WACC

WACC is the CBS affiliated station serving Gainesville, FL, and it's surrounding areas. Broadcasting on channel 12, WACC is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. Following the merger of Oakhurst Broadcasting, Higgins Broadcasting, and Island Television into Adelphia Communications and Adelphia absorbing the remaining stations, Adelphia decided to shift focus on the stations that are in the top 50 DMA market. The remaining stations spun off to their own ownership group named Young Broadcasting, taking it's name from the former company before they merged in Media General.
On March 28, 2017, Young sold the station to CBS, making WACC a CBS owned-and-operated station. The station will become a semi-satellite of WDBO in Orlando.
On May 2, 2017, CBS sold WACC to Sinclair Broadcast Group. Due to the new ownership, WACC will no longer serve as a semi-satellite of Orlando-based WDBO.
