This article is about the cable TV station in Youngstown. For the radio station, see
WBCB (AM).
WBCB is CW Network affiliate for Youngstown, Ohio. Launched in November 2004 as a WB affiliate, WBCB is the sister station of Youngstown's NBC affiliate, WFMJ. The station operates as one of WFMJ's digital sub-channels on channel 20.
WBCB is carried on all major cable systems in the Youngstown/Warren area, including the two largest - Time Warner and Armstrong. It is also carried by DirecTV.
WBCB's programming begins each day with The Daily Buzz morning news (6-9am) followed by a Cosby hour and a court block with Judge Mathis and Judge Alex. WBCB airs the teen drama Degrassi as well as an hour of Friends (5-6pm) and Frasier (6-7pm). WBCB's 7-8pm programming consists of Seinfeld and Frasier respectively. CW prime-time airs 8-10pm followed by an hour of Will & Grace.
Since the station is one of WFMJ's digital sub-channels, its official callsign is also WFMJ-DT. The "WBCB" calls are strictly for marketing purposes that date back to the station's days as a WB affiliate. For unknown reasons, the artificial call sign "WBCB" was kept after The WB and UPN merged to form The CW and giving the affiliation to WBCB.
