    History

    [edit]

    The station was founded on January 18, 1980, and began broadcasting on December 10 of that same year. It granted Class A status on March 8, 2001, and moved to channel 25 in October of that year. The station became a UPN affiliate when the network launched on January 16, 1995. The station removed UPN programming in January 2000, while carrying the Outdoor Channel until March 1 when it switched to AIN. UPN programming returned to the station in January 2001, while later switching to America One in September of that year.

    When WUPT moved its UPN affiliation to Fox affiliate WMQF (as a secondary affiliation) on May 9, 2003, it switched to UATV and signed off in July. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) canceled the station's license on October 27, 2003.
