In addition to the main channel, WUCF TV also launched Create on channel 24.2, World on channel 24.3 and Vme on channel 24.4. WUCF TV is the sole-service PBS member station for the nearly 4 million Central Floridians across nine counties.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to spending many more years with you.
