[edit] History
The original construction permit for Channel 45 was granted to the Central Florida Educational Television, Inc. in 1987. It was assigned the call letters WLCB-TV, which stood for Leesburg Community Broadcasting, after the station's city of license. WLCB was intended to become one of several secondary PBS member stations in the Central Florida market. However, Central Florida Educational Television was never able to get the station on the air, so it sold the construction permit and partially-completed transmitting facility to Good Life Broadcasting (then owner of then-WTGL-TV Channel 52) in May of 2000, after the FCC began to permit duopolies. Once Good Life secured the permit, it completed the construction of its transmitting facility, and the station signed on for the first time on December 12, 2000.
Good Life continued to own and operate both its original station and WLCB until September of 2006, when the original WTGL was sold to TBN and its callsign was subsequently changed to WHLV-TV. Good Life retained control of WHLV's operations, under a shared services agreement (SSA), as part of the deal. The two stations shared a studio on the corner of I-4 and Michigan Avenue in Orlando until June of 2007, when both stations moved to the former studios of WKCF in Lake Mary.[1]
With the WTGL callsign made available since the original WTGL became WHLV-TV, WLCB officially changed its callsign to WTGL (without the -TV suffix) on September 12, 2007.
