History
The station founded in November 1982 as W07BN, originally licensed to Bruce, Mississippi.[4] It was the first low-power television station in Mississippi.[5] The station aired locally produced programming including a daily newscast, government meetings, music shows, and high school sports. It was also carried on the MaxxSouth cable system throughout North Mississippi.
Owner Bruce Independent Television, Inc. sold the station in 2020 to 5GTV, LLC. The call letters were changed to WYMP-LD on July 23, 2020.
On October 25, 2021, it was announced that WYMP-LD would be sold to Gray Television for $500,000.[1] The sale was completed on February 23, 2022, making it a sister station to WMC-TV.[6] This is despite the fact that Calhoun County (which includes Bruce) lies in the Columbus–Tupelo market, which until 2026 was not served by a Gray-owned station.
The station changed its call sign to WTME-LD on August 22, 2022,[7] the station relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, in early 2024.[citation needed]
On March 10, 2024, WTME-LD switched to Telemundo programming.[citation needed]
