WFAA-TV is the ABC affiliate for the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The station is owned by TEGNA Inc. WFAA-TV broadcasts locally on channel 8. The station airs newscasts in the mornings and evenings, daily. There are some local sports and public affairs programs. In November 2004, the station reached an agreement with independent station KFWD-TV to provide some of its sales support, technical services and programming. Press releases can be sent by email.The station is licensed to Dallas and its studios and offices are located downtown next to the office of The Dallas Morning News—with whom it was co-owned from 1950 to 2008—and at the Victory Park development next to the American Airlines Center where the noontime news is filmed with the anchors sitting in front of a window view of the outside street activity. The station has small bureaus in Collin County at the Frisco Roughriders baseball stadium, and in Tarrant County near downtown Fort Worth. Both bureaus house a few reporters but are rarely used for filming. Its transmitter is located in Cedar Hill, Texas.WFAA also serves as the default ABC affiliate for the Sherman, Texas/Ada, Oklahoma market since that market currently lacks an ABC affiliate of its own, as the market's former ABC affiliate KTEN became an NBC affiliate in 1998. WFAA is carried as the local ABC affiliate to DISH Network and DirecTV subscribers within that market and the sole ABC affiliate carried by cable operators in several of the largest cities in the Sherman-Ada market including Sherman and Denison in Texas; as well as Ardmore, Durant and Hugo in Oklahoma.The outlet offers RSS (Really Simple Syndication).
