==History==
The station first signed on the air on March 6, 1986 by TVX Broadcast Group, and operating it as a religious independent station. Some of the shows that initially aired on the station were Catholic programs from the Irondale-based Eternal Word Television Network, as well as programming from the Southern Baptist Convention's ACTS Network. However, its ratings took a dive after the Trinity Broadcasting Network signed on, and it's ratings never recovered. Eventually, it began airing home shopping programming and infomercials with religious shows being relegated to part of the broadcast day. In October, WMNC became a charter affiliate of the Fox Broadcasting Company and dropped its "TV 66" branding in favor of "Fox 66". In 1992, TVX sold WMNC to River City Broadcasting. River City began making upgrades to the station, including launching their prime-time newscast in 1995. The station moved out of their old studios in Mayberry, and moved into their new studios. The station was sold to Sinclair Broadcast Group in 1996.
