30-year relationship to continue

Sunbeam Television’s WSVN-TV in Miami said it renewed its affiliation deal with Fox, continuing a 30-year relationship with the network.

WSVN has been known for its colorful, fast-moving local newscasts, which made for a good fit when Fox was in its upstart stage.

Sunbeam also owns WHDH-TV in Boston, but the station and the network broke up in 2017. WHDH now operates as an independent.

“We have enjoyed a 30-year partnership with the Fox Network,” said Ed Ansin, WSVN owner & president. “Our strong news brand, viewer loyalty and Fox’s programming, which targets viewers 25-54, make us perfect partners.”

Financial terms were not disclosed.
