History
[
edit
]
Until February 9, 2007, WTMO's primary signal (as WTMO-LP) was the WKME transmitter. Until early 2006 at the latest, it was located on channel 40, but moved to channel 15 shortly before
WACX
signed on its digital signal on channel 40. Based in Kissimmee, this signal is far enough away with a directional pattern towards Kissimmee, so it would not interfere with WCEU (now
WDSC-TV
), which also broadcasts on channel 15. As a result, channel 15's coverage area only covers Kissimmee, forcing WTMO to reach the rest of the Orlando area via cable. In late 2006, ZGS acquired WDYB, WMVJ, and the channel 31 license (then WPXG-LP) from
Tiger Eye Broadcasting
to expand WTMO's
over-the-air
reach.
[3]
The station began broadcasting in digital on RF channel 31 on 10 August 2011.
On December 4, 2017,
NBCUniversal
's
Telemundo Station Group
announced its purchase of ZGS' 13 television stations.
[4]
The sale was completed on February 1, 2018.
[5]
WTMO is now owned by the same company that also owns nearby
Universal Orlando Resort
, although the resort is part of a different subsidiary of NBCUniversal.
