History
The FCC licensed Vernon Watson to broadcast on channel 12 in Pensacola, Florida in June 1992. The FCC then assigned the translator-style callsign W12CN to the station. In 1994 and 1995, the station was struggling to be added the local cable system and to have their TV schedule listed in the local newspapers -- typical among most low-powered TV stations. In March 1995, the station became The WB affiliate for Pensacola. In October 1995 the station's call sign was changed from W12CN to WBQP, later that month, the station was added to the local cable system. It started webcasts in 1998 and was one of the first to do so. The WB affiliation eventually moved to WFGX, and then to WBPG.Trivia
