Each concept has a confidence score. The higher it is, the more important the topic is relative to the page.

Topics

WFLA-TV Confidence: 85%

WFLA-TV, virtual channel 8 (VHF digital channel 7), is an NBC-affiliated television station located in Tampa, Florida, United States and also serving the nearby city of St. Petersburg. The station is currently owned by Nexstar Media Group, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV affiliate WTTA. The station's studios are located on South Parker Street in downtown Tampa along the Hillsborough River, and its transmitter is located in Riverview.

St. Petersburg, Florida Confidence: 85%

St. Petersburg is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. As of the 2015 census estimate, the population was 257,083, making it the fifth-most populous city in Florida and the largest in the state that is not a county seat (the city of Clearwater is the seat of Pinellas County).

NewsChannel 8 (cable channel) Confidence: 85%

NewsChannel 8 is an American regional cable news television channel that is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, and managed by the company's ABC-affiliated station WJLA-TV (channel 7) in Washington D.C. The channel provides 24-hour news coverage primarily focused on Washington, D.C., northern Virginia and suburban areas of Maryland within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The channel shares studio facilities and offices with WJLA-TV and the Rosslyn-based Politico in Arlington, Virginia. NewsChannel 8 reaches more than 1.2 million cable television households within the D.C metropolitan area.

Tampa Bay Confidence: 82%

Tampa Bay is a large natural harbor and estuary connected to the Gulf of Mexico on the west central coast of Florida, comprising Hillsboro Bay, McKay Bay, Old Tampa Bay, Middle Tampa Bay, and Lower Tampa Bay. The surrounding area is home to about 4 million residents, making it a heavily used commercial and recreational waterway but putting much stress on the bay's ecosystem, which once teemed with enough wildlife to easily support an extensive indigenous culture. Much greater care has been taken in recent decades to mitigate the effects of human habitation on Tampa Bay, and water quality has slowly improved over time.

Central Florida Confidence: 78%

Central Florida is a region of the U.S. state of Florida. Different sources give different definitions for the region, but as its name implies it is usually said to comprise the central part of the state, including the Tampa Bay and Orlando area. It is one of Florida's three best known "directional" regions, along with North Florida and South Florida. It consist of the following counties: Brevard County, Citrus County, Hardee County, Hernando County, Hillsborough County, Indian River County, Lake County, Manatee County, Marion County, Orange County, Osceola County, Pasco County, Pinellas County, Polk County, Seminole County, Sumter County, and Volusia County.
