WZDX (channel 54) is a television station in Huntsville, Alabama, United States, affiliated with Fox and MyNetworkTV. It is owned by the Tegna subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group; Nexstar also owns CBS affiliate WHNT-TV (channel 19) and CW station WHDF (channel 15). WZDX's studios are located on North Memorial Parkway (US 72/231/431) in Huntsville, and its transmitter is located on Monte Sano Mountain. WZDX began broadcasting in April 1985 as the first independent station for the Huntsville area; it became a Fox affiliate in November 1987. Its original owner, Media Central, filed for bankruptcy that year and eventually sold the station in 1990 to a consortium of Citicorp and Milton Grant, marking the latter's return to TV station ownership after a prior bankruptcy. The station started a cable channel that served as the local affiliate of The WB—predecessor to its MyNetworkTV subchannel—in 2001. A local newscast, produced at first out-of-state and then by local ABC affiliate WAAY-TV, began to air in 2008. The Grant stations were acquired by Nexstar Broadcasting Group in 2013; Nexstar brought local news production in-house by establishing its own newsroom in 2016, and it formed a duopoly in the market by acquiring WHDF two years later. When Nexstar acquired Tribune Media, owner of WHNT-TV, in 2019, it retained that station and WHDF and spun out WZDX along with other stations to Tegna. Nexstar and Tegna merged in 2026.
