WRCF-CD (channel 29) is a low-power, Class A television station in Orlando, Florida, United States, broadcasting the Spanish-language network UniMás. It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside Univision outlet WVEN-TV (channel 43). The two stations share studios on Douglas Avenue in Altamonte Springs; WRCF-CD's transmitter is located in unincorporated Bithlo, Florida.
Even though WRCF-CD operates a digital signal of its own, the low-power broadcasting radius only covers the immediate Orlando area. Therefore, in order to reach the entire market, it is simulcast in 720p high definition on WVEN-TV's seventh digital subchannel (43.7) from the same transmitter site.
On May 8, 2017, LocusPoint Networks agreed to sell WRCF-CD to Univision Communications' Univision Local Media for $2.5 million.[2] The sale was completed on August 14.[3]
On October 13, 2021, Entravision Communications announced that it was ceding control of WVEN-TV and WRCF-CD back to Univision along with the UniMás affiliation then held by WOTF.[4]

WRCF-CD (channel 29) is a low-power, Class A television station in Orlando, Florida, United States, broadcasting the Spanish-language network UniMás. It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside Univision outlet WVEN-TV (channel 43). The two stations share studios on Douglas Avenue in Altamonte Springs; WRCF-CD's transmitter is located in unincorporated Bithlo, Florida. Even though WRCF-CD operates a digital signal of its own, the low-power broadcasting radius only covers the immediate Orlando area. Therefore, in order to reach the entire market, it is simulcast in 720p high definition on WVEN-TV's seventh digital subchannel (43.7) from the same transmitter site.
WVEN-TV (channel 43) is a television station licensed to Melbourne, Florida, United States, serving as the Orlando area outlet for the Spanish-language network Univision. It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside low-power, Class A UniMás station WRCF-CD (channel 29). The two stations share studios on Douglas Avenue in Altamonte Springs; WVEN-TV's transmitter is located in Bithlo, Florida. Channel 43 went on the air as WMOD, an English-language independent station, on July 5, 1982. Built by an investor group led by former U.S. representative Lou Frey, the station was the first broadcast TV station in Brevard County. Its early history was pocked with technical and financial trouble; the station's launch was delayed a day due to technical troubles, and signal issues caused many advertisers to flee. A larger signal issue was created when federal aviation authorities refused to allow the station to raise the height of its tower, which would have improved reception in the populous Orlando area. In 1985, New Jersey–based Press Broadcasting bought WMOD, intending to make it a more highly viewed independent in the Orlando market. It soon struggled with the same signal limitations and began a search for a remedy. In the meantime, it ceded most of the station's airtime, as well as a purchase option, to the Home Shopping Network (HSN). This gave Press time to purchase a construction permit for channel 68 and to set up a future swap to channel 18. HSN assigned its purchase option to Black-owned Blackstar Communications, which took over WMOD in April 1988 and began running it as an all-home shopping station under the new call sign WBSF. Press retained the station's syndicated programming inventory and used it to launch WKCF later that year. Blackstar sold WBSF to USA Broadcasting in 1998, but a planned change in program format never materialized, and USA Broadcasting sold the station to Univision in 2001. It was one of the USA Broadcasting stations used to start the Telefutura network—precursor to UniMás—on January 14, 2002. The station changed call signs, first to WFUO and then to WOTF-TV. Univision already had a local affiliate in Orlando, WVEN-TV (channel 26), and let its owner, Entravision Communications, handle local sales and promotion for WOTF-TV and Univision-owned Telefutura stations in five other markets. In 2017, in most of these markets, Univision and UniMás switched signals, moving Univision programming to the Univision-owned license even though Entravision continued to handle operations; as a result, WVEN-TV and WOTF-TV exchanged call signs. In Orlando and Tampa, this agreement was wound down at the end of 2021, making WVEN-TV a Univision owned-and-operated station.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
