WBCB is The WB affiliate for Youngstown, Ohio. Launched in November 2004, WBCB is the sister station of Youngstown's NBC affiliate, WFMJ. The station operates as one of WFMJ's digital sub-channels on UHF channel 20. Since the station is one of WFMJ's digital sub-channels, its official callsign is also WFMJ-DT. The unofficial WBCB callsign is only used for marketing purposes.
WBCB is carried on all major cable systems in the Youngstown/Warren area, including the two largest - Time Warner and Armstrong. The station is not available in the Youngstown local channel packages of either DirecTV or Dish Network, and is not seen by viewers who do not have cable or digital receivers.
WBCB does not produce its own local newscasts. However, it rebroadcasts WFMJ's early morning newscasts at 8:00 AM (one hour after the show concludes on WFMJ).
On March 6, 2006, WFMJ announced that WBCB would become the Youngstown affiliate of the CW Network. [link]
