Fox thing after dark: In an effort to increase Web traffic and the size of its online community, News Corp.-owned WFLD-Ch. 32's MyFoxChicago.com is adding a local Internet dating feature to its site, beginning Sept. 15. Fox stations in Phoenix, Detroit and Orlando have similar efforts on their sites, with the Phoenix version, launched last year, reported to showcase more than 20,000 profiles.

Chicago's version of YourDatingSpot will enable users to sort potential companions by standard criteria such as ZIP code, age and height, as well by whether a potential love connection is a Cubs or Sox fan, prefers thin crust or deep dish pizza, and other categories. Users also will be able to post video and photos, you know, in case looks matter as much as your shared affection for the Blackhawks and Fox's Doppler radar.
