WTTO (channel 21), branded as The 205, is an independent television station licensed to Homewood, Alabama, United States, serving the Birmingham area. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside ABC affiliate WBMA-LD (channel 58, branded as ABC 33/40) and fellow independent WABM (channel 68). The stations share studios at the Riverchase office park on Concourse Parkway in Hoover (with a Birmingham mailing address); WTTO's transmitter is located atop Red Mountain in southwestern Birmingham. In Tuscaloosa, west Alabama, and the western portions of the Birmingham area, WTTO's main channel and two subchannels of WBMA-LD are rebroadcast on WDBB (channel 17), which is licensed to Bessemer. It is owned by Cunningham Broadcasting and managed by Sinclair. WTTO had a tortuous history prior to starting operations. It took nearly two decades for the station to be approved and built. Once on air, the station was a successful independent for the Birmingham area. It served as the Fox affiliate for the market from 1990 to 1996, when an affiliation shuffle resulted in the loss of the affiliation.
