"5" WUFT PBS Gainesville North Florida
"20" WCJB ABC Gainesville North Florida
"51" WOGX Fox Ocala Orlando

Please note that none of these 3 channels are available on local cable systems in this area, and are impossible to get over-the-air without a good outdoor antenna. These 3 channels were originally listed in the old TCI Cable edition, which covered TCI systems in Pinellas & Pasco Counties. In 1993, regions changed from cable areas to parts of counties. Since TCI covered parts of Northern Pinellas, the Gainesville / Ocala channels were included in the Northern Pinellas edition, though there's no point for their inclusion, as TCI doesn't offer these channels, either. WWSB ch.40, the ABC affiliate from Sarasota, was dropped in September 1998 to make room for "66", but, considering that "40" is easily available in Pinellas and "20" isn't (in Tampa Bay, ch.20 is a low-powered independent), "20" was the one that should've been dropped from this edition.
