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.
Sale to Univision
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]
Subchannel
Sometime in 2019, WRCF-CD upgraded its channel into 1080i 16:9 high definition. It has previously been offered in 480i 4:3 standard definition.
