cable only station with fictional call letters wrwb which replaced xwbt branded as wb26 on cable channel 26 which launched in the mid 1990s . it was an affiliate of the wb and despite being in a market larger than those in the wb 100 station group followed a similar structure and program lineup to the stations in that group . the station was operated by time warner cable at that time a subsidiary of wb co owner time warner . on january 24 2006 the wb and upn announced that they would end broadcasting and merge to form the cw and on march 7 it was announced that wrwb would be the new network s rochester affiliate . after the switch on september 18 the station s on air identity changed from rochester s wb 16 to rochester s cw with a tv 16 logo used to denote its cable channel and the fictional wrwb calls were laid aside . on november 13 2006 clear channel communications took over the operation of rochester s cw from time warner cable . it renamed the service cw wham and began to simulcast on a new second digital subchannel of wham tv to offer over the air viewers access to cw programming . it moved operations from the time warner cable offices on mount hope avenue ny route 15 in downtown into wham s facilities on west henrietta road also ny 15 . however the station continues to air on time warner channels 16 and 1212 in standard definition and high definition . cw wham has since been re branded as the cw rochester . on october 1 2010 wham dt2 began airing pier 6 wrestling shakedown a popular wrestling program filmed and produced locally for the rochester audience . newscasts edit on january 15 2007 wham tv expanded its weekday morning show to include two hours 7 until 9 seen exclusively on this second subchannel known as 13 wham news this morning on rochester cw while the former airs good morning america . originally wham dt2 also simulcasted the 5 to 7 portion of the broadcast but it was eventually dropped . on september 13 2010 wham tv became the first station in rochester to upgrade newscasts to high definition . the weekday morning show on wham dt2 was included in the change . 2 3 4 initially it was only seen in hd on time warner cable digital channel 1016 now on 1212 since this station only aired in pillarboxed 4 3 standard definition . at some point thereafter this subchannel s signal was upgraded to 720p hd . as a result the subchannel now airs the wham tv newscasts in hd . on january 1 2011 wham dt2 began airing a nightly half hour prime time newscast called 13 wham news at 10 on rochester cw . this at the time competed with fox affiliate wuhf which had a nightly 45 minute broadcast produced then by cbs affiliate wroc tv . 5 on october 8 2013 it was announced that as a result of wham s sale to an affiliate of wuhf s owner sinclair wuhf would re locate to wham s studios in henrietta and air wham produced newscasts beginning january 1 2014 . as a result the morning renamed good day rochester and 10 p.m. newscasts
