WSPF-CA channel 35, is St. Petersburg, Florida's city government channel, broadcasting City Council meetings and other public service programming for St. Petersburg residents, including the standard 3 hours weekly of children's educational programming mandated by the FCC.
St. Petersburg's city channel was first established in January 1990 a cable only affair, on cable 15 (where it still is today). Prior to then, the city presented some programs as part of Paragon Cable's Local Origination channel.
Channel 35 originally had its start in the early-1990s as W35AJ, which presented general entertainment programming from the Channel America network (which owned the station). Unfortunately, the station was on only intermittently, and would be off the air for weeks at a time. Ch.35 was already dark for a couple of years when St. Petersburg acquired the station in February 1995. In December 1999, the calls were changed to WSPF-CA.
On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, WSPF-CA will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
