History

The station signed-on April 21, 1983 as the market's third commercial outlet, broadcasting an analog signal on UHF channel 40. It immediately joined NBC, making Tallahassee one of the last markets in the United States with full service from all three major networks. Tallahassee had a very long wait for full network service, even though it had been big enough to support at least two stations by the late-1950s and three by the 1960s. However, the Tallahassee market is a very large market geographically, stretching across most of the central Florida Panhandle and much of Southwestern Georgia.
