WTWC-TV, virtual channel 40 (UHF digital channel 22), is a dual NBC/Fox-affiliated television station licensed to Tallahassee, Florida, United States, serving the Big Bend of Florida and Southwest Georgia. The station is owned by the Hunt Valley, Maryland–based Sinclair Broadcast Group. WTWC-TV's studios are located on Deerlake South in unincorporated Leon County, Florida northwest of Bradfordville (with a Tallahassee postal address), and its transmitter is located in unincorporated Thomas County, Georgia, southeast of Metcalf, along the Florida state line.

 

Sinclair also provides some engineering functions for Bainbridge, Georgia–licensed Heroes & Icons outlet WTLH, channel 49 (owned by New Age Media) and Tallahassee-licensed CW affiliate WTLF, channel 24 (owned by MPS Media and operated by New Age Media under a local marketing agreement (LMA)). WTLF and WTLH share separate facilities on Commerce Boulevard in Midway, Florida; master control and some internal operations for the two stations are based at WTWC-TV's studios.

 

WTWC-TV was the third commercial television station built in Tallahassee. Technical and financial battles dominated its first 13 years on air, including a malfunction with the station's tower that contributed to a four-year-long bankruptcy proceeding in the 1990s. It has made two attempts at producing local news, neither of which lasted more than several years.
