WBCB (The CW Plus)

WFMJ-DT2 is the CW-affiliated television station serving the Mahoning Valley of Northeastern Ohio and Northwestern Pennsylvania that is licensed to Youngstown, Ohio. Owned by the Maag family (under the holding company Vindicator Printing Company), it operates as a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WFMJ-TV; this also places the station under the same ownership as The Vindicator daily local newspaper. Over the air, it broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 20.2 (or virtual channel 21.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter located on Mabel Street in Youngstown.

Known on-air as The Valley's CW, it operates out of studios located on West Boardman Street in downtown Youngstown. This subchannel can also be seen on Time Warner Cable/Youngstown and DirecTV channel 14, and Armstrong Cable channel 16. Syndicated programming featured on this station includes Seinfeld, TMZ on TV, Everybody Loves Raymond, Access Hollywood, Friends and Frasier. It uses the "WBCB" call sign for official identification purposes. Despite being part of The CW through a digital subchannel affiliation, WFMJ-DT2 is one of the few small-market CW affiliates carried via a digital multicast or local cable channel that is not part of The CW Plus, syndicated programming broadcast by the subchannel is instead supplied by WFMJ-TV.
