MyNetworkTV's website links WDCA to the site http://www.my20dc.com/ . This appears to be their new website, although it is not yet operational.
File:Wdca.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The article notes that WDCA is supposedly carrying NewsCorp's new Latino network MundoFox. However, the station does not appear on the network's list of affiliates, and the 20.2 subchannel has been showing a simulcast of sister station WTTG. Perhaps this is an intended programming change, but until it actually happens, it should not be reported as a fait accompli.
Furthermore, the reference used to support this information (Rabbitears.info) indicates only that it is coming soon. There is no date provided.
On this basis, I'm updating the article to reflect what is actually happening.

I see there have been some mods to this article since the last time I visited. A few more comments:
1) I previously removed the statement "WDCA is currently the only MundoFox station owned by the network itself." since it was undocumented and I questioned its significance in the first place. Clearly someone disagrees with me on the latter point, as the statement has been restored. Could we have some documentation, please? I flagged it as "citation needed."
2) 20.2 is not now broadcasting, and to the best of my knowledge never has broadcast MundoFox. I have been checking back on the subchannel often, and the only thing it is broadcasting is the WTTG simulcast. Therefore, the statement "MundoFox is broadcast on sub-channel 20.2" is inaccurate. I have modified this to indicate the likely future use of this subchannel to broadcast MundoFox, but also indicated its correct current use.
3) "Prior to August 13, 20.2 carried a standard-definition feed of sister station WTTG." - this is also inaccurate. Channel 20.2 did not exist as an active sub-channel until mid-August (not sure of the exact date). When 20.2 did start broadcasting, it did so with the WTTG simulcast, which continues to this day.
4) I removed my statement about MundoFox never having been carried on 20.2, which had been flagged as "citation needed." I agree that this is too broad a statement to make without documentation, although I know it to be true. No original research, however, so the statement goes.
I neither question WDCA's status as a MundoFox affiliate (although I continue to find it odd that neither WDCA's website nor MundoFox's mention this affiliation, if true), nor do I question the likelihood that the 20.2 sub-channel will eventually be used to show MundoFox programming. I simply want the article to be as accurate as possible, and to reflect the current state of their broadcast schedule. When they start carrying MundoFox, I'll be the first to support changing this article to reflect it. But it hasn't happened yet.

Another week, and still no sign of MundoFox programming on 20.2. Monitoring. GodaiNoBaka ( talk) 10:19, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Two more weeks later. Still no MundoFox, but 20.2 now carries a SD feed of WDCA's main programming instead of that of WTTG.
It's also been brought to my attention that in addition to being missing from the MundoFox website, WDCA is conspicuously absent from the affiliate list published on MundoFox's Facebook page in late July:

By George, we finally have MundoFox. Now...anybody got a source on the statement about WDCA being the only O&O station to carry it? GodaiNoBaka ( talk) 22:32, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
It's been nearly three months since I questioned the statement about WDCA being the sole Fox O&O that is carrying MundoFox. Since nobody has sourced this claim despite it having been removed (and reverted) and tagged as "citation needed" I think it's now time to get rid of it again, until someone sources it properly.

May 27, 2013 saw the launch of the new Movies! network. Originally this was to air on WTTG subchannel 5.2 in the Washington D.C. market, and was being so advertised both on the Movies! website and in teaser ads on 5.2 until immediately prior to the launch. Apparently some last-minute decision was made to move Movies! to the 20.2 sub-channel, with Mundo Fox being pushed up to 10.3.
The new channel assignments seem to be official: the MundoFox website http://www.mundofox.com/ and the Movies! website http://www.moviestvnetwork.com/where-to-watch.php have both been updated to reflect the new assignments.

If WDCA was still affiliated with My Network TV then they would of not change the signs, but they did change the sign so the affiliated of MY Network TV has to be removed form the WDCA pages. and 20.2 has to be changed too FOX 5 PLUS, since it is no longer a my network tv station
