History

The WHCT call letters were once used on channel 18, which is now WUVN; the station adopted the call sign in August 2001. For the ten years before it had been W69CL, with a brief change to W32BV during a failed attempt to move it to channel 32.

In December 2019 Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting agreed to purchase WHCT-LD for $1.5 million.[1]
