More than 147 million Americans accessed a digital platform operated by a Fox-owned local television station during the company’s most-recent fiscal year, according to new Comscore data shared by the broadcaster on Thursday.

The data correspondents to Fox’s 2026 fiscal year, which started in July 2025 and ended last month. The measurement includes local station websites, Fox Local streams and social media platforms operated by Fox Television Stations, the company’s local broadcasting division.

Seven Fox-owned stations ranked first among digital viewership in their respective markets: KDFW (Channel 4, Fox) and KDFI (Channel 27) in Dallas; WTTG (Channel 5, Fox) and WDCA (Channel 20) in Washington; WJBK (Channel 2, Fox) in Detroit; WITI (Channel 6, Fox) in Milwaukee; KMSP (Channel 9, Fox) and WFTC (Channel 9) in Minneapolis; WOFL (Channel 35, Fox) and WRBW (Channel 65) in Orlando; and KSAZ (Channel 10, Fox) and KUTP (Channel 45) in Phoenix.

Fox Television Stations also finished June as the leading local television group in unique digital users, Comscore data showed. The company ranked first in total minutes when compared with the owned-and-operated station groups of ABC, CBS and NBC.

Ten Fox-owned station groups maintained the top digital audience position in June: KTBC (Channel 7, Fox) in Austin, KDFW and KDFI in Dallas; WTTG and WDCA in Washington; WJBK in Detroit, KRIV (Channel 26, Fox) in Houston; WITI in Milwaukee; KMSP and WFTC in Minneapolis; WOFL and WRBW in Orlando; KSAZ and KUTP in Phoenix and KCPQ (Channel 13, Fox) and KZJO (Channel 22) in Seattle.
