WDAY-TV

WDAY-TV, channel 6, is the ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Fargo, North Dakota. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 21 (or virtual channel 6.1 via PSIP) from a 1,000-foot (300 m) tall transmitter tower near Amenia. On cable, the station can be seen on channel 6 in most areas.

The station is owned by Forum Communications of Fargo, which also owns WDAY Radio and The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead. The facilities for WDAY-TV and Radio are on South 8th Street in downtown Fargo.

Syndicated programming on WDAY includes The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, Judge Judy, Rachael Ray, among others.

Although operated as a separate station in its own right, WDAZ-TV in Grand Forks is actually considered a semi-satellite of WDAY. It clears all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent but airs separate newscasts, station identifications, and commercial inserts. WDAY serves the southern portion of the Fargo/Grand Forks market while WDAZ serves the northern portion. The two stations often share news stories. Master control and some internal operations for WDAZ are based at WDAY's facilities in Fargo. The two stations are counted as a single unit for ratings purposes. DirecTV and Dish Network offer both WDAY and WDAZ.
