Fox Buying Station in Seattle

Fox, after telling Tribune that it was taking away the network affiliation from Tribune’s KCPQ Seattle, has moved to fill the gap by buying its own station in the market. Venture Technologies Group, owner of KBCB Bellingham, is selling the station in suburban Seattle to Fox Television Stations for $10 million, according to an application filed at the Federal Communications Commission. KBCB now carries ShopHQ and Estrella TV programming.
