Public license information

WYME-CD (channel 45) is alow-power,Class A television station inGainesville, Florida, United States, affiliated withAntenna TV. It is owned bySinclair Broadcast Group alongsideCBS/MyNetworkTV/NBC affiliateWGFL (channel 28); Sinclair also provides certain services toWNBW-DT (channel 9) under alocal marketing agreement (LMA) with MPS Media. The three stations share studios on Northwest 80th Boulevard (alongI-75/SR 93) in Gainesville and transmitter facilities on Southwest 30th Avenue nearNewberry.

Even though WYME-CD broadcasts a digital signal of its own, itsbroadcast range is limited to the immediate Gainesville area. However, it receives full-market over-the-air coverage via WNBW's fourthdigital subchannel (9.4).[2]

History

[edit]

WYME began operations in 1994 as W14CB, broadcasting on UHF channel 14. In early 1997, the station increased its power and changed its call letters to WJXE-LP. During this period, the station was known on-air as "TV-14" and mainly aired programming from theAmerica One television network.

WJXE changed its callsign to WYPN-CA in 2001, when the station upgraded to Class A service and started broadcasting on UHF channel 43 (moving tochannel 45 in 2003). About a year later, the America One programming was dropped and WYPN became a satellite of sister stationWGFL on July 15, 2002, the same day the latter station became a CBS affiliate. This arrangement lasted until December 1, 2004, when WYPN gained theUPN affiliation and became a separate station. WYPN then positioned itself as "UPN 11", choosing to identify by its cable channel number despite broadcasting over-the-air on channel 45.[3]

When the UPN and WB networks merged to formThe CW in 2006, WYPN was made a satellite of Lake City sister stationWMYG-LP, which became an affiliate of the newMyNetworkTV programming service on September 5, 2006. This arrangement was done primarily due to WMYG's over-the-air signal being channel 11 (the same as WYPN's cable number). In the months prior to the switch, WYPN omitted "UPN" from their logo and on-screen graphics and re-branded itself as "WYPN 11".

Five years later, on May 3, 2011, WYPN became an affiliate of the MeTV network. To reflect the new affiliation, the station changed its call letters to WYME-CA.[4] This time, the station didn't go by its channel number, instead simply identifying itself as "MeTV Gainesville".

On September 25, 2013, New Age Media announced that it would sell most of its stations, including the then WYME-CA, WGFL, and WMYG-LP, to theSinclair Broadcast Group. Concurrently, MPS Media planned to sell WNBW-DT toCunningham Broadcasting, though Sinclair would still operate that station.[5][6][7] On October 31, 2014, New Age Media requested the dismissal of its application to sell WYME-CA;[8] the next day, Sinclair purchased the non-license assets of the stations it planned to buy from New Age Media and began operating them through a master service agreement.[9][10]

On May 28, 2025, Sinclair announced that it would acquire WYME and WGFL outright.[11] The sale was completed on August 1.[12]
