WTLF is the CW-affiliated television station for South Georgia and Florida's Big Bend. Licensed to Tallahassee, Florida, it broadcasts a 720p high definition digital signal on UHF channel 24 from a transmitter at its studios on Commerce Boulevard in Midway, Florida. Owned by MPS Media, it is operated through a local marketing agreement (LMA) by New Age Media as sister station to Me-TV affiliate WTLH (the two outlets share studios together).
Both of the stations, in turn, are operated by the Sinclair Broadcast Group (owner of NBC affiliate WTWC-TV) through a master service agreement. WTWC maintains separate facilities on Deerlake South in unincorporated Leon County, Florida northwest of Bradfordville (with a Tallahassee postal address). Although it is a full-powered outlet, all programming is provided through The CW Plus national service except for local commercials.
Even though WTLF broadcasts a digital signal of its own, it only covers the immediate Tallahassee area. As a result, it is simulcast in 1080i high definition on WTLH's second digital subchannel. This can be seen on UHF channel 50.2 (or virtual channel 49.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter in unincorporated Thomas County, Georgia, southeast of Metcalf, along the Florida state line.
