WLTF-LD

== History ==
WLTF signed on the air on August 1st, 1998 as a UPN station. Owned by Las Vegas Television, LLC, its signal could only reach the city of Las Vegas. To assist in viewership, WLTF could be seen on local cable systems throughout the area. The studios of WLTF were located at a facility in Henderson, where WLTF still is today. However because there wasn't any space at the office building for a master control facility, those operations were handled at the transmitter facility in downtown Las Vegas. That was handled by the engineer on duty at the time, where they would've switched feeds and insert commercials and promos on tapes manually.
In 2006, the WB and UPN merged to create the CW. WLTF was not chosen for The CW or FOX's MyNetworkTV due to its signal reach. Since none of the revived networks opted to take the station, WLTF became an independent station, where primetime was filled with public domain shows and films. It would later become a full time affiliate of RetroTV, dropping all syndicated programming in the progress. After it shutdown, it affiliated with several subchannel networks, from TheCoolTV to The Cowboy Channel. Finally, it affiliated with You Too America in 2018.
WLTF shut down its analog signal on May 1st, 2013, and switched to digital.
Citing huge losses in profit, WLTF was sold to Lake Hill Broadcasting in September of 2020. After the sale concluded, WLTF added Lake Hill's Newsfix, and later PodVision. In 2021, Lake Hill announced the launch of H Channel, with WLTF signing on as a charter affiliate. 
== Programming ==
Syndicated programming includes Daily Blast Live, The Daily Flash, America Says, among others. WLTF also broadcasts local high school sports via the NFHS Network feeds. 
== Newscasts ==
Throughout the station's history, the station had no newscasts or local programming of any kind. Due to the station being low powered, WLTF was not required to broadcast local programming or PSAs. It was also not in the station's budget to broadcast local programming of any kind. 
In 2016, WLTF launched a public affairs show "Vegas Live" to start local programming. They also partnered with The Vegas Sun for local news updates produced by WLTF.
Lake Hill announced that the station would start a news department. The newscast would be a full hour at 9pm, an hour earlier than the FOX/CW station's primetime newscast. Although WLTF's newscast is produced at WLTF's studios in Henderson, the newscast's control room as well as weathercast, are done at Newsfix Local Productions in Indianapolis, Indiana, where WLTF's master control is located.
