WTVT's call letters stand for the initials of its founding owner, Tampa Bay radio veteran Walter Tison and his wife, Virginia Tinson. WTVT is also the second-oldest surviving station, behind WFLA. It was the third station in Tampa Bay, behind WSUN-TV (channel 38, frequency now occupied by WTTA) and WFLA-TV (channel 8). The station first started broadcasting on Apas a CBS affiliate. WTVT's studios are located in Tampa, and its transmitter is located in Riverview, Florida. It is an owned and operated station of the Fox Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of the Fox Corporation. WTVT, channel 13, is a television station in Tampa, Florida.
