WSWB (channel 38) is a television station licensed to Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States, serving as the CW affiliate for Northeastern Pennsylvania. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside WOLF-TV (channel 56), a Fox affiliate, and WQMY (channel 53), an independent station with MyNetworkTV. The three stations share studios on PA 315 in the Fox Hill section of Plains Township; WSWB's transmitter is located on Bald Mountain, northwest of Scranton and I-476. WSWB's CW programming is broadcast from all three stations' transmitters.

The histories of channel 56 in Hazleton and channel 38 in Scranton are closely linked. A consortium of businessmen from New York state filed for both channels, with channel 38 as the main station and channel 56 as a satellite station to reach areas of southern Luzerne County. Channel 38, as WOLF-TV, and channel 56, as WWLF-TV, began broadcasting on June 3, 1985, simulcasting as the market's first modern independent station. In addition to becoming a Fox affiliate in 1986, WOLF-TV offered locally produced children's programming and was the first television station in the U.S. to air a newscast produced by a competing station: WNEP-TV, which began producing a 10 p.m. newscast for WOLF in 1991. A second repeater, WILF (channel 53) in Williamsport, launched in 1992.

In 1993, WOLF-TV's ownership merged into Pegasus Broadcast Television. In 1998, a comprehensive transmitter overhaul plan for the Pegasus stations saw channel 56 move to Penobscot Knob, the primary transmitter site for television in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and become the primary Fox affiliate as WOLF-TV. Channel 38 was split off as an affiliate of The WB under new WSWB call letters and ownership which contracted with Pegasus for programming and added UPN in 2005. It became the CW affiliate when The WB and UPN merged in 2006. New Age Media, which had bought Pegasus's stations out of bankruptcy, sold its assets to Sinclair in 2014, although Sinclair did not acquire the WSWB license until 2026.

History

[edit source]

Early years

[edit source]

In November 1980, a group of New York state businessmen led by Peter Rydell filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) seeking to build channel 38 at Scranton, Pennsylvania, promising a program lineup of classic reruns and movies.[2] At the time, the market had no conventional independent station, but the region's public station, WVIA-TV (channel 44), devoted a significant portion of its programming to classic movies and series.[3] Among the members of the application group was Syracuse radio manager Craig Fox. The same applicants simultaneously filed for channel 56 at Hazleton, southwest of Scranton, and proposed to build it as a satellite station of the proposed Scranton station.[4] Fox in April 1981 announced that channel 38 would primarily show religious programs and broadcast from a tower on Bald Mountain, already used by WDAU-TV (channel 22).[5] By April 1983, the backers hoped to launch channel 38 in July 1983 using space leased from WDAU, which had just moved to new studios.[6] This deadline was missed, as the studio site had not been chosen.[7] They were also revising their plans for the Hazleton station, given the call sign WERF-TV. They had initially filed for use of the tower of Hazleton radio station WAZL at low power but now sought a high-power facility at Penobscot Knob, a site used by three other local TV stations.[8]

By November 1984, the backers had shifted their plans for channel 38 from a religious station to a secular independent station, in the largest market not then served by one. There had not been an independent in the Scranton area since WTVU (channel 73) in the 1950s. The WOLF-TV call sign was also announced at this time.[9] Initial financing was put together by assembling a limited partnership that sold 30 shares.[10] WOLF-TV on channel 38 and WWLF-TV on channel 56 from Hazleton began broadcasting on June 3, 1985, with a lineup of children's programs, classic reruns, and prime time movies.[11][12] The station barely made it; the film machine necessary to telecast the five movies on its opening-night lineup was not working five minutes before sign-on.[10] It operated from facilities on Oak Street in Scranton.[13] Cable television systems carried its signal to points as distant as Williamsport, Reading, and Binghamton, New York.[14]

In October 1986, WOLF-TV joined the new Fox network.[15] At this time, it was also building out a local identity. Tom Powell, the first anchorman on and former news director of WDAU-TV, served as an on-air personality and consultant to WOLF;[16] Ron Allen, host of the Sportsline program on WARM, began hosting a weekly television version;[15] and a weekly public affairs program was added. The station also debuted a mascot, a wolf named "Henry the 38th", to make appearances in the area.[17] This was a notable turnabout for WOLF-TV, which had been counseled by its initial public relations firm to avoid animal imagery in its branding.[18][19] In 1988, WWLF-TV moved from the WAZL tower to a higher-power transmitter facility on Nescopeck Mountain, which was projected to improve the signal to households in southern Luzerne County and points south shaded from WOLF-TV by terrain.[20]

Children's programming was a major emphasis for WOLF-TV in its early years. In 1989, the station introduced a local kids club, the "WOLF Cub Club", and hosted segments in its children's programming.[21] The club, which predated the launch of Fox Kids by a year, attracted 5,000 members in three months,[22] 35,000 by 1992,[23] and 40,000 by 1993—more than the Fox Kids Club in the larger Philadelphia market.[24] Maria Zone, who had hosted the segments, departed in 1993 and was replaced by Scott Topper.[25] Topper also hosted a weekly half-hour local show, Topper's Clubhouse, which aired from 1994[26] through his departure in 1997.[27] At one point, estimated former WOLF manager Gil Hoban, children's programming brought in 40 percent of the station's revenue.[28]

WOLF-TV began airing a local newscast on January 2, 1991, under an arrangement with WNEP-TV (channel 16), the region's ABC affiliate. Newswatch 16 at 10 was produced at WNEP-TV, sent to WOLF-TV, and transmitted by WOLF;[29] the stations each sold half the advertising time in the program. It largely consisted of similar news items to WNEP's own 11 p.m. newscast because executives at WNEP believed that the 10 p.m. report would serve an older, early-to-bed audience who did not wish to stay up until 11 p.m. for the late news.[30] Newswatch 16 at 10 marked the first time that a local TV station produced a newscast for a competing station in the same market.[31][a] On December 30, 1992, WILF (channel 53) began broadcasting to Williamsport from a ridge southwest of the city as a second satellite.[33]

