History

On October 16, 1990, construction permit 890310UU became W25BF. On July 7, 1997, W25BF became WIMP-LP. WIMP became a class A station on September 18, 2001, and became WIMP-CA as a result. After a flash-cut to digital TV while staying on physical TV channel 25, it became WIMP-CD in November 2009.

Then-owner Sunshine Broadcasting Company sold WIMP-CD's spectrum as part of the broadcast incentive auction, for $3,138,184. On December 15, 2017, Sunshine Broadcasting closed on the donation of the station to South Florida PBS, Inc.. It plans to enter into a channel-sharing arrangement to operate the station on the spectrum allocated to their WPBT. The station changed its call sign to WURH-CD on December 27, 2017.

Previously with the Home Shopping Network, and an affiliate of Elementos TV, a new Hispanic TV network from Salt Lake City, Utah.

gollark: Apparently there's yet *another* issue with phone network stuff (https://www.rtl-sdr.com/eavesdropping-on-lte-calls-with-a-usrp-software-defined-radio/) because apparently the designers/implementors are... idiots, so far as I can tell?
gollark: It does exist, but if people keep going "well it's not real anyway" a lot as if it's already gone, that will not really help.
gollark: ... no.
gollark: I think I'm somewhat safer than average due to running my phone without Google services and carefully monitoring apps' location use, but the phone network also leaks location data horribly.
