Previous history

Before Gray acquired the station in 2022,[2] the station carried several subchannels as "Sky 21", including a simulcast of WATC-DT from Atlanta and some local meetings, church services, and event and high school sports programming. Currently the station carries a temporary affiliation with Real America's Voice under agreements made by its previous ownership, and is expected to either become an extended satellite station of Telemundo affiliate WKTB-CD, or a satellite of WANF, WPCH-TV, or another simulcast entirely.
