So I had no idea that the WWWB call letters used to be in Tampa. After some research I found that it wasn’t long after this at all that due to an affiliation deal with Sinclair, channel 32 lost its affiliation with WB to WTTA and changed its call letters to WMOR, and they are still an indy.

What was then WB affiliate WFVT 55 in Charlotte claimed the WWWB call letters not long after this and would keep them until April 2006, when they would be changed again to their current WMYT in advance of its switch to MyNetwork TV.
