WUTB, virtual channel 24 (digital channel 41), is a MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station located in Baltimore, Maryland. The station is owned by Deerfield Media, and is operated by the Sinclair Broadcast Group through a local marketing agreement, it is part of a virtual triopoly with Fox affiliate and Sinclair flagship WBFF (channel 45) and CW affiliate WNUV (channel 54). All three stations share studios and office facilities in the Woodberry section of Baltimore City, and WUTB's transmitter is based in Catonsville.
On cable, the station is carried on Comcast channel 24, and on Verizon FiOS channel 9. In most outlying areas of the market, the station carried on channel 10.
The channel 24 allocation in Baltimore was originally occupied by WMET-TV, which began broadcasting on March 1, 1967 as the first UHF station in Baltimore and was touted as "Baltimore's fourth television station" in a March 3 article in the Baltimore Evening Sun. It was a low-budget and low-powered station that was sister to WFAN in Washington, D.C. Both stations were owned by United Broadcasting (which is unrelated to the United Television that was owned by Chris-Craft Industries, which later owned channel 24). The original channel 24 was headquartered in the former Avalon Theatre on Park Heights Avenue. In 1972, both stations ceased broadcasting due to financial difficulties.
