The call letters are based on the initials of corporate management family members, as has been done for many years by other Tarzans. On-air, WPTA refers to itself as “Roanoke/Fort Wayne” until the station’s license was legally changed to Fort Wayne in the 1970s. WPTA was ranked alongside WISN-TV in Milwaukee and KMBC-TV in Kansas City as one of the top ten ABC affiliates in the country.

In 2005, Granite sold WPTA to the Malara Broadcast Group for $45.3 million after purchasing NBC affiliate WISE-TV. Granite stock was purchased by Greenwich, Connecticut-based hedge fund Silver Point Capital in 2007. The company has been accused of employing Malara as a shell corporation to circumvent FCC duopoly restrictions.
