WT05 (Toledo's WB5, formerly ToledoVision 5) is the flagship television station of Block Communications, which also owns the Toledo Blade and Buckeye CableSystem. It is the WB'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.
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 it launched a regional all-sports network, BCSN ("Buckeye Cable Sports Network") in 2004.
The CW
In the fall of 2006, The CW Television Network will begin broadcasting; the network was a result of a merger between the WB and UPN networks. WT05 will be the new affiliate.
