Encyclopedia
WARP-CD is a television station owned by the Sunshine Broadcasting Company, and broadcasts on UHF
channel 20. WARP generally broadcasts local programming and infomercials over four subchannels.
WARP originally began as an affiliate of The Box until that network's acquisition by Viacom in 2001, in which it became MTV2
. Since then the station began to broadcast more on its schedule.
Broadcasting on a tower on Gandy Boulevard in St. Petersburg, adjacent to Goodwill, WARP broadcasts on an east-west beam, towards central Pinellas County and Tampa, to protect the signals of Gainesville's WCJB-TV and Fort Myers' WBBH-TV, both also broadcasting on channel 20.
WARP-CA's call sign suffix (CA for Class A Low Power) was changed to WARP-CD (Class A Digital) automatically upon grant of WARP-CA's digital license in late-2009. WARP-CD currently broadcasts 4 channels of standard definition digital TV on channels 20.1, 20.2, 20.3 & 20.4.
