WCLF

WCLF (channel 22) is a religious television station licensed to Clearwater, Florida, United States, serving the Tampa Bay area.

WCLF's studios are co-located with CTN's headquarters on 142nd Avenue in nearby Largo (with a Clearwater mailing address), and its transmitter is located near Riverview.

In August 1977, Bob D'Andrea, a local electric contractor and born again Christian, applied for a construction permit to build a television station on Tampa's then-unused channel 28.

[5] In the meantime, the station began programming prime time hours on WKID-TV in Fort Lauderdale;[6] after the permit award, interim offices were set up at D'Andrea's electrical company in Largo.

[12] One of the station's board members, John Wesley Fletcher, resigned in 1981 after being disfellowshipped by the Assemblies of God; he later played a role in the PTL financial scandal.
