What if WJRT transmitted from Clarkston, Michigan?

WJRT would not become an ABC affiliate as the transmitter would be located in the Detroit DMA, which already had ABC through then-O&O WXYZ. WJRT would instead become an affiliate of Fox.

Timeline

 * 1986 - WJRT becomes a charter Fox affiliate as an owned-and-operated station.
 * 1994 - WJRT stays with Fox as it the network was already on an analog VHF channel in the Detroit market and thus the 1994 realignment would never happen in Detroit. WJRT, if not already so in 1986, also becomes a Fox O&O and remains so today due to the Detroit Lions.
 * 2009 - WJRT permanently ceases broadcasts on analog channel 12.
