Fox Television Stations (FTS) acquired Bay Area stations KTVU Oakland and KICU-TV San Jose as part of a swap agreement with Cox Media Group (CMG), FTS said in a release. “With the addition of the San Francisco-Bay area stations, FTS now includes duopolies in seven of the top 10 U.S. markets,” FTS said. In exchange for the newly acquired stations, FTS transferred to CMG two owned-and-operated stations, WHBQ-TV Memphis and WFXT Boston, the release said. Both stations will remain Fox affiliates.
