WDAU

WDAU is FOX affiliate and it serves Dothan, Alabama, and it's surrounding areas. Broadcasting on channel 29, WDAU is owned and operated by Young Broadcasting. Launched in 1991 by Ozark Communications, WDAU has been with FOX since they launched. Even as a FOX affiliate WDAU struggled in the ratings race finishing even behind then-independent WDOT. In 2000, Ozark Communications sold the station to Island Television. And Island Television began to make upgrades to the station. In 2016, Adelphia Communications became the new owners after Higgins Broadcasting, Oakhurst Communications, and Island Television merged into the company. After the merger, Adelphia shifted their focus on the stations that are in the top 50 DMA market, and spun off the rest of the stations to Young Broadcasting.
