WGTW-TV
WGTW-TV, channel 48, is a Trinity Broadcasting Network-owned and operated television station for Philadelphia, it licensed to Burlington, New Jersey, and serving the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. With studios in suburban Folcroft, and transmitter in the nearby Roxborough section, WGTW's signal covers Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
==History==
Channel 48 was once the home of WKBS-TV, which operated from 1965 until 1983, when owner Field Communications voluntarily took the station off the air and returned its license to the Federal Communications Commission. Six months later, the FCC put channel 48's license back up for auction. Among those bidding on the license were Dorothy Brunson, an African-American radio executive from Baltimore; and Cornerstone Television, a Christian television network based in Pittsburgh. After a two-year process, the auction ended with Brunson winning the license. Cornerstone had, during the interim, purchased channel 48's transmitter, moved it to Altoona, and used it to sign on a new station in 1985 on channel 47, ironically enough under the WKBS-TV call letters.
Channel 48 signed back on the air on August 15, 1992, under the call letters WGTW-TV (Good TV to Watch), an independent station. Initially the station ran public domain movies, infomercials (including religious programs), and home-shopping programs. By 1994, WGTW had a larger variety of programming, including off-network series, first-run syndicated shows, and children's programs. The station also aired NBC daytime programs that were pre-empted by then-affiliate KYW-TV. However, by 2001, many of WGTW's classic shows were no longer available, and the financial restraints of ownership made the station unable to acquire better syndicated programming. As a result WGTW moved to more paid programming but still retained some general entertainment programs.
In 2004, Brunson sold the station to the Trinity Broadcasting Network and on October 1 of that year, the station switched to TBN programming. TBN is known for purchasing television stations so that the network could get must-carry status on area cable systems, despite offering almost no local programming. However, WGTW (like all TBN stations) does broadcast two hours of original local programming weekly: a public-affairs show called ''Joy in Our Town'' and a local version of ''Praise the Lord'', TBN's flagship program.
