As part of The CW Plus, the station does not broadcast over-the-air, and its call sign is entirely fictional.

History
In 1999, after MBX Cable dropped Superstation WGN after the drop of The WB feed, the cable company announced that it partnered up with Time Warner (ironically, the former owners of MBX Cable) and Tribune Broadcasting to create a Matchboxtown WB station for its subscribers who were frustrated over the drop of WGN national feed. The station was part of WB 100+, until its rebrand into The CW Plus in 2006 after Warner Bros and CBS both shutted down The WB and UPN respectfully, and merged the networks into The CW.

This channel wasn't dropped after RTC's bankruptcy in 2009.

When Charter acquired 180 Richardstown Cable subscribers, WBRT was retained albeit moved to channel 23.
