The station which operates on UHF channel 53 signed on the air on November 12, 1985 as an independent station until 1995, when it joined UPN. When the station first went on the air, it was co-owned with WFLI radio, a radio station licensed to Lookout Mountain, TN. It was later sold by Ying Hua Benns to Lambert Broadcasting in 1997, and further switched networks to The WB in 2001. In 2004, WFLI again changed hands and was sold to Meredith Broadcasting (www.meredith.com), owner of television stations and publications nationally.
