The station is owned by a Calkins Media-owned subsidiary, "Southern Broadcast Corporation of Sarasota", which also owns [[WWSB]] in [[Sarasota, Florida|Sarasota]]. It was owned by Media Ventures Management and operated by the [[Sinclair Broadcast Group]] in conjunction with Tallahassee [[NBC]] affiliate [[WTWC]] until [[2006]]. WTXL was originally housed on Thomasville Road, across the street from Lawton Chiles High School. On [[March 17]], [[2001]], WTXL moved into the [[WTWC]] [[NBC 40]] building in Killearn Lakes Plantation (off of Deerlake Road). They would stay in that building until [[February 20]], [[2006]]. On [[February 20]], [[2006]], the partnership between the stations was dissolved; WTXL no longer produces news briefs for WTWC, which it had done since [[2000]]. WTXL also produced the "WB 6 News at Ten." It was a 30-minute, Monday through Friday newscast, produced by and anchored by WTXL staff. The newscast ran from [[2000]] until the end of [[August]], [[2003]] and aired only on cable ("WB 6" was a station of [[The WB 100+ Station Group]]), as Tallahassee's only 10pm newscast. The newscast/cable channel had serveral other identities in the years before WB 6: [["WB 28 News at Ten"]] and then [["WB 11 News at Ten"]]. The newscast on WB 6 was finally cancelled in the fall of 2003, due to lack of viewership and talk of a new 10pm newscast coming soon on Tallahassee's FOX station, [[WTLH]].
 
In addition, WTXL is presently renting studio space from [[Florida State University]]'s [[PBS]] station, [[WFSU]] until a new building can be completed for the station, news director [[Richelle Ridgeway]] said (a former anchor at sister [[WWSB]]). [http://www.tdo.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060210/BREAKINGNEWS/60210005] WTXL broke ground on this new facility on June 20, 2006 in the 10/90 Commerce Park in nearby [[Midway, Gadsden County, Florida]] [http://www.tallahassee.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060628/NEWS01/606280314/1010] , scheduled to be complete by the end of the year.