The ownership of WOLF-TV and WWLF-TV, Scranton TV Partners, merged with Pegasus Broadcast Television of Radnor, owner of two Fox affiliates in the South, in 1993.[34] The deal was technically a sale, valuing WOLF-TV and WWLF-TV at $12.5 million.[35] Two local partners in Scranton TV Partners remained part of the ownership consortium under Pegasus.[36]

1998 shuffle

[edit source]

In 1996, Pegasus proposed to move WWLF-TV to Penobscot Knob, thereby making it comparable to the major Scranton–Wilkes-Barre stations, and move the transmitter used by WWLF to Williamsport to upgrade WILF. This in turn would pave the way for the split of channels 38 and 56 and, because duopolies were not yet permitted by the FCC, the spin-off of one of the two stations to separate ownership, possibly a group that would run the station under a local marketing agreement (LMA).[37][38] The FCC granted approval to these changes in April 1997.[39] Pegasus planned to move Fox programming to channel 56 exclusively and then sell channels 38 and 53 to another group that would then enter into an LMA with Pegasus to program it as an affiliate of either UPN or The WB, neither of which had a primary affiliation with a full-power station in Northeastern Pennsylvania.[40] WYLN-LP provided WB programming, while WYOU-TV (the former WDAU-TV) was a secondary UPN affiliate.[41] By August 1998, The WB had been selected for the new station, and Pegasus had decided to keep WILF tied to the Fox affiliation.[42]

On November 26, 1998,[43] channel 56 became WOLF-TV and moved to a new tower on Penobscot Knob, jointly built with WNEP-TV. At that time, channel 38 became WSWB, a WB affiliate with an emphasis on the network's children's programming and regional sports coverage.[44][42] It was sold to KB Prime Media, a partnership of a local stockbroker and original WOLF-TV general manager Guy Turner, and LMAed back to Pegasus.[45] The new WB affiliate supplanted WPIX of New York City and WPHL-TV of Philadelphia on local cable systems.[46] Another division of Pegasus was involved in reselling DirecTV satellite service in rural areas. In June 2004, DirecTV moved to terminate its contract with Pegasus, prompting subsidiaries of the company to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.[47] All of the company's stations went up for sale. Pegasus attempted to buy WSWB, a deal the FCC stalled, and the bankruptcy trustee assigned the $2.1 million agreement to Mystic Television of Scranton, a firm owned by Daniel J. Duman of Silver Spring, Maryland.[48] In August 2006, the entire Pegasus group was put up for auction, and CP Media of Wilkes-Barre and its subsidiary New Age Media presented the winning bid for the company.[49][50]

In 2006, The WB and UPN merged to form The CW.[51] Though UPN programming had been unrepresented in Northeastern Pennsylvania,[52] WSWB had become a secondary UPN affiliate by the end of 2005.[53] WSWB was selected as the CW affiliate in March 2006.[54] WILF obtained the MyNetworkTV affiliation and was split off as its own station, WQMY.[55][56]

Sinclair operation and ownership

[edit source]

On September 25, 2013, New Age Media announced that it would sell most of its stations, including WOLF-TV and WQMY, to Sinclair Broadcast Group for $90 million. Concurrently, WSWB was to be sold by MPS Media to Cunningham Broadcasting and continue to be operated by WOLF-TV.[57][58] On October 31, 2014, New Age Media requested the dismissal of its application to sell WOLF-TV and WQMY;[59] the next day, Sinclair closed on its purchase of the non-license assets of the New Age Media stations.[60] New Age continued to hold the licenses, but Sinclair began operating the stations through a master service agreement.[61]

On July 28, 2021, the FCC issued a Forfeiture Order stemming from a lawsuit against MPS Media. The lawsuit, filed by AT&T, alleged that MPS Media failed to negotiate for retransmission consent in good faith for the stations. Owners of other Sinclair-managed stations, such as Deerfield Media, were also named in the lawsuit. MPS was ordered to pay a fine of $512,288.[62]

Sinclair filed on May 28, 2025, to acquire the WOLF-TV and WQMY licenses from New Age Media,[63] which was completed on August 1.[64] On February 24, 2026, Sinclair filed to acquire WSWB, requesting a waiver of ownership rules to own more than two broadcast licenses in the market. It contended that its ability to provide programming and other services to WSWB would be enhanced by direct ownership,[65] citing declining advertising revenues and economies of scale from full integration. The FCC granted such a waiver on April 21,[66] and the sale was completed on May 1.[67]

Analog-to-digital conversion

[edit source]

WOLF-TV and WSWB were among the last Scranton–Wilkes-Barre stations to launch digital signals, which were on the air by November 2003.[69] They were also among the first to cease analog broadcasts; WSWB closed its analog signal in December 2008.[70] The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 31, using virtual channel 38.[71] It relocated its signal to channel 34 in 2019 as a result of the 2016 United States wireless spectrum auction.[72]

Translator

[edit source]

A digital replacement translator provides additional coverage for WSWB.[68]

WSWB and the other major Scranton–Wilkes-Barre stations maintain secondary transmitters at Waymart, where the operation of the Waymart Wind Farm interferes with the reception of television signals from Mountain Top. In 2004, the FCC authorized the construction of a tower on Moosic Mountain.[73] FPL Energy (now NextEra Energy Resources), owner of the wind farm, built the facility to provide the signals of the major networks.[74]

Notes
