WSUN

WSUN (channel 34) is a television station licensed to Sarasota, Florida, United States, serving the Suncoast portion of the Tampa Bay market as an affiliate of The CW, and is owned by Adelphia Communications. 
== Broadcast Coverage ==
Due to this station's transmitter location and the changeover from analog to digital transmission, its coverage area expands as far north as southern Pasco and western Polk counties, south to Punta Gorda, and east to Avon Park and Sebring giving some over-the-air viewers a choice of two or three ABC affiliates depending on the location.
As a result, WSUN is technically a secondary CW affiliate particularly for the eastern side of Tampa Bay. The city of Tampa itself is on the rim of WSUN's digital signal where receivable through indoor antennas. On cable, the station is the sole CW affiliate on Comcast's southern Sarasota County systems.
WSUN has faced an uphill battle gaining carriage on cable and satellite providers in some cases. While DirecTV started carrying WSUN in 2009, Dish Network did not carry the station until March 2012, and only in standard definition. It was not available in high definition on Dish until 2017. Verizon FiOS added the station to its Hillsborough and Pasco County systems in October 2006 and eventually to its entire West Central Florida service area, as the system expanded. Those achievements greatly increased WSUN's coverage area and its overlap with WIXA (channel 33). In December 2013, non-duplication rules enforced by The CW and cable companies threatened to remove WSUN from all Verizon FiOS systems due to the presence of WIXA. WIXA worked with WSUN to retain local and syndicated programming on the provider, while blocking only the duplicated network programming, allowing WSUN to remain on FiOS.
== Brief History ==
WSUN was launched in 1953 by Hubbard Broadcasting. WSUN was an independent station until 1995 when they became an UPN affiliate. After 30 years of ownership, Hubbard sold the station to a local ownership group, the Sarasota Broadcasters, Inc. In 2006, WSUN left UPN to become a CW affiliate. In 2015, Adelphia purchased the station from the Sarasota Broadcasters, Inc.
