The Trinity Broadcasting Network operates four low-powered satellite stations in the Tampa Bay market. W56EB channel 56 serves Tampa, while W36CO channel 36 serves St. Petersburg and Clearwater, W48CN channel 48 serves the Sarasota-Bradenton area, and W60CE serves Sebring and Avon Park. All programming is delivered directly from TBN's national satellite feed.

W56EB, W36CO and W60CE are owned by TBN, while W48CN is owned by National Minority Television, a TBN subsidiary.

The history of these stations are unknown, though W36CO originally signed-on in the early-1990s on channel 60.

In April and May 2006, TBN applied for construction permits for each of these repeaters to begin converting operations to digital television. Upon completion, each station will become a digital repeater of TBN, broadcasting all five TBN services. Some of these stations will broadcast at a lower power than they did at analog. Two of these will also have new channel reassignments -- W56EB would move to channel 31, and W60CE would relocate to channel 51. This is due to channels 53 to 69 being phased out of television broadcasting.

None of these stations are available on cable; however, the national feed is available on Bright House digital channel 131. It is not available on Comcast systems.
