Channel 20 was Washington's third independent station, nearly 20 years younger than its future sister station WTTG, which had been founded as a DuMont affiliate, and after WOOK-TV (now defunct, its channel position is now occupied by WFDC-DT), the nation's first African American-oriented television station.
