WTTA
Encyclopedia

-affiliated television station
for the Tampa Bay Area
of Florida
that is licensed to St. Petersburg
. It broadcasts a high definition
digital signal on UHF channel 32 from a transmitter in Riverview
. Owned by Bay Television, the station is operated by the Sinclair Broadcast Group
through a local marketing agreement
(LMA). WTTA has studios at Bald Cypress Place in Tampa
. Syndicated
programming on the station includes: Seinfeld
, The New Adventures of Old Christine
, Everybody Loves Raymond
, and The People's Court
. On cable, it can be seen on Bright House
and Knology
channel 6, Comcast
channel 11 in Sarasota County
, and Comcast channel 29 in Hardee County
.
. It is only offered on Bright House digital channel 632. It cannot be seen on Comcast or Knology systems yet but will likely be added at some point.
, which operated from 1953 until 1970. That station also served as the area's first ABC
affiliate until WLCY (now WTSP
) signed-on in 1965 making WSUN an Independent until going dark in 1970. In 1986, a local group won a new license for analog channel 38. WTTA was originally scheduled to sign-on in the fall of 1990 with programming from the "Star Television Network" which offered a mix of old programming and infomercials under the "TV Heaven" name. In September 1990, there was also an ad for "TV Heaven 38" in the Tampa/Sarasota
edition of TV Guide
magazine. However, the station was not ready to broadcast yet since Star was in financial trouble and the network went dark on January 16, 1991.
On June 21 of that year WTTA began its regular broadcasting schedule as an Independent consisting mainly of syndicated shows passed over by other stations, barter programming, uncleared network shows, and infomercial
s. Due to its low budget, weekend programming tended to consist entirely of infomercials. WTTA also presented a televised simulcast of the WRBQ
-FM 104.7 weekday morning show called Q Morning Zoo
until the radio station changed formats to country music
in the early-1990s. In December 1994, Fox
programming moved from WFTS-TV
to WTVT
as part of a group deal with its then-owners, New World Communications
. Upon the changeover, that station did not pick up Fox Kids
which was passed over to WTTA. Fox Kids later moved to rival WMOR-TV
that also aired the later 4KidsTV block on Sunday mornings until its shutdown on December 28, 2008. At the same time, the E.W. Scripps Company (owners of WFTS) cut an affiliation deal with ABC which resulted in WFTS selling most of its syndicated shows to WTTA. Meanwhile, CBS
would move from WTVT to WTSP.
In 1998, WTTA owner Bay Television entered into a local marketing agreement (LMA) with the Sinclair Broadcast Group that in years to come would become one of the nation's largest broadcast companies. However, Bay Television is effectively a subsidiary of Sinclair. It is owned by David Smith, J. Duncan Smith, Frederick Smith, Robert Smith, and Robert Simmons. The Smith brothers also control Sinclair making Bay Television a de-facto subsidiary of Sinclair. It could also be considered a shell corporation used for the purpose of circumventing Federal Communication Commission (FCC) ownership rules. Normally, this would apply to a duopoly that Sinclair operates but there is no second owned station in the Tampa Bay market
.
Also in 1998, WTTA became Tampa Bay's second affiliate for The WB after a group deal with Sinclair was made. WMOR had been the network's charter affiliate and reverted back to an Independent. This station used the on-air moniker "WB 38" and ran cartoons from Kids' WB
during the week until January 2006 when the network discontinued its kids block. On January 24, The WB and UPN
announced that the networks would end broadcasting and merge. The new combined network would be called The CW. The letters would represent the first initial of its corporate parents: CBS (the parent company of UPN) and the Warner Bros.
unit of Time Warner
. On February 22, News Corporation
announced that it would start up another new network called MyNetworkTV. This new service, which would be a sister network to Fox, would be operated by Fox Television Stations and its syndication division Twentieth Television. MyNetworkTV was created in order to give UPN and WB stations, not mentioned as becoming CW affiliates, another option besides becoming Independent. It was also created to compete against The CW.
It was pretty much a given that Tampa Bay's UPN affiliate WTOG
(that was an owned-and-operated
UPN station owned by the CBS Corporation
) would become the area's CW outlet. WTTA's future was uncertain until Sinclair announced that it, along with most of Sinclair's WB and UPN affiliates, would affiliate with MyNetworkTV. The station was branded as "My TV Tampa Bay" a week before the station began to air the new network which occurred on September 5.
On September 3, 2007, it began airing the controversial Live Prayer with Bill Keller
. Keller had been bounced from station to station in the Tampa Bay area and landed on WTTA after a sudden departure from WTOG. The show moved to Ion Television affiliate WXPX-TV in November 2007 after WTTA imposed new restrictions regarding live programming. Like most Sinclair-owned stations, this channel has been broadcasting digital-only since February 17, 2009. This station and competing CW affiliate WTOG moved back to their respective analog channels at the end of the U.S. analog shutdown
in 2009 because of the FCC auctioning UHF channels 52-69 for non-television use. Originally, the station had aired a digital signal on UHF channel 57 before moving back to channel 38. In October 2009, the FCC approved the request by WTTA to relocate to UHF channel 32 to avoid adjacent channel problems from WFTV
in Orlando
. On August 23, 2010, WTTA completed the channel move.
operation based at company headquarters on Beaver Dam Road in Hunt Valley, Maryland
. Although national news, weather forecasts, and some sports originated from News Central, local news and sports operations were based at WTTA's studios. It also aired "The Point", a one-minute conservative political commentary, that was also controversial and a requirement of all Sinclair-owned stations with newscasts. Due to poor ratings, WTTA's news department was shut down on March 31, 2006. This was also due in part from poor financial planning by Sinclair. It occurred as part of the systematic shutdown of the company's news operations around the country. Syndicated programming replaced the newscasts.
On October 8, 2007, Sinclair and NBC
affiliate WFLA-TV
(flagship of owner Media General
) entered into a news share agreement resulting in a weeknight prime time newscast produced by that station called NewsChannel 8 at 10 on My TV Tampa Bay. Original personnel included news anchors Peter Bernard and Katie Coronado with weather from meteorologists Mace Michaels or Leigh Spann. The broadcast aired from WFLA's studios on South Parker Street in Downtown Tampa. This arrangement was similar to ones established at Sinclair stations in Raleigh
, Buffalo
, Flint
, Charleston
, and Las Vegas
. The news share and WFLA broadcasts ended on April 30, 2009.
