FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Fort Wayne's Fox programming is on the move again.   

According to TV Newscheck.com, the Fox affiliation is moving back to WFFT-TV, the result of the settlement of a lawsuit between Nexstar Broadcasting Inc., which owns WFFT, and Granite Broadcasting Corp.,  which owns NBC affiliate WISE-TV.

Nexstar filed the suit after WFFT lost the Fox affiliation it had held for more than two decades to WISE in 2011.    

Fox has been affiliated with WISE since August of 2011, but the network's programming will move back to WFFT on March 1, according to the report.
