is actually considered a semi-satellite of WOFL in Orlando. As such, it clears all network programming as provided through its parent station but airs a separate offering of syndicated programming, albeit with separate local commercials and legal station identifications. It is also the smallest DMA in the U.S. to be owned by one of the "Big Four" networks.
WOGX maintains an advertising sales office in Gainesville, and its transmitter is located in unincorporated Marion County, between Williston and Fairfield. Master control and most internal operations of WOGX originate from the studios of WOFL and sister station WRBW in Lake Mary.
The Gainesville television market is located between several other Florida media markets. As a result, the Bright House Networks system in Ocala (part of the Orlando market) does not carry WOGX but opts instead for WOFL, despite Ocala being WOGX's city of license. In addition, the Comcast system in Ocala carries WOFL in high definition on its digital tier in lieu of one from WOGX.
