WOFL, virtual channel 35 and UHF digital channel 22, is an Fox owned-and-operated television station located in Orlando, Florida, United States. The station is owned by the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of 21st Century Fox, and is part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated WRBW (channel 65). The two stations share studios located on Skyline Drive in Lake Mary, Florida, and its transmitter is located in unincorporated Bithlo, Florida.
WOFL's programming is also seen on a semi-satellite station, WOGX (channel 51) in Ocala, Florida.
The channel 35 allocation in Orlando was previously occupied by WSWB, Central Florida's first independent station, which signed on the air on March 31, 1974. Owned by Sun World Broadcasting, WSWB produced children's programing (Uncle Hubie's Penthouse Barnyard), and aired reruns of such shows as Batman, Bugs Bunny, Popeye, Green Acres, Mister Ed and Lost In Space. The 1970s' recession impacted the station's operations; Sun World encountered financial difficulties and was forced to file for bankruptcy in January 1976. The station signed off the air in May 1977; WSWB's studios would later become the studios for WMFE television (now WUCF-TV) and radio.
