WRBW, MyNetworkTV station in Orlando, Florida, United States
WRBW is a television station based in Orlando, Florida, broadcasting under the name FOX 35 Plus on digital channel 28. It airs a mix of local news, sports events, and national programs from its studios on Skyline Drive.
The license for channel 65 was tied up in legal disputes for years before it was awarded to entrepreneur Joseph Rey, allowing the station to begin broadcasting in 1994. After operating independently and then partnering with UPN and MyNetworkTV, it joined the FOX network in 2001.
WRBW is known locally as FOX 35 Plus and is part of everyday viewing habits for many Orlando residents. Sports fans in particular tune in for Orlando Magic basketball coverage, which the station has long carried as part of its local programming.
Although the station broadcasts on digital channel 28, it appears as channel 65 on most television sets. Programming, weather updates, and news are also available through the station's website and a mobile app.
Joseph Rey, a Cuban immigrant, spent years fighting in court to win the broadcast license, and his case drew attention to ownership rules in American broadcasting. His story made the station's early history one of the more unusual chapters in Orlando's local media.
