In the early 1990s, WCPX decided to move the CBS program Picket Fences from Friday evenings to 11:35 p.m. on Saturdays, instead airing the syndicated Star Trek: The Next Generation in primetime on Fridays, a rarity for a big three network affiliate.
In 1997, First Media merged with the Meredith Corporation, which already owned Fox affiliate WOFL (channel 35).
