WRDQ, channel 27, is an independent television station located in Orlando, Florida, United States. The station is owned by the Cox Media Group division of Cox Enterprises, and is part of a duopoly with ABC affiliate WFTV (channel 9). The two share studios on East South Street in downtown Orlando, and its transmitter is located in Christmas. On cable, WRDQ is carried on Charter Spectrum channel 10.
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
On April 14, 2008, the station launched a new digital sub-channel 27.2 to carry the Retro Television Network. On September 5, 2011, WRDQ replaced RTV with Antenna TV on its second digital subchannel. The RTV affiliation in Orlando then moved to a sub-channel of competitor WKMG-TV and later onto WRCF-CD. In June 2013, WRDQ added a third sub-channel 27.3. In January 2014, 27.3 was remapped as virtual channel 31.2 and used for a simulcast of Telemundo Orlando affiliate WTMO. On April 10, 2015 a fourth sub-channel 27.4 was added to accommodate the move of Grit TV from sister station WFTV.
WRDQ ended programming on its analog signal, on UHF channel 27, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 14 to channel 27 for post-transition operations.
