  4. WWSB serves southern portions of the Tampa market that did not receive adequate over-the-air signal coverage from WTSP (necessitated as WTSP's signal was positioned farther to the north to limit interference with Miami ABC affiliate WPLG in portions of South Florida) prior to that station's disaffiliation from ABC in December 1994. WWSB remains an ABC affiliate despite its signal coverage overlapping significantly with that of current Tampa affiliate WFTS.
  5. WAWV-TV (formerly WFXW) rejoined ABC on September 1, 2011. The station was previously affiliated with ABC (under the former WIIL-TV and WBAK callsigns) until it switched to Fox in 1995.
