Regarding WB affil, sister WPHL-TV edit

For the time being, this station is carrying a secondary affiliation with The WB. This will end when The CW debuts in the fall. Since sister-station WPHL­TV will be affiliating with My Network TV, this station's secondary will likely also become MyNet. Right now, the WB programming is only carried in the late-night hours, causing some cable systems in this station's viewing area to import WPHL-TV. This fact has caused an edit war on the WPHL-TV page. Hopefully, adding a few mentions of the "other" station, in passing, to this page will help to cool tensions.

Call Sign Meaning edit

"Pennsylvania Movie Time" might have been the original slogan (see this 1985 station ID: [1] ) but by the late 1980s (when I was old enough to remember), the station was advertising as "Pride in My Town". See this 1986 station ID: [2] 97.102.30.205 (talk) 13:21, 3 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
