WBFS-TV, virtual channel 33 (UHF digital channel 32), is a MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station located in Miami, Florida, United States. The station is owned by the CBS Television Stations subsidiary of CBS Corporation, as part of a duopoly with CBS owned-and-operated station WFOR-TV (channel 4). The two stations share studio facilities located on Northwest 18th Terrace in Doral; WBFS maintains transmitter facilities located on Northwest 210st Street in Miramar.
Prior to the station's launch, the UHF channel 33 frequency in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale market was occupied by a low-power translator of competing independent WCIX (channel 6, now WFOR-TV on channel 4), whose primary full-power signal could not be received very well in Broward County as its transmitter was located in Homestead, positioned farther southwest than the transmitters of other Miami area stations in order to prevent signal interference with WPTV-TV in West Palm Beach and WDBO-TV (now WKMG-TV) in Orlando.
