Field put all of its stations up for sale in 1982, which then sold all of its stations except WKBS-TV as part of its liquidation in 1983. Despite their struggle to sell the station for the amount of money they wanted, Field later sold WKBD to Cox Enterprises in 1984 and became one of the original charter Fox affiliates, falling in-line with then-sister stations KTVU in Oakland and KDNL-TV in St. Louis on October 9, 1986.
