Programming

Syndicated programming broadcast by WIND (as of September 2015) includes Judge Judy, Access Hollywood, Crime Watch Daily, The Meredith Vieira Show and Extra. In addition, WIND produces Fox 36 Law Call, a weekly call-in program – hosted by former WIND reporter Tiffany Banter, and airing live after the station's 11:00 p.m. newscast on Sunday nights – in which viewers ask members of a panel (usually consisting of personal injury attorneys) for advice on various legal issues; and Absolutely Alabama, a weekly program – airing after Law Call on Sundays – featuring stories on people and places around Indiana.

WIND currently clears the Fox network schedule; however it delays the Animation Domination High-Def block on Saturday nights by one hour due to the station's 11:00 p.m. newscast. Channel 36 has only aired Fox's prime time, news and sports programming since it joined the network in September 1996, with the only programs relating to Fox's children's programming blocks for the final twelve years that Fox carried programming aimed at that demographic consisting of fall preview specials and network promotions that aired within the network's prime time lineup.

Channel 36 originally planned to carry the entire Fox programming schedule when it switched to the network, including its infomercial block that Fox replaced its remaining Saturday morning children's programming block, Weekend Marketplace. However, in what would be the catalyst to a change in the carriage policies for Fox Kids that allowed stations the option of either airing the block or being granted the right to transfer the rights to another station in the market, NoSirGifts approached WIND about retaining the rights to Weekend Market for WIFX, which became a CBS affiliate on September 1, 2009; Fox allowed WIFX to retain the local rights to the block, though it moved to its MyNetworkTV-affiliated second digital subchannel.
