Owned by Allen Media Group
- History:
- This station started off
as a new digital low power construction, initially assigned the
W17DX-D calls. It's owned by Woods Communications, which also
owns WCOV TV, and transmits from the old WCOV tower at the station's
studios in town. The station appears to have come on in June or
July of 2015, when it took on the WALE-LD calls.
It was
announced in December 2021 that Woods Communications would be
selling their Montgomery properties to Byron Allen's Allen Media
Group for $28.5 million. Allen owns several cable channels,
broadcast stations and other media properties.
In February 2022, CourtTV Mystery rebranded as ION Mystery after
Scripps acquired the ION networks.
