 When Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) began programming WLMT in 1992, the LMA included WMTU as well.The two stations became charter UPN affiliates on January 16, 1995.However, WMTU remained a primary Fox affiliate until the network's acquisition of WHBQ-TV in Memphis that November, at which point the station reverted to being a semi-satellite of WLMT; following that acquisition (which resulted in the loss of the station's Fox affiliation), WHBQ-TV began serving as the default Fox affiliate for the portion of western Tennessee that WMTU served.
