As of 4 January 2020[update], Laff has current or pending affiliation agreements with television stations in 168 media markets encompassing 46 states, including Washington, DC (including stations in the top 13 markets), covering 90% of the United States.[1]
Charter affiliates included all 8 ABC Owned Television Stations and 13 E. W. Scripps Company stations.[2][3] The two initial deals gave Laff affiliate clearances in 35% of all U.S. markets, and 13 of the 30 largest television markets (including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, and Houston).[citation needed] On March 13, 2015, Katz Broadcasting announced an affiliation deal with the Cox Media Group to carry Laff on seven of its stations (including WSB-TV in Atlanta and WFXT in Boston), expanding its initial reach to 47% of the country;[4] the following week on March 20, as part of a multi-network affiliation agreement with Katz, the Meredith Corporation announced that it would carry the network on its stations in Portland, Oregon (KPTV) and Hartford (WFSB).[5][6]
Laff is also available on Univision Communications and Entravision Communications stations until 2024.
