'''WDRB''' (channel 41) is a [[television station]] in [[Louisville, Kentucky]], United States, affiliated with the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] network. It is owned by [[Block Communications]] alongside [[Salem, Indiana]]–licensed dual [[The CW|CW]]/[[MyNetworkTV]] affiliate [[WBKI (TV)|WBKI]] (channel 58). The two stations share studios on West [[Muhammad Ali Boulevard]] (near [[U.S. Route 150#Kentucky|US 150]]) in [[downtown Louisville]]; WDRB's transmitter is located in rural northeastern [[Floyd County, Indiana]] (northeast of [[Floyds Knobs]]).

WDRB went on the air in February 1971 as the first [[independent station]] in the Louisville market, being owned in turn by a Missouri consortium, the [[Star Tribune|Minneapolis Star & Tribune]] Company, and Block. It affiliated with Fox at the network's launch in 1986 and began producing local newscasts in 1990. Initially starting with just one newscast at 10&nbsp;p.m., in the 2000s and 2010s it expanded its news operation into morning and evening time slots.
