List of Laff affiliates
This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (November 2018) |
As of 4 January 2020, Laff has current or pending affiliation agreements with television stations in 168 media markets encompassing 46 states, including Washington, DC (including stations in the top 13 markets), covering 90% of the United States.[1]
Charter affiliates included all 8 ABC Owned Television Stations and 13 E. W. Scripps Company stations.[2][3] The two initial deals gave Laff affiliate clearances in 35% of all U.S. markets, and 13 of the 30 largest television markets (including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, and Houston).[citation needed] On March 13, 2015, Katz Broadcasting announced an affiliation deal with the Cox Media Group to carry Laff on seven of its stations (including WSB-TV in Atlanta and WFXT in Boston), expanding its initial reach to 47% of the country;[4] the following week on March 20, as part of a multi-network affiliation agreement with Katz, the Meredith Corporation announced that it would carry the network on its stations in Portland, Oregon (KPTV) and Hartford (WFSB).[5][6]
Laff is also available on Univision Communications and Entravision Communications stations until 2024.
