'''WMHT''' was formed in Albany in 1962. 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. | '''WMHT''' was formed in Albany in 1962.
