WARP-CD is a television station owned by the Sunshine Broadcasting Company, and broadcasts on UHF channel 20. WARP generally broadcasts infomercials and some local programming over four subchannels.

WARP originally began as an affiliate of The Box until that network's acquisition by Viacom in 2001, it became MTV2. Since then, the station began to broadcast more infomercials on its schedule.

Broadcasting on a tower on Gandy Boulevard in St. Petersburg, adjacent to Goodwill, WARP broadcasts on an east-west beam, towards central Pinellas County and Tampa, to protect the signals of Gainesville's WCJB-TV and Fort Myers' WBBH-TV, both also broadcasting on channel 20.

The station, previously WARP-CA, began broadcasting a digital-only signal in late 2009.

WARP-CA's call sign suffix (CA for Class A Low Power) was changed to WARP-CD (Class A Digital) automatically upon grant of WARP-CA's digital license in late 2009. WARP-CD currently broadcasts four channels of standard definition digital TV: 20.1, 20.2, 20.3 and 20.4.

Longtime owner Randolph Weigner (who controls Sunshine Broadcasting Company) sold WARP, along with sister station WPHA-CD in Philadelphia, to LocusPoint Networks in November 2012.^[1] The deal made WARP a sister station to WSVT-LD, which LocusPoint acquired a month later.^[2]
