WTVT (fictional)

WTVT, virtual channel 13 (VHF digital channel 12), is a CBS owned-and-operated television station licensed to Tampa, Florida, United States and serving the Tampa Bay area. The station is owned by the CBS Television Stations subsidiary of ViacomCBS, as part of a duopoly with St. Petersburg-licensed CW owned-and-operated station WTOG (channel 44). WTVT's studios are located on Kennedy Boulevard on Tampa's west side, with a secondary studio on Northeast 105th Terrace in St. Petersburg near the west end of the Gandy Bridge; WTVT's transmitter is located in Riverview, Florida.

WSUN-TV (channel 54) in operates as a semi-satellite of WTVT. As such, it simulcasts all network and syndicated programming as provided through WTVT but airs separate commercial inserts, legal identifications, local newscasts and Sunday morning religious programs, and has its own website. WSUN-TV serves the eastern side of the Tampa Bay while WTVT serves the western side. The two stations are counted as a single unit for ratings purposes. Although WSUN-TV maintains its own facilities on Paramount Drive in Sarasota, master control and some internal operations are based at WTVT and WTOG's main studio facilities. WTVT, WTOG and WSUN-TV also jointly operate CBSN Tampa Bay.
