Much like other situations where Sinclair has merged two separately-licensed signals onto one, WTTE's intellectual property will still identify with the on-air branding of "Fox 28", but will now identify with the WSYX call sign for station identification purposes instead of WTTE. The change did not affect pay TV users, though it is not known if Sinclair modified its retransmission consent agreement with area TV providers to air WSYX 6.3 instead of WTTE after February 3 on its basic tier. It is expected that TBD programming would now air on the basic tier alongside WSYX 6.3 after that date.
