On January 1, 1996, WVUE-TV affiliated with Fox, ending its 43-year affiliation with ABC, which moved to The WB station WGNO (channel 26); New Orleans' original Fox affiliate, WNOL-TV (channel 38), took the WB affiliation (that network had been affiliated with WGNO for just shy of a year prior to the switch, due to that station's owner, Tribune Broadcasting's partial ownership interest in The WB). WVUE was the only former Burnham station that transferred to Fox that was an ABC affiliate: WALA (now owned by the Meredith Corporation), WLUK (now owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group), and KHON (now owned by Nexstar Media Group) were formerly associated with NBC.
