==History==
The station first signed on the air on October 22, 1990 as WNPL-TV (for Na P Les) which was founded and run by CEO William Darling of Southwest Florida Telecommunications. Originally operating as an independent station, it filled a void in the market after WFTX-TV (channel 36) joined Fox four years earlier in October 1986. The station first operated from studios located on Goodlette Road in Naples. The station was beset with problems early on, particularly with regard to finding programming. Despite this, from 1993 to 1998, the station carried Florida Marlins baseball games televised by WBFS-TV in Miami. It also was the area's affiliate for the Orlando Magic broadcast network.
On January 16, 1995, the station became a charter affiliate of the United Paramount Network; it subsequently changed its call letters to WTVK in September of that year (those calls were previously used on what is now WVLT-TV in Knoxville, Tennessee; the WNPL call sign was brought back to the Fort Myers-Naples market in 2009 when a new radio station at 1460 AM signed on to improve coverage of WPTK – 1200 AM, now WJUA). Darling sold the station to Second Generation Television in 1995. In 1998, Second Generation sold the station to ACME Communications, which swapped affiliations with the area's cable-only WB affiliate WSWF (now WNFM). It then adopted the on-air moniker "WB 6", after its cable channel location in the market.
On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW.〔('Gilmore Girls' meet 'Smackdown'; CW Network to combine WB, UPN in CBS-Warner venture beginning in September ), CNNMoney.com, January 24, 2006.〕〔(UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network ), ''The New York Times'', January 24, 2006.〕 ACME later announced on March 9, 2006 that its stations, including WTVK, were to join The CW when it launched on September 18, 2006, with WNFM choosing to affiliate with fellow upstart network MyNetworkTV. On May 15, 2006, ACME announced that it would sell WTVK to Sun Broadcasting. The sale was completed on February 16, 2007, with the station subsequently changing its call sign to WXCW on March 2.
