WCJB Gainesville FL

WCJB-TV, virtual channel 20 (UHF digital channel 16), is a dual ABC/CW+-affiliated television station licensed to Gainesville, Florida, United States. The station is owned by Gray Television. WCJB-TV's studios are located on Northwest 43rd Street in Gainesville, and its transmitter is located near Micanopy, Florida. WCJB began broadcasting April 7, 1971 as an NBC affiliate owned by William E. "Bill" Minshall. Originally broadcasting an analog signal on UHF channel 20, its call sign bears the first initials of his family members: Casey (daughter), JoAnn (wife), and himself, Bill. In 1973, just two years after its first broadcast, the station switched its affiliation to ABC, probably because that network held at the time exclusive rights to college football telecasts (which sometimes featured the local Florida Gators).
