History
On January 19, 2022, it was announced that Gray Television would purchase the station, then known as WMJN-LD, from Emmanuel Broadcasting Corporation for $330,000;[1] the sale was completed on March 8.[3]
Gray announced on May 3, 2022, that it had reached an agreement with NBCUniversal to start Telemundo channels, primarily as adjuncts to Gray stations, in 22 additional Southern markets and renew existing affiliations in 12 others.[4] The new service launched September 2, 2022, with the renamed WTHV-LD also carrying a simulcast of WAFF's main NBC subchannel on 29.2. As of 2024, WTHV-LD no longer simulcasts WAFF, but has added new subchannels from Free TV Networks including Defy, The365 and Outlaw.
