WHTV is the new My Network TV affiliate licensed to Lansing, Michigan. It broadcasts its analog signal on UHF channel 18 at 200,000 watts from an 899-feet-tall transmitter located near Onondaga, Michigan, on the border between Ingham and Jackson Counties.
The station signed on in 1999, carrying programming from Bloomberg Television and Jewelry Television. It became a UPN affiliate on October 16, 2000. The station has been housed at Lansing's ABC affiliate WLAJ since 2002, along with its cable sister station WBL 30. In 2006,WHTV relocated from WLAJ's complex to the studios of CBS affiliate WLNS-TV.
As a UPN affiliate, WHTV used to carry the CBS Sports feed of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships while WLNS-TV aired the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon on Labor Day. The stations also occasionally carried Saturday NCAA football games from ABC when they conflicted with WLAJ's big ten football.
Daytime programming for the new My 18 mostly consists of syndicated programming, mostly court programming, in addition to cancelled sitcoms. [1].
