It is locally owned by Sun Broadcasting alongside CW affiliate WXCW (channel 46) and two low-power stations: Univision/UniMás affiliate WUVF-LD (channel 2) and WANA-LD (channel 18).

The stations share studios on Corporate Lakes Drive in Gateway; WFTX-TV's transmitter is located near Punta Gorda (east of I-75/SR 93) near the Charlotte and Lee county line.
