What FOX 35 Orlando does

FOX 35 Orlando (legal call letters WOFL) is a Fox-affiliated local television station headquartered in Lake Mary, Florida, serving the Central Florida designated market area (DMA) across Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Volusia, Brevard, Flagler, and Marion counties. Founded in 1979 and operating with a staff of 51–100, the station is owned and operated by Fox Television Stations, a division of publicly traded Fox Corporation (NASDAQ: FOXA). Its core offering is local news, weather, sports (Orlando Magic, Orlando City SC, high school athletics), traffic, and theme-park coverage for Central Florida residents and visitors.

The station's product surface is multi-platform. The flagship fox35orlando.com website carries articles, video, and live streaming. Distribution extends to over-the-air broadcast on Channel 35, the FOX Local App on iOS and Android, connected-TV platforms (Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV), and the 24/7 LiveNOW from FOX continuous news stream. Weather operations are anchored by the FOX 35 Storm Center — an interactive radar built on Mapbox tile infrastructure and integrated with FOX Weather data — supporting storm tracking, tropical cyclone updates, and severe-weather alerting in partnership with the National Hurricane Center, NOAA, and local emergency management agencies. Sub-brands include Good Day Orlando (morning show), FOX 35 Storm Team, FOX 35 Care Force, The 407 (lifestyle), and theme-park-focused editorial verticals.

FOX 35 Orlando generates revenue primarily through television advertising sold against local newscasts, weather segments, and streaming inventory to local businesses and national advertisers targeting the Central Florida market. Advertising rates are not publicly disclosed, and content is free to viewers over-the-air and via supported streaming platforms. No subscription, pay-per-view, or transactional pricing exists for standard content.
