KDFI (channel 27), branded on-air as Fox 4 More or More 27, is a television station licensed to Dallas, Texas, United States, broadcasting MyNetworkTV to the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. It is owned and operated by Fox Television Stations alongside Fox outlet KDFW (channel 4, also licensed to Dallas). Both stations share studios on North Griffin Street in downtown Dallas, while KDFI's transmitter is located in Cedar Hill, Texas. History Prior history of UHF channel 27 in Dallas–Fort Worth The UHF channel 27 allocation in the Dallas–Fort Worth market was initially applied for broadcasting use by Overmyer Communications, who filed a license application in 1966.
