WRDC UPN 28 Slide.png
On January 16, 1995, WRDC began branding as UPN 28, carrying UPN programs while still carrying some NBC programs as their contract with the network did not expire until September. Later on September 4, 1995, channel 28 became a full-time UPN affiliate with the remainder of the station's NBC programs moving to WNCN (UHF channel 17). Brissette sold WRDC to Glencairn Ltd. (later Cunningham Broadcasting), which the Sinclair Broadcast Group (owner of WLFL) would later purchase outright in 2001 after the FCC finally allowed duopolies.
===2002–2006===
===2006–present===
In September 2006, UPN merged with The WB to form The CW. As The CW went to sister station WLFL (UHF channel 22), WRDC joined another new network, MyNetworkTV.
