WT05 (Toledo's CW) is the flagship television station of Block Communications, which also owns the Toledo Blade and Buckeye CableSystem. It is the CW's Northwest Ohio affiliate.
Originally an exclusive to Buckeye CableSystem viewers, it had since been expanded to other cable systems in northwestern Ohio, such as Time Warner and Comcast. WT05 does not have an over-air broadcast signal.
[edit] History
WT05 was formed in the late 1980s when WUPW became the Fox affiliate for Northwest Ohio. The network was created to fill the independent television void for the market. The station joined the WB as a charter affiliate in 1995.
Over the years the station has carried Toledo area sports, including Toledo Mud Hens baseball and University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University football and basketball, to the point that Buckeye Cablesystem launched a regional all-sports network, BCSN ("Buckeye Cable Sports Network") on January 7, 2004.
In September 2006, WT05 became a CW affiliate.
