History

Previously, WXAX-CD was home to SUR (another Spanish network), HTV (Latino music videos) and UATV (general entertainment).

The station was originally licensed and originated in St. Petersburg, then Clearwater, and, finally, Tampa. It is once again licensed in Clearwater, broadcasting from the Riverview antenna farm, directional towards Tampa. The general signal area covers most of Tampa and southwestern Hillsborough County, but barely reaches Pinellas County.

Currently, only Verizon FiOS and Dish Network offer the channel to Tampa Bay-area subscribers; other systems, such as Spectrum and Xfinity, do not offer this channel.

The construction permit was issued on July 3, 1990 under the callsign W26AX. It moved to WXAX-LP on July 22, 1996, and finally to the current WXAX-CD on June 3, 2015.[3]

gollark: Also, the microcrafting is *horrific*, though my plethora/turtle autocrafter *may* help.
gollark: I end up just always using CC, though, because it's just *nicer* for making cool projects without mucking around for ages with flashing OSes and crafting all the parts.
gollark: I kind of agree.
gollark: OC exists, people use it (possibly more), but unlike CC it's actually quite well-managed and doesn't need an unofficial forum.
gollark: I mean "nobody cares", because "there is not much OC news".
