WPTA-DT3, virtual channel 21.3 (UHF digital channel 24.3), is a MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States. It operates as a third digital subchannel of ABC affiliate WPTA (channel 21), which is owned by Quincy Media. Its parent station's studios and transmitter are located on Butler Road in Northwestern Fort Wayne.
Originally established in 2005, WISE-DT2 was part of NBC Weather Plus and known on-air as "Indiana's NewsCenter Weather Plus". The 24-hour weather channel provided local and national weather forecasts. On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW. On February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced the launch of a new "sixth" network called MyNetworkTV, which would be operated by Fox Television Stations and its syndication division Twentieth Television. MyNetworkTV was created to compete against another The CW as well as to give UPN and WB stations that were not mentioned as becoming CW affiliates another option besides converting to independent stations.
