WNAB, virtual channel 58 (UHF digital channel 23), is a CW-affiliated television station located in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The station is owned by Tennessee Broadcasting, and is operated by the Sinclair Broadcast Group under an outsourcing agreement. This makes WNAB a sister station to Fox affiliate WZTV (channel 17) and MyNetworkTV affiliate WUXP-TV (channel 30). All three share studios on Mainstream Drive along the Cumberland River, WNAB's transmitter is located in Whites Creek, Tennessee.
The station first signed on the air on November 29, 1995 as The WB affiliate for the Nashville market. Prior to WNAB's debut, WB programming was only available on Nashville area cable and satellite providers either through Chicago-based national superstation WGN, or by Cookeville outlet WKZX (now WNPX-TV), which served the eastern part of the market. By mere coincidence, the call letters were chosen in 1987 (as a construction permit) as WNAB; something that would be exploited when the station became affiliated with The WB. Original owner Speer Communications, a company founded by Home Shopping Network co-founder Roy Speer, launched the station from studios on Dickerson Road in Nashville, in a former Sam's Club building.
