WUPH

WUPH is an UPN affiliate serving Hollywood, FL, and it's surrounding area. Broadcasting on channel 13, WUPH is owned and operated by Alltel Communications. Launched in 1988 as WHTA, WUPH was owned and operated by Hollywood Television Associates, and was an independent, airing children's cartoons during the day, and movies throughout the night. In 1995, the Hollywood Television Associates sold WHTA to Perry Communications, who made WHTA an affiliate of UPN. In 2005, Perry Communications sold the station to Island Television, who in turn, changed the call letters to WUPH. On Jan. 30, 2016, it was announced that Island Television, as well as Higgins Broadcasting, and Oakhurst Broadcasting, were merging into Adelphia Communications. So Island Television had to sell the station, and the station was sold to Barnes Communications. On Apr. 10, 2017, Barnes Communications, along with 4 other companies, merged to form Alltel Communications.
