Television

Jacksonville is the 47th largest local television market in the United States,[3] and is served by television stations affiliated with all the major American networks. The Jacksonville designated market area has the distinction of being the only United States television market in which affiliates of all four major broadcast networks are involved in both virtual and legal duopolies (Gannett Company owns WJXX and WTLV outright, while Cox Media Group owns WFOX-TV and operates WJAX-TV through joint sales and shared services agreements with Bayshore Television). WJXT is a former longtime CBS affiliate that turned independent in 2002.[4] The Jacksonville television market serves Northeastern Florida and Southeastern Georgia.

Online media

Jacksonville.com is the online edition of the Florida Times-Union. Each of the television stations that offer a news program also has a website for news.

The Coastal, a web-based magazine geared toward young professionals in the area, launched in late 2015. [10]

Most of the area's printed publications also have websites that offer some or all of the current major articles online, but not all offer archival access. The wikitable under "Print Media" specifies their URLs.

Several popular local blogs include Metro Jacksonville.
