WJHG-DT2 is the CW-affiliated television station for Panama City, Florida. It is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WJHG-TV (owned by Gray Television) and is part of the national CW Plus service. Over-the-air, the station airs a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 18.2 (or virtual channel 7.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter along SR 20 in unincorporated Youngstown. WJHG-DT2's parent station has studios on Front Beach Road/SR 30 in Panama City Beach.
What is now WJHG-DT2 began on September 21, 1998 after WJHG entered into a partnership with The WB 100+, a national programming service operated by The WB for television markets ranked greater than 100, and cable systems in the Panama City area. Prior to 1998, The WB's programming was available in Panama City via WGN-TV's national feed or local WB affiliates, WDZL (later became, WBZL, now WSFL) in Miami, FL or WTMV (later became WWWB, now WMOR-TV) in St. Petersburg, FL. It was a cable-exclusive station, and as a result, used the call sign "WBPC" (standing for "The WB Panama City") in a fictional manner for identification purposes. WJHG provided local advertisement opportunities and performed promotional duties for the outlet.
