WNHO-LD (channel 44) was a low-power television station in Defiance, Ohio, United States. , It was a translator of Lima-based religious/secular independent station WLMA (channel 44) which is owned by American Christian Television Services. WNHO-LD's transmitter was located in Sherwood, Ohio; its parent station maintains studios near Elida, northwest of Lima. WNHO-LD's broadcast area includes most of Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Paulding and Williams counties.

Until 2018, the station was operated by iHeartMedia's WDFM radio at 98.1 FM. Its schedule consisted primarily of syndicated programming with a variety of topics including gardening, motorsports, agriculture, home improvement, and personal health.

History

[edit]

Lankenau Small Media Network, which owned WDFM radio, established WNHO-LD on March 2, 1992, on channel 19 as W19BN. In March 1997, its calls changed to WDFM-LP.[citation needed]

In December 1998, Jacor Broadcasting, which would later merge with Clear Channel, acquired WDFM and WDFM-LP from Lankenau.[citation needed]

WDFM-LP later moved its frequency from channel 19 to channel 26 to make way for the digital signal of Fort Wayne's WISE-TV, which broadcasts its digital signal on channel 18.[citation needed]

On April 20, 2007, Clear Channel entered into an agreement to sell its entire television stations group to Newport Television.[1] However, WDFM-LP was not included in the sale, as it was operated directly by the radio station, instead of the television group.

In July 2018, iHeartMedia filed to donate WDFM-LP to American Christian Television Services (the owners of WTLW in Lima, Ohio) under the condition that the WDFM call letters be changed to something "mutually agreeable" to both parties.[2][3] The transfer was complete on October 5, 2018, at which point the station's call sign was changed to WNHO-LP.[4]

In early 2019, WTLW announced plans to upgrade WNHO-LP to a digital station and move its broadcast channel to 35. WNHO-LD signed on the air on October 4, 2019.[5]

On August 1, 2024, WNHO was turned off permanently to make way for WLMB's eventual move to channel 35.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
