WSYX

WSYX (channel 6) is a television station in Columbus, Ohio, United States, affiliated with ABC, MyNetworkTV and Fox. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which provides certain services to TBD station WTTE (channel 28, owned by Cunningham Broadcasting) and Chillicothe-licensed CW affiliate WWHO (channel 53, owned by Manhan Media) under separate local marketing agreements (LMAs). However, Sinclair effectively owns WTTE as the majority of Cunningham's stock is owned by the family of deceased group founder Julian Smith. The stations share studios on Dublin Road in Grandview Heights (with a Columbus mailing address), while WSYX's transmitter is located in the Franklinton section of Columbus.
