WSYM-TV

WSYM-TV (channel 47) is a television station in Lansing, Michigan, United States, affiliated with the Fox network. It is owned by Gray Media alongside NBC affiliate WILX-TV (channel 10). The two stations share studios on American Road (near I-96) in Lansing; WSYM-TV's transmitter is located in Hamlin Township along M-50/M-99/South Clinton Trail.

Channel 47 in Lansing went on the air December 1, 1982, as WFSL-TV, owned by real estate developers and Sol Steadman as an independent station. Although Lansing was the largest market in the country without a full-time ABC affiliate, the network rebuffed Ferguson and Steadman's requests for an affiliation to avoid encroaching on the service areas of three nearby affiliates. Ferguson and Steadman sold WFSL-TV to The Journal Company in 1985; the new owners changed the call sign to WSYM-TV. In spite of the 1986 launch of Fox, WSYM-TV's continued courtship of ABC led it to avoid the new network. This changed when Ferguson started a second Lansing station, WLAJ, in 1990. Ferguson designed WLAJ's signal pattern to meet ABC's requirements and win that network's affiliation, leading WSYM-TV to become a Fox affiliate.

Under Journal, WSYM-TV began a 10 p.m. newscast in 1997 but turned over production of its newscasts to WILX-TV in 2004. The station eventually aired morning, early evening, and late evening newscasts produced by WILX. After Journal's stations merged into the E. W. Scripps Company in 2015, WSYM-TV began an in-house news operation at the start of 2021. Scripps traded WSYM-TV to WILX-TV owner Gray Media in a transaction completed in April 2026.
