In 1987, it purchased an independent station in Albany called WUSV, which became '''WMHX''' as WMHT's secondary affiliate. It went dark in 1991, but returned as WMHQ before selling it off in 1999 to become WEWB, a WB O&O station (owned by then-WB part owner, Tribune Company). Today, WMHT currently exists and so does WEWB, which became WCWN in 2006 when The CW took over. It was sold to Freedom Communications, which in turn, sold it to Sinclair Broadcast Group. | ||

*There is a local variant just for WMHT. In a 3-D marble environment, a series of multicolored bars flip up to the left and shine against a {{color|dodgerblue|bright cerulean}} background while a {{color|palevioletred|pinkish}} marble sheet turns upward with a sphere absorbing into it. Another long pinkish bar drops down to the bottom. Another sphere zooms out to the top left (causing a {{color|gold}} "{{color|gold|'''''17'''''}}" to appear) and some light rays hit it, causing a bright flash. A 3-D sphere (similarly colored as the regular one, but with a slight {{color|royalblue|royal blue}} tint) is fully formed, and the text "{{color|gold|''WMHT TV''}}" appears below the logo with "{{color|gold|''Schenectady • Albany • Troy''}}", all in a {{color|gold}} italic font, appearing on the bar.
